Mac Miller’s untimely death has been quite a shocker to his fans and colleagues in the music biz.
The 26 year old rapper was found unconscious at his San Fernando home on Friday noon, where he was declared dead on the spot from an apparent drug overdose.
Miller – who’s had a long battle with substance addiction, also dated singer Ariana Grande for nearly 2 years, starting from August 2016 to May 2018.
His ‘drug problems’ were also cited by Ariana as one of the reasons why the two broke-up, and according to folks close to the rapper, the separation worsened his indulgence into it.
While there were a number of online trolls who were directly blaming Ariana Grande for leading the rapper to his death, the singer chose to remember her former beau by posting a picture of him on her social media handle, and also ‘disabling’ the comments on her account to avoid any form of negativity.

One of the last performances of the duo was at Grande’s ‘One Love Manchester’ concert on June 2017, where they took the stage to perform, ‘The Way’ – which was Grande’s debut single and also featured Miller in a rap-cameo.
It is certainly bittersweet to relive the moment again now.
