Miller, 26, was pronounced dead at 11:51 at his Studio City, California, home, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE. A cause of death is yet to be determined, but a source tells PEOPLE the rapper had gone into cardiac arrest after appearing to suffer a drug overdose. Grande and Miller, who struggled with drugs throughout his life, dated for two years before separating in May. The split came as a shock to fans as Miller raved about the singer on Twitter in April after she released her single “No Tears Left to Cry.” “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!” the singer wrote. Grande’s fans came to her defense on Twitter writing it wasn’t the singer’s fault Miller had died. “Just noticed Ariana Grande disabled comments on her Instagram account after a barrage of Mac Miller-related comments,” one user tweeted. “Recognize the true problem here, rather than using someone else as a scapegoat & continuing the cycle. All so sad & nauseating.” Another shared the same sentiment, tweeting, “The amount of tweets blaming Ariana Grande for what happened to Mac Miller is disgusting, his addiction and lack of help is what drove this to happen, don’t point the finger and blame.” A different fan wrote, “Ariana Grande is not responsible for Mac Miller’s death. Stop hating her. She’s a person like you who also has feelings. I’m sure she’s having a hard time. I wish patience to her and his family.” Early that morning, the rapper was arrested for DUI and hit and run after he struck a power pole in the San Fernando Valley with his Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon and fled the scene; after law enforcement officers matched the vehicle’s license plates to Miller’s address, they arrested him at his home, a Los Angeles Police Department public information officer previously told PEOPLE. Following his arrest, a fan blamed Miller’s crash on Grande tweeted the rapper had “dumped him for another dude after he poured his heart out on a ten song album to her called the divine feminine” and called the album “the most heartbreaking thing happening in Hollywood.” Grande responded directly, tweeting, “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 (just Cinderella is ab me).” Her Twitter statement continued: “I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be. 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 s— together is a very major problem.” The rapper went on to open up about his arrest during a conversation with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 on Apple Music in July. “I made a stupid mistake. I’m a human being,” Miller explained. “But it was the best thing that could have happened. Best thing that could have happened. I needed that. I needed to run into that light pole and literally have the whole thing stop.” However, Miller went on to let all of his fans know that they shouldn’t worry about him, because he was doing fine. 2016 MTV Video Music Awards - Backstage & Audience Mac Miller and Ariana Grande | Credit: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic “I have people that care about me and fans that love my music and it’s a beautiful relationship with them — people who have been with me through being a 19-year-old wide-eyed kid to being a self-destructive depressed drug user to making love music to all these different stages. Then they see something like that and they worry,” he explained. “So your first reaction is, ‘Let me tell them I’m cool.’ ” During the interview, Miller also explained that both he and Grande had moved on since their split — and that he wished her well. “I was in love with somebody. We were together for two years. We worked through good times, bad times, stress and everything else. And then it came to an end and we both moved on. And it’s that simple,” he said. “It’s all positive energy,” he added. “I am happy for her and [the fact that she’s] moving forward with her life, just as I’m sure she is with me.” My Favorite Part Lyrics[Intro: Ariana Grande]I don't know why, I think that he makes me smile[Chorus: Mac Miller]Said, you just don't know how beautiful you areAnd, baby, that's my favorite partYou walk around so clueless to it allLike nobody gonna break your heartIt'll be alright, babe, see, me, I got you coveredI'm gon' be your lover, you might be the oneIf it's only tonight, ayy, we don't need to worryWe ain't in a hurry, rushin' into love[Verse: Mac Miller]Said, you know I know who you really are, ain't need to lieSaid, the universe couldn't keep us apartWhy would it even try?Yeah, said, don't let them hurt you everI know you far too smartBefore things come together, they have to fall apartIt's been a while since I've been soberThis life can be so hard, I'd rather talk about you[Chorus: Mac Miller, Ariana Grande & Both]Said, you just don't know how beautiful you areAnd, baby, that's my favorite part (Oh)You walk around so clueless to it allLike nobody gonna break your heartIt'll be alright, babe, see, me, I got you coveredI'm gon' be your lover, you might be the oneIf it's only tonight, ayy, we don't need to worryWe ain't in a hurry, rushin' into love, yeah, yeah[Bridge: Ariana Grande]If you wanna stay, we're takin' it slow, baby'Cause you want me, and I got enough on my mindBut I can make some time for somethin' so divine, oh, yeah[Chorus: Mac Miller, Ariana Grande & Both]Said, you just don't know how beautiful you are (Yeah)And, baby, that's my favorite part, babyYou walk around so clueless to it allLike nobody gonna break your heartIt'll be alright, babe, see, me, I got you coveredI'm gon' be your lover, you might be the oneIf it's only tonight, ayy, we don't need to worryWe ain't in a hurry, rushin' into loveHow to Format Lyrics:Type out all lyrics, even if it’s a chorus that’s repeated throughout the songThe Section Header button breaks up song sections.

However, in a September 2016 interview with People, Mac said the song had been written beforehand and that working on it together is what led to their close friendship being rekindled. Additionally, after the two split up in May 2018, Ariana revealed that the only song written about her on The Divine Feminine is “Cinderella.”Ask us a question about this songWhat has Mac said about the song? [Ariana and I] hadn’t spoken in a while, ‘cause we’ve been friends forever … I hit her up like, “Yo, I have this song for you.” I was lying, I didn’t have a song yet, but … I knew I wanted her to be apart of this album. … I write this crazy story in my head all the time like, “What’s the next song that we get on together?” There’s even a playlist in my laptop that’s all these beat titles like, “She would sound good on this one,” or “I like this, but it’s not it.” I’m going through, and then the simplest canvas was the one to paint on, you know? I wrote the hook. I stayed up the whole entire night deciding if I wanted to sing or rap. … I don’t even fucking remember what the line is at this point, but I wrote some clever line that I was married to. Finally, I’m like, “I’ll go to sleep. Fuck it.” First thing I do when I wake up is sing that verse, and I sent it to [Ariana] and we set up a studio session. … Watching her write that and sing that was really awesome for me, because I remember us making songs when we were young, and seeing her just command it and be like, “I'ma do this, this, this, this,” and I’m like, “Hell yeah.” You even hear me in the background of the record—she hits this note and you hear the talkback mic of me being like, “Yeah!” I was really into it. via Audience NetworkWere Mac Miller and Ariana Grande dating?Rumors circulated about Mac and Ariana’s dating relationship ever since their duet on “The Way” in 2013.

Follow him on Twitter up for YourTango's free newsletter! Ariana Grande and Mac Miller were once a power couple in the music industry. But where did it all start? Ariana Grande and Mac Miller first interacted via a Twitter exchange. Miller replied to Grande’s tweet, and the conversation led to him asking the singer to collaborate on a song. Following their collaboration, the duo maintained a close friendship which eventually evolved into a romantic relationship that lasted 2 years. Their relationship ended in mid-2018, and Miller sadly passed away shortly after. Explore a timeline of the couple’s relationship below. First Interactions In December 2012, Ariana Grande posted a tweet asking her fans what they were grateful for on Thanksgiving. Watching the parade from the couch all warm and cozy in our apartment. What are you thankful for at the moment? ❤— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) November 22, 2012 The singer asked, “Watching the parade from the couch all warm and cozy in our apartment. What are you thankful for at the moment? ❤” Mac Miller tweeted in response, saying he was thankful for the Velvet Revival, an EP due to be released by his alter ego Larry Lovestein. Grande tweeted back claiming that she was “very excited to listen to it”. Miller went on to ask Grande if she would be down for a collaboration, to which Grande told him to “tell Larry [she’d] love to!”. This led to the duo’s first collaboration during Christmas – a cover of Idina Menzel’s Baby It’s Cold Outside. In an interview with Cambio, Miller spoke fondly of Grande, describing her as an “angel”. He went on to speak about their first musical collaboration. He said, “If you ever interview her… she’ll tell you an awesome story about, like, her label person telling her that she should work with me and her saying, ‘He looks weird.’ But I am weird… she was correct. But she didn’t know that there was a really genuine person.” Miller’s 2013 feature on Grande’s song The Way was hugely successful, with the two flirting and eventually kissing in the music video. Grande spoke about reaching out to Miller for the collaboration to Billboard in 2013. She said, “Mac and I had been hanging out for a while at that point, and I was like, ‘I really want you to feature on this record. What do you think?’ And he said, ‘Sounds like a hit to me!’” However, after the pair’s kiss on the music video sparked dating rumors, Miller was quick to dispel accusations. He told MTV of their relationship, “That’s the homie. She’s got a boyfriend and everything. Obviously, that [kiss] made everyone talk […] we were shooting and the director was like, ‘This should happen,’ and I’m like, ‘Alright.’” They were close friends throughout their own relationships – Grande dated Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez and Jai Brooks before finally going official with Miller in 2016. A Timeline Of The Relationship In August 2016, the two were seen kissing in public after Miller had featured on a remix of Grande’s song Into You. Shortly after, they debuted their romance at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, and Grande later posted a picture of the two cuddling on her Instagram. The couple’s relationship lasted for almost 2 years. However, in May 2018, Grande posted an Instagram story confirming their breakup. She wished him success, saying “I respect and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form…” Miller unfortunately had a series of publicized troubles after the breakup. Grande replied to a fan who implied she was the cause of his spiralling. She tweeted expressing the hardships she endured in attempting to support him and push him towards sobriety. Unfortunately, Miller passed away due to an accidental overdose a few months later, while Grande was engaged to Pete Davidson. Grande has since dedicated various posts to him and has written songs honoring his memory.
