Last Friday, September 7th, famous rapper Mac Miller was found dead in his Studio City, CA, home around noon.

Recently, before his death, Malcolm had been open to his listeners about his struggles of drug abuse by referencing it in some of his songs. Especially, his 2014 mix-tape “Faces.”  He stated, “That’s what I was experiencing at the time. That’s fine, that’s good, that’s life. It should be all the emotions.”

Malcolm’s long-term relationship with popular singer Ariana Grande came to an end this past May, the same month he was charged with a DUI and arrested. According to the Los Angeles Attorney’s Office, the rapper was charged with a DUI due to a car accident in the San Fernando Valley.

Shortly after the incident, Grande posted a tweet saying, “pls take care of yourself.”

As Malcolm’s profile rose, he appeared in more news headlines. In addition to his legal troubles, a 2012 lawsuit from producer Lord Finesse, was eventually settled out of court.

Rapper Post Malone is keeping Mac Miller close to his heart. Post found a way to honor Mac by wearing a specially designed outfit with “RIP MAC MILLER” printed in big pink letters across the front of the shirt.
