G-Eazy’s camp denies poem in ex Halsey’s new book is about him

Easy, tiger!

G-Eazy’s camp is quite keen that readers don’t jump to the conclusion that a new poem by his ex, Halsey — in which she describes an abusive, lanky, coke-freak boyfriend — is about him.

In her anthology, “I Would Leave Me If I Could,” Halsey included the poem “Lighthouse,” in which she wrote a grim account of a relationship with a man who is “7 feet tall” with dark hair and who does lines “for days on end” until he would “pace the room in circles,” at his California home and cry “banging his fist against his forehead” until his knuckles bled. She writes at one point that the subject put his hands around her neck and said, “I’m going to f–king kill you” — and that she “believe[d] him.”

Perhaps because G-Eazy, whom she dated from 2017 to 2018, lives in California, has dark hair and stands 6-foot-4 — or perhaps because he has a well-documented history of coke use — there has been some speculation the poem is about him.

But when we suggested it, his publicist said, “We understand everyone’s desire to continually link them for sensationalist purposes, but she did not name any names, so for anyone to speculate is just irresponsible.”
