In November 2017, Lil Peep died of an overdose. It is the latest in a spate of deaths of high-profile rappers in the last 12 months. I will continue to pray from the bottom of my heart that he figures it all out and that any other woman in this position does as well.”Ĭomments on Grande’s Instagram account appear to have been disabled following an influx of comments blaming her for Miller’s death. I didn’t share how hard or scary it was while it was happening but it was. “I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (And always will of course) but shaming / blaming women for a man’s inability to keep his shit together is a very major problem. Responding to a fan on Twitter who blamed her for the split, Grande referred to their relationship as “toxic”. He was taken into custody and released on $15,000 (£11,600) bail. Officers discovered him at home, where he reportedly confessed to driving drunk and fleeing the scene.


The couple’s separation became public knowledge this May after Miller was arrested for allegedly crashing his car while drunk and then fleeing the scene on foot. It was widely – and, Miller said, incorrectly – assumed that his 2016 album The Divine Feminine concerned his new relationship with the musician Ariana Grande, and that its follow-up, this year’s Swimming, referenced their split. “I used to rap super openly about really dark shit,” he told Vulture magazine in a profile published on 6 September, “because that’s what I was experiencing at the time.

He became a peer of artists including Thundercat, Kendrick Lamar and Vince Staples who pioneered progressive combinations of hip-hop and jazz. Initially considered part of the frat-rap scene, his sound shifted throughout his career.

His second album, 2013’s Watching Movies With the Sound Off, fared better among critics and established his production skills, which he executed under the pseudonym Larry Fisherman. Miller later said that the criticism and resulting stress led to him developing an addiction to “purple drank”, a combination of codeine and promethazine. It became the first independently distributed hip-hop album to debut at No 1 on the Billboard album charts, but received poor reviews. His debut studio album, Blue Slide Park, was released on Rostrum Records in 2011. He released a number of mixtapes under the name EZ Mac and as part of the group the Ill Spoken during his teens. Miller was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 19 January 1992. Mac’s death is a devastating loss and cuts short a life and a talent of huge potential, where the possibilities felt limitless.” “Mac was a hugely gifted and inspiring artist, with a pioneering spirit and a sense of humor that touched everyone he met. “All of us at Warner Bros Records are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic news of Mac Miller’s untimely passing,” the co-chairman and chief operating officer, Tom Corson, said in a statement.
