Ariana Grande's ex-boyfriend, rapper Mac Miller dead at 26 from an Overdose

Ariana Grande's ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller died on Friday, aged just 26.

The rapper, real name Malcolm James McCormick, was was found at around noon at his San Fernando Valley home and was pronounced dead at the scene following an apparent drug overdose, TMZ reports.


Mac had been having trouble with substance abuse recently following his break up from Ariana.


His most recent album, Swimming, was just released on August 3 and was due to go on tour next month.

On Thursday night, Mac had posted a video of a record player with a song from one of his albums playing.

In his last post on Twitter, he told his followers: "I just wanna go on tour."

There were also references to premature death.

Speaking about it, he once told Vulture: "I used to rap super openly about really dark shit."

Mac also opened up about how the public perceived him.

He said: "You know what’s funny? I feel like the public perception of me varies on who you ask. But there’s a bit of a freedom in knowing that people are going to think all types of s**t, no matter what.

"It actually makes me less stressed about how my actions are perceived. It’s out of my control. I mean, to a degree … I could control it.

"I could live this squeaky clean life and everything. I could try to control the media. But I’ve been finding freedom in just living and letting people say whatever the f**k they want."

Mac had been dating Ariana when her concert in Manchester was targeted by a suicide bomber last year, when 22 of her fans were killed.

He supported her through the tragedy and returned to the city with her for her One Love Manchester fundraising concert.

Mac took to the stage with Ariana to perform duet The Way and Dang!

The social network madness

Image
Just a few years back, in the year 1999 Nigeria experienced a change in the telecommunication  sector with the introduction of the GSM phone which I call "general street madness". These days, it is not just about having a Nokia 3310 or a Sagem phone which enables you to make calls and send text messages only it's all about the blackberry, android phones etc there is one thing common with these phones it enables one to go to any networking site as much as they want to.                                             In Nigeria, people use the social network for different reasons some use it to voice out their anger against certain government policies, some use it to air their views about certain  issues, some use it to share their pictures with their family and friends while some have taken advantage of the social network to bare their dirty minds and upload disgusting pictures of them selves.  What will one make out of this picture of a 49 years old woman by the names miss ke

Amnesty or Punishment

When there is a crime, the first thing to do is to attend to the victims of the  crime and help them in any way you can then go after the criminals, when the criminal are eventually caught the next line of action is either to punish them or forgive them but off course forgiving them will mean they are sober and feel sorry for the crime they have committed and willing to make amends. When it comes to the issue of Boko Haram, The Nigerian government and The Nigerian citizens its a completely different scenario the government has left the victims of BH unattended to, they are still yet to catch the members of the BH sect who at the perpetrators of this disastrous act called suicide bombing which has brought pain to a lot of Nigerians a lot o people, especially those in the North are grieving over the loss of their loved ones and the loss of  properties  not much has been done by the government to help rehabilitate the victims while some of the Northern elites like the Sultan, Nasir El ruf

Aretha Franklin: The Style Icon and Fashionista

Image
Aretha Franklin  died on thursday  at her home in Detroit, the Queen of Soul was 76 years old. With a successful carreer spanning over six decades, her fashion and style can be said to be just as magnificent and iconic as her voice Franklin’s style was extravagant, lavish, and befitting of a superstar. Although one of Franklin’s sartorial choices may not be as popular today — she loved wearing fur. She often wore luxurious fur coats on and off the stage, with intricately embroidered dresses threaded with beads and feathers. Franklin had a penchant for regal jewelry, too: statement jewel earrings, emerald rings, and pearl necklaces. The “Natural Woman” singer was unafraid of bold, bright colors, loud, statement prints, and elaborate hair and makeup looks. In the ‘60s, Franklin often wore beehive hairdos and glossy, nude lips with maxi-length embroidered dresses and caftans. During the ‘70s, she embraced the era’s “flower power” aesthetic, on one occasion in 1975 wearing a dress

'Game Of Thrones' Season 8 Release Date Might Be Later Than We Thought

Image
Winter is coming ... with a little bit of a delay. Earlier this year, rumor had it that “Game of Thrones” Season 8 would begin airing sometime in April 2019. The gossip started with a quote Maisie Williams allegedly gave Metro in the U.K., which she later denied. Still, fans hopped on the date and rally around it to this day. And, hey, a release earlier in the year makes sense. HBO’s president of programming, Casey Bloys, said the show would be premiering in the first half of 2019. And in order to qualify for the Emmy Awards in ’19, a series must air between June 1, 2018, and May 31, 2019. So if HBO wanted the final season of “Game of Thrones” to be considered in the next Emmys, it would have to air before the end of May. Alas, I’m here to tell you, our April watch has ended. 'Game Of Thrones' Season 8 Release Date Might Be Later Than We Thought: Exclusive HuffPost Bill Bradley HuffPostAugust 25, 2018 Waiting and watching. Waiting to watch. (HBO)View photos
