BREAKING NEWS - Ariana Grande's Ex Mac Miller Dead Of An Apparent Overdose
Posted on Fri Sep 7th, 2018 2:15pm PDT By X17 Staff
Yet another bright young talent gone too soon.
Rapper Mac Miller was found dead of an apparent overdose around noon this afternoon at his San Fernando Valley home, TMZ first reported. A male pal called 911 and he was pronounced dead at the scene, but no other details are being released at this time.
Miller famously dated Ariana Grande for two years before she became engaged to Pete Davidson a month after their split. He has openly struggled with substance abuse, and numerous outlets claim his addiction issues were to blame for their breakup.
Back in May, he was arrested for a DUI and hit-and-run after wrapping his G-Wagon around a pole while intoxicated and then fleeing the scene.
In an eerie twist, Miller discussed overdosing in a 2012 interview. "I'd rather be the corny white rapper than the drugged-out mess who can't even get out of his house. Overdosing is just not cool. You don't go down in history because you overdose. You just die," he said.
Miller’s tour to promote his new album Swimming was scheduled to kick off on October 27.
He was 26.
