G-Eazy has shared some heartbreaking news: his mother, Suzanne Olmsted, has passed away.
In a lengthy, gut-wrenching note posted to social media, along with several photos of her over the years (and a voicemail from her), the rapper shared his emotions amidst his mother's passing. He shared, "I love you so much. The shock still wonât let me accept the feeling that Iâll never get to hug you in person again. My queen, my hero, my everything⊠my mom. The tears wonât stop. My eyes hurt, my face hurts, my body hurts, everywhere hurts. Thereâs no safe place to hide and thereâs no way to lay, sit, or stand that doesnât hurt. The pain is enormous. But I know youâre out of yours and that brings me peace."
He continued, "I love you so much. The power of your plight to survive and protect us against all odds will forever be awe-inspiring. You were the definition of super-human⊠the context of which I gained gradually throughout my life. What you went through, the pain you endured, and the impossible adversity you faced will stay with me forever, deeply engrained in the fibers of my identity and being. You will always be my biggest inspiration."
G-Eazy went on to say, "As deeply as I was worried about you and your physical health, I didnât realize the extent of just how worried you were about me until you sent me the hardest letter Iâve ever had to read⊠Going to treatment for alcohol and drugs was my decision but your letter was what ultimately persuaded me. They say the opposite of addiction is connection, and Iâd never felt more connected to you than I have in the past months. Coming home to this wasnât easy, and nothing will ever be moving forward⊠but like you would always say, âone step at a time and donât look at the summitâ"
The rapper ended his emotional message by telling his mom, "I love you so much. You loved your two boys more than life itself and we love you the same. Luckily we have each other to hold and to lean on and thatâs all that matters. Our hearts are broken, but they are full of love and gratitude for the life you gave us. With us always⊠we love you mom."
