i just want anyone who sees this to know how much i loved him & how heartbroken i am. he was excited to shoot that music video. i was seeing so many posts dehumanizing him. it’s about Malcolm James Mccormick & how f*cking incredible he was. however i can see how people could perceive that post differently not knowing how close i was with him & that breaks my heart & i’m sorry for that. i want him to be remembered for the incredible person he was & i was sharing my experience. not just a tweet & something everyone moves on from.
i wanted to show you the perspective i saw him from. that is why i was so quick to share my personal love for him. he was truly the only thing bringing me happiness in such a depressed part of life. i loved malcolm so much & never would want any one to think my intentions were anything but true. Trump in turn changed his mind about the song and said he deserved to be paid royalties."i just want to apologize to ANYONE that was upset by my post or took it the wrong way. The future president was flattered by the song, although he described the lyrics as "a little hard to understand." Trump hailed Miller as "the new Eminem" - the most famous white rapper.Īfter Trump's surprise political ascent, Miller reversed the message of the song and would vociferously denounce the mogul in concert. In 2011, Miller wrote a song about becoming fabulously wealthy and, seeking a metaphor, entitled the song Donald Trump.
His later work incorporated jazz elements and he was set to tour later this year with Thundercat, the wide-ranging bassist whose music has gone from experimental hip-hop to thrash metal. On his debut album Blue Slide Park, which went to number one on the US sales chart, he introduced himself: "I ain't no hipster / But girl I can make your hips stir."īut Miller gradually tried to evolve from his frat-boy image. His delivery was uber-masculine, with hard-spit lyrics that often graphically described sexual encounters. I want to be able to have good days and bad days," he said.īorn in Pittsburgh, the rapper first found fame releasing music online as a teenager, choosing a minimalist style with heavy beats that harked back to early hip-hop. In an interview published just days before his death, Miller told New York magazine he was trying to tame his negative emotions. He told Rolling Stone when the album came out: "Have I done drugs? Yeah. He addressed both his drug use and his fragile emotional state on his latest album, Swimming, and said he was improving. Miller has been open about his trouble with substance abuse including an addiction to powerful cough syrup - known on the street as purple drank. Mac Miller, the troubled rapper who won fans with his retro hip-hop but generated uncomfortable attention with songs on ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande and Donald Trump, died Friday September 7, 2018, at age 26. Grande, who quickly became engaged to comedian Pete Davidson after splitting with Miller, did not immediately comment on the rapper's death but blocked comments on her Instagram page after a slew of critical remarks. Grande at the time wrote on social media that she had long tried to help Miller become sober but described their relationship as "toxic" and said, "I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be." In May, shortly after their breakup, Miller crashed his car and was charged with driving under the influence. She guest-starred on his 2016 album The Divine Feminine, and a year later Miller - sporting his signature baseball cap above his tattooed neck - welcomed Grande on the airport tarmac when she returned to the United States following the deadly attack on her concert in Manchester. Miller's death comes several months after he ended a high-profile, two-year relationship with pop superstar Grande, who was often seen as the inspiration for his songs. Neither side revealed his cause of death, but the celebrity news site TMZ, which first reported the death, cited unnamed sources as saying he had overdosed on drugs.
His family confirmed his death in a statement, calling the rapper born as Malcolm McCormick "a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans." The artist, who just a month ago released his fifth album whose new maturity and introspection won him once-elusive critical acclaim, was found unresponsive at his Los Angeles home by emergency personnel who pronounced him dead, the coroner's office said. Rapper Mac Miller, who found fame early with his raucous, retro hip-hop but struggled with substance abuse and a painfully public breakup with pop star Ariana Grande, died Friday, officials said.
