Yesterday, September 7, 2018, Mac Miller passed away from an apparent drug overdose. Immediately following the news there was an outpouring emotion around the rapper's passing. Unfortunately, many news sources used his recent break up with vocalist Ariana Grande as a talking point in the artist's death.
The two dated for quite a while before their very public break-up. A general misunderstanding addiction and unfortunate sexism drove many outlets to place part the blame from the artist's overdose on Grande.
