I would start with the words of J Cole, he has offered an ear to anyone who is going through anything, he is there and ready to talk to them. Mac Miller died Friday due to an overdose ... TMZ reported this. The same TMZ learned from Law enforcement sources that Miller was found Friday at 12 noon at his San Fernando Valley home and was pronounced dead at the scene. A male placed a 911 call from Miller's home to report the incident.

We all know that Miller's problem did not just begin that day. People go through a lot and it can never just be an end to the story without an introduction to it. Miller has had lack of control with substance abuse ever since his breakup with Ariana Grande. The USD 6m worth rapper wrecked his G-Wagon back in May by hitting it a utility pole and was arrested for driving under intoxication (DUI) and hit and run. He fled the scene but later confessed the crime at his home. He had doubled the legal limit of drugs.

I wonder how people blame Ariana, because, we get left and we do not try to kill ourselves over it. After this arrest, Ariana tweeted, "Pls take care of yourself" and this meant she was very concerned about Miller's substance abuse. In fact, after their breakup, Ariana made it very clear that Miller's substance abuse was the turn off in their 2-year relationship. If you have listened to Mac Miller's 2014 mixtape, "Faces," it was centered on the subject of drug use with citations of premature death here and there. By this death, Mac Miller cut short his wonderful career yet was supposed to start a tour just the next month.

To rappers, go ahead doing drugs like you do, and you will be past tense.
I will not sugar coat it, but it doesn't have to be this bad, am a rapper and I don't even smoke a cigarette.
I love the gesture by our big brother's like J Cole, please if you have a problem, talk to family, talk to people in the society, or reach out to Cole. Am sure other people out there are willing to help.
