The world watched on a-gasp last week when it was announced that rapper Mac Miller died of an apparent drug overdose – aged just 26.
Though respected in his field, star was thrust into mass consciousness upon embarking on a romantic relationship with longtime friend Ariana Grande.
The pair went their separate ways earlier this year and the superstar songbird moved on and became engaged to comedian Pete Davidson.
Still, many have been waiting to hear what she had to say about her former lover.
After sharing an un-captioned image of Mac the day after his demise, Grande has issued an emotional statement expressing her heartache.
Her words below…
Via Ariana Grande:
i adored you from the day i met you when i was nineteen and i always will. i can’t believe you aren’t here anymore. i really can’t wrap my head around it. we talked about this. so many times. i’m so mad, i’m so sad i don’t know what to do. you were my dearest friend. for so long. above anything else. i’m so sorry i couldn’t fix or take your pain away. i really wanted to. the kindest, sweetest soul with demons he never deserved. i hope you’re okay now. rest.

Who cares about anything she has going on with Mac Miller/ whoever her new date is!!
This girl is so fake. She even used the “sweetner” typing method (never uppercases). This girl will use any tradgedy to gain sympathy and promote herself. Watch out for this monster. I see right past her
Oop
What happened to the day when people… grieved? why does everything have to be public? Why do you have to let people know that you are sad? Why an open letter? Because you want the public to see how “hurt” you are. Girl GOOOO
You really can never satisfy everyone. You probably also would’ve ran your mouth if she had stayed silent. Girl bye.
y’all mad if she doesn’t say anything.
y’all mad if she says anything.
let her be. damn.
I don’t even Stan for her like that – But Ariana Grande did not event social media or influence society to start using social media to overshare their every feeling, thought and waking moment. This is a societal phenomenon and she is simply doing what everybody else online is doing. So before you try shoot the messenger why don’t you WAKE UP and learn the facts of today’s society instead of hating on someone who’s grieving.
2017 Has been tragic for this girl. BREATHIN is her most beautiful song, never felt her until i heard it……all you hating ass clowns take a listen…..
Agreed. Just a beautiful song.
Hate her if you will – but this girl like countless others before is being forced to grow up fast in the public eye in the wake of these tragedies. Breathing indeed made me look at her differently because unlike ‘Problem‘ or ‘Bang Bang‘ it actually has real meaning and you can feel that.
