Well, this is a new one. Bay Area rapper G-Eazy apparently misplaced his I.D. while going through airport security with singer, and his partner, Halsey. Unlike us mere mortals who would probably have to just head on back home, G-Eazy was able to use a copy of XXL Magazine's Spring 2018 issue to prove his identity. Yes, his face was gracing the front cover.

It was much to the dismay of Halsey, who tweeted her (mock) annoyance:
Gerald lost his ID and he’s trying to use the cover of @XXL as part of his additional identification to get through airport security I’m so annoyed

Twitter found the whole thing hilarious:
I CANT BREATHE IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO JUST HOLD UP A MAGAZINE TO AIRPORT SECURITY TO IDENTIFY URSELF

The move may have been unconventional, but guess what?
It worked ???????? https://t.co/Vp7y7pOjOG

Props to G-Eazy. We'll make sure we use this nifty trick next time we can't get through airport security or into a club. Now to find a way to get ourselves on the cover of XXL...
