Rapper Mac Miller, 26, was confirmed dead of a suspected overdose. The 26-year-old-rapper was found in his San Fernando Valley home and pronounced dead at the scene, according toTMZ.

Mac, who struggled with drugs throughout his life, dated pop singer Ariana Grande for two years before separating in May. The two remained friends, with Miller gushing about her single “No Tears Left To Cry.” “Very proud of this girl right here. Welcome back. We missed You. One of a kind,” he tweeted then. In the past, Ariana also showed affection for the rapper even after their breakup. She called him “one of my best friends in the whole world and favorite people on the planet.” She also said, “I respect and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form, at all times regardless of how our relationship changes or what the universe holds for each of us!”

ET say she is devastated by the loss. She disabled her comments on Instagram after some fans began to blame her for Mac’s death.

In the past, she has also been blamed for Mac Miller’s DUI arrest, to which she responded, “How absurd that you minimize female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them, which btw isn’t the case,” adding that “I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be.”

Ariana hasn’t released any statements since the tragedy, but just this morning, she posted a black and white photo of Mac in her Instagram account without any captions.
