Halsey penned a poignant response to people who had been taunting her about her ex-boyfriend, G-Eazy, on social media.

Early Monday morning, the "Clementine" singer commented on her own Instagram post to call out a slew of trolls who were writing her ex's name.

"I see y'all in the comments," she wrote. "And I know you think you're funny. Cause you're at home on your iPhone and I'm not a real human being to you."

"I hope to God you never have to experience an abusive relationship. And if you do, I hope the world is kinder to you than you are to me," she concluded, adding a heart emoji.

Just a few days ago, Halsey was forced to interrupt her own pre-Super Bowl performance in Miami to call out an attendee who kept shouting G-Eazy's name.

"If you say G-Eazy one more f---ing time I will kick you out of this party," she said in a now-viral video shared by a fan on Twitter. "I will kick your f---ing a-- outside this party. Test me. F---ing test me. You wanna get out of the crowd?"

The singer went on to look for the person in the crowd and say: "You're not going to disrespect me like that at my own f---ing show."

The 25-year-old singer-songwriter and 30-year-old rapper dated for over a year before they split in July 2018. Although they briefly got back together, they officially ended their relationship in October of that year

Halsey went on to write her hit song "Without Me" about their "heinous" breakup. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 last year for two weeks and has since been certified six-times platinum

When she performed the song on "Saturday Night Live," she plastered her backdrop with phrases that read like admissions of infidelity: "I'm so sorry Ashley, I cheated," "in Minneapolis," "at home in Los Angeles," "in Austin," "in New Orleans," and "more places I can't even remember."

Although the two artists broke up more than a year ago, G-Eazy's name started trending on Twitter recently, since it looks like he has a new girlfriend.

Videos of G-Eazy dancing with "Hot Girl Summer" rapper Megan Thee Stallion have been making the rounds online. He also posted a video of the two of them cuddling on his Instagram Story — although he was very recently dating the Dutch model Yasmin Wijnaldum, and it's unclear when or if they broke up.

Halsey's name also began trending on Twitter on Monday, with many people defending her and her reactions to his name.

Some fans referenced Halsey's lyrics from other songs that she apparently wrote about G-Eazy, including "Graveyard," "You Should Be Sad," and "Killing Boys."

Others are simply dumbfounded that G-Eazy has managed to date so many talented and popular women (he dated Lana Del Rey before Halsey).
