The writer behind a new book on Mac Miller has offered his take on the late rapper’s relationship with pop singer Ariana Grande. Paul Cantor’s book, Most Dope: The Extraordinary Life of Mac Miller, was released today (18 January), a day before Miller would have turned 30. Cantor, an early fan of Miller’s music, spoke to a number of his friends for the project, as well as drawing on his own encounters with Miller before the artist’s death, aged 26, from an accidental overdose in book reportedly avoids any salacious details regarding Miller’s relationship with Grande, but does state that she was “a rock” for Miller through his struggles with substance checked into rehab for around three weeks in 2016, with Grande making several visits to see him during his treatment. RecommendedExtinction Rebellion protesters smash windows at News UK officeAmanda Seyfried still gutted over losing Wicked role to Ariana Grande‘Making money at its finest’: Fans upset over two part Wicked filmGrande apparently grew increasingly concerned for Miller’s safety during their relationship, often calling his friends to learn of his whereabouts when he disappeared. The book also covers how Miller supported Grande after the Manchester Arena bombing at her concert in 2017, performing their duet “The Way” with her at a benefit couple split in early 2018, sparking a media frenzy, particularly after Grande began dating Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson. Grande was later accused by fans of pushing Miller over the edge, prompting her to say that their relationship had grown “toxic” despite her attempts to support him. (Getty Images for MTV)Cantor suggested the media and the public projected how they assumed Miller felt about Grande and Davidson, without knowing the facts.“I think in the moment that they were together, there was definitely a real thing,” he told the Daily Beast. “You can see by the actions explored in the book that it was real. That’s why I don't think, to his credit, he never said anything at all about it, other than it was a relationship that was good while it lasted. He wanted to give it the dignity that it deserves.”He continued: “There was a narrative that was being put out there about his relationship that maybe wasn’t 100 percent accurate. He was becoming a little bit of a tabloid version of himself, and this is not what this guy was about. He’s a really deep human, and put a lot of his life into his work. What's that line, ‘It’s easy to write, you just open up a vein and bleed?’ I mean, he was bleeding, it’s all over his music.”Grande released a lengthy and moving tribute to Miller following his death in 2018, calling him her “dearest friend”.Most Dope has caused some controversy due to pushback from Miller’s family, who refused to be interviewed for it and went so far as to request that his fans avoid it.“This book is not authorised or endorsed by Malcolm’s family and has been written by a writer with whom Malcolm did not have a relationship,” a statement issued last year said. “Furthermore, the writer had no meaningful access to those that were closest to Malcolm – friends, family, collaborators etc. In fact, the writer of this book was made aware at the outset of the process of writing this book that the family and friends of Malcolm were uncomfortable with him authoring this biography, yet he chose to proceed against our polite insistence that he not do disservice to Malcolm’s legacy through writing a book without legitimate primary sources.”Cantor said he had actually received “a lot of support” over the book, “contrary to what was put out there”.“I had a lot of support from people around [Miller],” he said. “Their support, actually, is one of the reasons why I even pursued it. Had they not been supportive from day one, I probably wouldn't have done it. But they were, and that motivated me.”Miller’s posthumous album, Circles, was released in 2020 to critical Twain addresses ex-husband Mutt Lange’s affair in Netflix documentaryLouis Tomlinson accuses TV hosts of stirring up One Direction ‘s***’ during interviewJoey Badass accuses Delta Airlines of damaging $12,000 worth of recording equipmentIf you or someone you know is suffering from drug addiction, you can seek confidential help and support 24-7 from Frank, by calling 0300 123 6600, texting 82111, sending an email or visiting their website the US, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration can be reached at 1-800-662-HELP. It looks like another celebrity couple has called it quits. On Wednesday, TMZ reported Ariana Grande and Mac Miller split up. It appears the two chose to go their separate ways for a reason many celebrity couples are very familiar with — busy schedules. According to sources "close" to the singer and the rapper, they couldn't keep their relationship afloat due to their work. But, there is good news. They are reportedly still "the closest of friends" and still "love each other dearly," per TMZ. Bustle has reached out to reps for Grande and Miller, but didn't receive a response at the time of publication. UPDATE: Grande confirmed the breakup on her Instagram story with a post about how she'll always love him and support him regardless of how their "relationship changes."EARLIER: People also reported Wednesday the "Side To Side" singer and Miller broke up "amicably". Grande also showed up to the 2018 Met Gala solo, which may have been the first clue she was no longer with Miller. The last time they were seen together was in April when the rapper was by Grande's side at posted a photo of the two at the music festival on Instagram on April 21. It shows Miller holding onto the singer while her eyes are closed. They appeared to be very much a couple here. Grande also shared a video taken by Alfredo Flores, which features Miller. Also in April, Miller posted the following tweet in response to the singer announcing her newest single, "No Tears Left To Cry": "very proud of this girl right here [heart emoji] Welcome back. We missed you. One of a kind."Getty Images/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty ImagesGrande and Miller first started dating in 2016 and were together for nearly two years. However, they met way before their relationship turned romantic. While speaking with Cosmopolitan in March 2017, the 24-year-old said, "I met him when I was 19. We have loved and adored and respected each other since the beginning, since before we even met, just because we were fans of each other’s talent."She explained it wasn't the right time for them to be together in the early stages of their friendship, but they truly did admire each other when they weren't dating. "We both needed to experience some things, but the love has been there the whole time," Grande said. "There were times over the years when he would call me and hear that I was stressed or overwhelmed or not doing well, and he would call my mom. There were also times when he was really broken and sad — this was years ago — and I would come take care of him, because we love each other as best friends first and foremost."But, Grande said "the universe" was telling them to date and eventually they September 2016, Miller briefly opened up about dating Grande. Not only did he tell Power The Breakfast Club she was his "dream woman", but, "That is a true thing in my life, she's amazing." He also said, "Just because we are two people who are in love and have a great relationship doesn't mean that I'm gonna get weird about this incredible music that we also make together." He added, "All I'm saying is, 'Yeah we're together, cool.'"Of course, their shippers are reacting strongly:Love Doesn't ExistThe typical reaction upon hearing a celeb couple has split. Nope, Don't Believe ItFans are going to need a statement from them, Seriously HeartbreakingIt's just too much.

Ariana Grande was devastated by how it all ended with Mac had broken up with the Swimming artist months beforehand after their relationship had turned toxic, her desire to be a rock for him in his ongoing battle with substance abuse not able to conquer all. She understandably couldn't bear to watch him go down that destructive road."Unconditional love is not selfish. It is wanting the best for that person even if at the moment, it's not you," Grande wrote in May 2018, her first public comment regarding their breakup. "I can't wait to know and support you forever and I'm so proud of you!!"Instead, Miller was found dead of an accidental overdose Sept. 7, 2018, at the age of 26, leaving Grande to only be able to wish for a chance to tell him in person what he meant to her—as she expressed on her smash-hit "thank u next" and has never stopped expressing, even as she has moved on in her personal life, recently announcing her engagement to Dalton Miller: Life in Pictures"It's pretty all-consuming," she told Vogue in the summer of 2019, referring to the grief she was still processing. "By no means was what we had perfect, but, like, f--k. He was the best person ever, and he didn't deserve the demons he had. I was the glue for such a long time, and I found myself becoming...less and less sticky. The pieces just started to float away."What hasn't floated away is her appreciation for everything she got from her time with Miller, who was born Malcolm McCormick and would have turned 29 today, and what she's learned about herself June 2019, Grande got choked up during a show in his hometown of Pittsburgh when she got to the "wish I could say thank you to Malcolm, 'cause he was an angel" part of "thank u next," Miller's music having also been playing when concertgoers filed into the arena earlier in the Grande and Dalton Gomez's Romance TimelineAfter the 2020 Grammys, where she performed an emotional medley of John Lennon's "Imagine" along with her "7 rings" and "thank u next," she shared several videos to her Instagram Story of her kicking back after her big night. In two of them, the Florida native was wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers shirt, an open nod to Miller's beloved hometown recently as October, fans caught what certainly felt like a Miller reference in the sound of crickets chirping in the background of "Just like Magic" and on the title track of her sixth studio album, positions. A previously unreleased track from Miller called "Crickets" had dropped earlier in the Miller, Ariana GrandeBut her heavenly musical references to the late rapper began with the album thank u next, part of a burst of studio productivity from Grande in the latter half of 2018, during which she was mourning Miller, picking up the pieces following her broken engagement with Peter Davidson and recapturing her sense of self—a journey she has mainly addressed through song."Me and Mac were really close. He was one of my best friends," singer-songwriter Njomza Vitia, who co-wrote "7 Rings," told NPR in February 2019. "So [Ariana and I] were just around each other all the time because of him...So after Mac passed, she was really hurt. I was really hurt. And I think it kind of brought us together a little bit closer because of what we were going through. We could understand each other. She surrounded herself with people who could understand."She continued, "The songs were written really, really fast. From [September to October], it was almost like a song a day...Ideas were just getting shouted out and people were just like adding on with other stuff. It's really cool. It was a lot of really amazing, boss, female energy."2020 Grammy Awards After-Party PicsGrande told Vogue, "I'm a person who's been through a lot and doesn't know what to say about any of it to myself, let alone the world. I see myself onstage as this perfectly polished, great-at-my-job entertainer, and then in situations like this I'm just this little basket-case puddle of figuring it out...I have to be the luckiest girl in the world, and the unluckiest, for sure."She explained, "I'm walking this fine line between healing myself and not letting the things that I've gone through be picked at before I'm ready, and also celebrating the beautiful things that have happened in my life and not feeling scared that they'll be taken away from me because trauma tells me that they will be, you know what I mean?"Retreating to the studio after suffering a loss has always been her way of dealing. "My friends know how much solace music brings me, so I think it was an all-around, let's-get-her-there type situation," Grande told the was what brought her and Miller together in the first place, the pair collaborating on a remix of her song "The Way" together in 2013. Their effortless chemistry in the video translated into real life, though they didn't actually start dating for a couple of subsequently joined Miller on the song (and appeared in the video for) "My Favorite Part," off of his 2016 album The Divine Feminine, featuring him singing, "I know you far too smart / Before things come together, they have to fall apart / It's been a while since I've been sober / This life can be so hard... I'd rather talk about you.""We have loved and adored and respected each other since the beginning, since before we even met, just because we were fans of each other's talent," Grande told Cosmopolitan in 2017. We weren't ready at all, though, to be together. It's just timing. We both needed to experience some things, but the love has been there the whole time."Ariana Grande, Mac Miller, Helicopter, Coachella 2018After Miller died, she wrote in tribute, "i adored you from the day i met you when i was nineteen and i always will. i can't believe you aren't here anymore. i really can't wrap my head around it. we talked about this. so many times. i'm so mad, i'm so sad i don't know what to do. you were my dearest friend. for so long. above anything else. i'm so sorry i couldn't fix or take your pain away. i really wanted to. the kindest, sweetest soul with demons he never deserved. i hope you're okay now. rest."She was still engaged to Davidson at the time after a whirlwind courtship that had him ring shopping weeks after their first date, but she broke it off about six weeks after Miller source told E! News at the time that she was "truly hurting from the death of Mac and feels very overwhelmed with her life right now...She's been battling her feelings and knows that she needs to take time for herself."On his podcast The Shane Show after his friend's death, Shane Powers acknowledged how much Grande—who was unfairly accused by merciless online critics of dropping Miller in his time of need when they broke up and he was arrested weeks later for leaving the scene of a suspected DUI crash—tried to help him."Ariana and him were together and they were very much in love," Power recalled. "And I have to say, she was incredible when he was first sobering up. She was a f--king G to him. There could not have been anybody more supportive of him being sober than Ariana. I saw that, I was around it. I took phone calls from her, 'How do I help? What do I do?' This little girl was unbelievably involved and helpful to him being healthy. Because whether he's an addict or not, the way that Mac partied was not healthy."But theirs was a relationship that changed both their lives, despite Grande being the only one left to unpack what they had and what it told Beats 1 host Zane Lowe in an interview a few weeks before his critically acclaimed Swimming came out Aug. 3, 2018, "I was in love with somebody. 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?"At the time she was with someone new, and that was "strange," he admitted, but "I am happy for her and moving forward with her life, just as I'm sure she is with me."Grande has been able to move forward, but she has also made sure to honor her time with Miller and his legacy as an Deaths: 2021's Fallen Stars"Nothing mattered more to him than music ever," she told Lowe last May on Beats 1, sitting down for an Apple Music special (from home, due to the pandemic) during which she had the team spin Miller's "What's the Use?" and "Blue World.""He was the kind of person who woke up and rolled into the studio, like tumbled out of bed into the studio next door. Nothing was more important," Grande said. "Talk about losing track of time and forgetting to eat, remind yourself to take care of yourself and be a person. He was a person who gave literally every single second of his thoughts and time and life to music. And I think that is so evident in what he has left us with and just how many incredible and different bodies of work, everything from Blue Slide Park, to all the way through Divine Feminine, to Swimming, to Circles, to everything in between."It's just such a beautiful gift that he kind of touched the world with, and I think the thing he'd want most is for us to just appreciate it and not forget about it." Mac Miller and Ariana Grande dated for nearly two years, with Grande announcing the pair's split in May. They originally met as musical collaborators before forming a deep friendship and eventually dating, attending various events and being generally adorable on social media before breaking up. The two remained supportive of each other in the press before Miller tragically passed away last week at the age of 26. In remembrance, Grande used social media to share a photo of the late rapper after his death. Scroll through for a timeline of the pair's relationship over the years. Collaborators After connecting on Twitter in 2012, the duo teamed up for a rendition of the holiday classic "Baby It's Cold Outside" before Miller joined Grande on her 2013 single "The Way." The music video for the song saw the two lock lips, which fueled speculation about their relationship. "That's the homie. She's got a boyfriend and everything," Miller told MTV News at the time. "Obviously, that [kiss] made everyone talk. I didn't even know that was going to happen and then we were shooting and the director was like, 'This should happen,' and I'm like, 'Alright.'" prevnext Going public Three years later, Grande and Miller took things public at the 2016 MTV VMAs, with Grande telling Charlamagne Tha God in a pre-show interview that she would send Miller the host's regards.

"There was no awkwardness or weirdness, it was how it always was," Miller continued. "Just both of us older, more mature and more sure of ourselves. When we first recorded together we were young and figuring it out, which we still are, but now seeing her growth and my growth — it's great.. We hung out for a long time and everything just happened organically. We love making music together – we do that always. But she's my best friend in the world." prevnext By her side In May 2017, Grande's concert in Manchester was targeted by a bomber who killed 22 people.

"This is one of my best friends in the whole world and favorite people on the planet," she wrote next to a photo of herself and Miller. "I respect and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form, at all times regardless of how our relationship changes or what the universe holds for each of us!" "Unconditional love is not selfish," the singer continued. "It is wanting the best for that person even if at the moment, it's not you. I can't wait to know and support you forever and i'm so proud of you!" prevnext Not to blame After the couple split, Grande clapped back when a social media user suggested she was to blame for Miller's May car accident and subsequent DUI arrest. "I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be," she shared on Twitter. "I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man's inability to keep his shit together is a very major problem." "Let's please stop doing that," she continued. "Of course I didn't share about how hard or scary it was while it was happening, but it was. I will continue to pray from the bottom of my heart that he figures it all out and that any other woman in this position does as well." prevnext A tribute Miller tragically passed away from an overdose on Sept. 7, and one day later, Grande used Instagram to post a black-and-white photo of Miller sitting on the grass looking up at the camera, presumably held by Grande. 0commentsThe singer offered no caption alongside the post, letting the image speak for itself.
