Mac Miller’s Long Time Friend Had This to Say About Ariana Grande

Rapper Mac Miller passed away this month at the age of 26 from a drug overdose and many people ran to blame his ex-girlfriend pop star Ariana Grande for his death.

Grande had to disable comments on her social media due to the harsh backlash she was getting following his death.

One person is standing up for Grande and that’s Mac Miller’s long time pal Shane Powers.

Powers said in the latest episode of his podcast, “The Shane Show,” that Grande was a very helpful person in Miller’s sobriety journey. He remarked that the “Dangerous Woman” singer was “unbelievably involved and helpful.”

“[Mac and Ariana] were very much in love and I have to say, she was incredible when he was first sobering up,” Powers said. “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.”

“Whether he’s an addict or not, the way that Mac partied was not healthy,” Powers explained.

“[And] there was no one in his life more ready to go to the wall for him when it came to him being sober. [Ariana] was an unbelievably stabilizing force in his life and she was deeply helpful and effective in keeping Mac sober and helping him get sober. She was all about him being healthy. Period.”

Grand and Miller had broken up in early May after almost two years of dating.

Grande has moved on and is now engaged to Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson. She has not said anything about Miller’s death but posted a picture of him onto her Instagram with no caption.
