G-Eazy | Gerald Earl Gillum

You’re familiar with G-Eazy as a hip-hop superstar with credits like No Limit and Him & I. However, there’s no way G-true Eazy’s name is G-Eazy. While many people have amazing parents, we can’t imagine his parents being cool enough to write that on his birth certificate. His stage name, we promise, is a lot easier to pronounce than his real name.

Gerald Earl Gillum is his real name, which is tough for us to repeat ten times fast. With so much going on, it’s understandable that he chose the stage moniker G-Eazy. Now that we know his real name, how did he go by his stage name? G-Eazy is from his initials. He went by the moniker “G.E.” because his middle name begins with “E.” When it came time for a rap moniker, he needed a name that suited his songs and raps.
