Mac Miller’s struggle with drug abuse has been documented before. The singer was arrested for a DUI on May 14th after blowing in twice the legal limit, and his drug abuse was cited as one of the reasons that Ariana Grande ended her relationship with the rapper according to TMZ who went into couples rehab Los Angeles.

It’s important also right now to remind our audience that it is wrong to blame Mac Miller’s ex girlfriend Ariana Grande for the rapper’s death, as many online are currently doing. Drug abuse is an illness and not everyone survives it. Blaming a woman for the bad actions of an ex creates only worsens the tragedy.
