Drake, Cardi B & more shows support to G-Eazy after his mother passed away.
G-Eazy took to his social media to reveal that his mother, Suzanne Olmsted has passed away. The “When It’s Dark Out” rapper shared some throwback pictures of his mother, with a heartfelt caption.
“I love you so much. The shock still won’t let me accept the feeling that I’ll never get to hug you in person again. My queen, my hero, my everything… my mom,” wrote G-Eazy. “The tears won’t stop. My eyes hurt, my face hurts, my body hurts, everywhere hurts. There’s no safe place to hide and there’s no way to lay, sit, or stand that doesn’t hurt. The pain is enormous. But I know you’re out of yours and that brings me peace. 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.”
“As deeply as I was worried about you and your physical health, I didn’t realize the extent of just how worried you were about me until you sent me the hardest letter I’ve 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 I’d never felt more connected to you than I have in the past months. Coming home to this wasn’t easy, and nothing will ever be moving forward… but like you would always say, ‘one step at a time and don’t look at the summit’. 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 that’s 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.”
G-Eazy received support from various fellow artists, including Drake, Cardi B, E-40 and more. “Rest up sweet lady always showed me the most love,” wrote Drizzy. “My condolences to you and your family,” says Cardi B.
Although his heart is “broken,” G-Eazy, who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area with his family, is overcome with “love and thankfulness” knowing that his brother, James Gillum, is there to help him through his pain. Olmsted’s cause of death, however, remains unknown at this moment.
Meanwhile, G-Eazy described his mother as a “superhero” in an interview with People earlier this year. “Getting to take care of her now and buy her a home is one of the finest sensations in the world,” he told the site. “As well as making her smile.”
