G-Eazy Told Desus and Mero Why He Picked School Over Touring with Drake

The rapper stopped by 'Desus & Mero' to talk about his career, weed, the Bay, and more.

When someone offers you the chance to tour with Drake, most budding musicians would jump at the opportunity full-force. But not G-Eazy. Instead, the rapper decided that it was more important to graduate than continue the entire length of the tour, which, of course, is a difficult choice to make.

During Thursday's episode of Desus & Mero, G-Eazy talked about ditching Drake and how it ultimately worked in his favor. He still managed to secure a high-profile music career after copping his diploma.

"I've hated school from day one," he told the VICELAND hosts. "But I was like, 'If I'm gonna finish something, I'm gonna finish something.'"

G-Eazy also told Desus and Mero about smoking weed, his worst job, his many Bay Area influences, and the awkward moment his mom caught him having sex in high school.
