Ariana Grande Just Posted a Tribute to Ex-Boyfriend Mac Miller Following His Death
Ariana Grande mourned the death of her ex-boyfriend rapper Mac Miller on Instagram, one day after Miller died of an “apparent overdose,”, per Variety, on Friday. The post features a black-and-white photo of Miller that Grande appears to have taken. (What looks like her shoes can be seen at the bottom of the frame.) Poignantly, she didn’t include a caption.
Grande and Miller ended their relationship in May after nearly two years of dating. Earlier this year, Grande had said she was “grateful to have him” in her life but cited issues with Miller’s sobriety as a contributing factor to their eventual breakup, calling the romance “toxic.”
While most fans paid respect on social media to the late rapper, some seemed to place blame on Grande, as headlines referenced her in news of his death, while others posted articles examining their relationship. In response, Grande shut off her Instagram comments due to the torrent of abuse aimed at her.
In a radio interview in July, Miller spoke out about their relationship: “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, you know?”
