February 2020 was a weird time. Right before the world shut down, the internet collectively lost its mind over a ten-second clip. You probably remember it. It was Super Bowl weekend in Miami, and suddenly, there was G-Eazy on Instagram Stories, nuzzling into Megan Thee Stallion’s cheek like he was trying to find treasure.
He wasn't just leaning in; he was basically "sucking the makeup off her face," as one fan famously put it. Meg was laughing, her leg was draped over him, and they looked... well, cozy is an understatement. The "Hot Girl Summer" was seemingly turning into a "G-Eazy Winter," and the Hotties (Megan's fanbase) were not having it.

The Night That Sparked a Thousand Memes
The scene was set in a VIP section after the big game. Both rappers were in town for performances, and they ended up at the same party. But it wasn't just a quick hello. G-Eazy posted a photo of Megan on his main feed with a bunch of blue heart emojis. That’s usually the universal signal for "we’re a thing."
Then came the video. It was messy. It was intimate. And because it was Black History Month, Twitter had a field day. People were calling it a "glitch in the simulation."
The backlash was swift. G-Eazy’s ex, model Yasmin Wijnaldum, didn't stay quiet either. She posted a video of herself winking to a song with lyrics about "fuckin' anything that walks." Ouch. The drama was peak 2020 energy.
Megan’s Iconic "He Like Fenty" Response
Megan has always been the queen of setting the record straight. She didn’t let the rumors simmer for more than 24 hours. She took to Twitter with a classic response: "Lol alright nowww y’all got all y’all jokes out 😂 but I am not fucking G Eazy."
Simple. Direct. Very Megan.
But the internet being the internet, people had follow-up questions. Specifically, why was he all over her face if they weren't together? Megan’s reply became instant legend: "He like fenty." Basically, she was saying he just liked her foundation. It was a masterclass in shutting down a dating rumor while keeping it lighthearted. Honestly, it’s one of the best celebrity deflections we've seen in years.
Was It All Just a Publicity Stunt?
In the industry, we call this a "promo play."
- Timing: G-Eazy was about to drop "Still Be Friends" with Tyga and Tory Lanez.
- The Lyrics: The song literally asks, "How can we f— and still be friends though?"
- The Buzz: Suddenly, everyone was talking about G-Eazy again.
A week later, G-Eazy showed up at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars party and confirmed what Megan had already said. "We're just friends," he told reporters. He called her "incredible" and "talented," but the romantic spark was officially extinguished—at least in the eyes of the public.
Interestingly, some fans pointed out that the "Still Be Friends" track seemed to lean into the viral moment. Whether it was planned or just a drunken Miami night that they decided to capitalize on, it worked. It kept them both in the headlines for an entire week.
The Aftermath and Where They Are Now
Since that chaotic weekend, their paths haven't really crossed much. Megan went on to dominate the world with Savage and WAP, dealing with much more serious personal issues later that year. G-Eazy moved on to a high-profile relationship with Ashley Benson shortly after.
Looking back, the G-Eazy and Megan Thee Stallion "relationship" was less of a romance and more of a fever dream. It was a moment where two very different worlds of hip-hop collided for a weekend, created some great memes, and then went back to their respective lanes.

What You Should Take Away From This
Celebrity dating rumors are often just high-speed noise. When you see a "steamy" video, remember that these artists are often in the same social circles and know exactly how to trigger the algorithm.
- Check the source: If it's on an IG Story and deleted an hour later, it’s designed to be screenshotted and spread.
- Look for the "drop": Check if one of the artists has a single coming out within 7 days. Usually, the answer is yes.
- Trust the "No": When a woman as direct as Megan says it’s not happening, believe her.
If you're looking for more real tea on celebrity connections, pay attention to the "soft launch" vs. the "viral leak." The leak is almost always for the charts; the soft launch is usually for the heart.
