Rapper Mac Miller Dead at 26
Mac Miller, real name Malcolm McCormick, has died, reports TMZ. He was 26.
The rapper, who recently dated Ariana Grande, passed away from an apparent overdose. Law enforcement sources say he was discovered dead at his home in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley.
A friend reportedly found Miller around noon and called 911.
On Thursday night, he shared a haunting video on his Instagram Story of a record player that included his song "So it Goes." The section he posted was the refrain, but the song also features lyrics like, "Nine lives, never, die, f-ck a heaven, I'm still gettin' high." See the video here.
Weeks after his split with Ariana in May, Miller allegedly drove into a utility pole with his G-Wagon and was arrested for DUI and hit and run.
At the time, Grande tweeted, "Pls take care of yourself."
Last month, Miller released his latest album “Swimming,” and a music video for the song “Self Care.”
Mac spends most of the video smoking a cigarette inside a wooden box. Eventually, he punches his way out and emerges from a mound of dirt. Watch the video here.
Miller was set to go on tour in October.
