After the news became viral a page on X called Daily Loud posted a tweet about it. Next, Matthew Judon quote-tweeted the post and took an ugly dig at Grande’s writing:
“Absolutely no one cares. Don’t be sad now just because he’s dead it’s your fault.”

Ariana Grande and Mac Miller got involved in a whirlwind romance between 2016 to May 2018.
In September 2018, Mac Miller’s life was cut short at the tender age of 26, due to an accidental drug overdose. As per reports, the young pair called it quits four months before Miller died.
Evidently, after Miller’s death, Grande channeled her grief in her music album ‘Thank U, Next.’
“… if I’m completely honest, I don’t remember those months of my life making the album because I was so drunk and so sad,” Grande said. I don’t really remember how it started or how it finished, or how all of a sudden there were 10 songs on the board.”
“Thank U, Next” was a huge success and it went on to debut on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the singer’s first number-one hit in the United States.
