Social media has reacted with an outpouring of grief as friends and fellow musicians mourn for Mac Miller, after the 26-year-old rapper died earlier today of a suspected overdose.

Miller, who released his fifth album Swimming in August of this year, was widely loved in the music industry, as evidenced in the highly emotional tributes.

Close friend Chance The Rapper was one of the first to speak out, reflecting on the impact that his friendship with Miller had on his life, saying:

“I don’t know what to say Mac Miller took me on my second tour ever. But beyond helping me launch my career he was one of the sweetest guys I ever knew. Great man. I loved him for real. I’m completely broken. God bless him. It’s so crazy cause Earl literally hit me up this morning him and Vince were real [friends] I met at a pivotal time in my life through Mac. This shit hurts so bad. If you love someone male sure u tell em.”

Numerous others paid their respects, including Khalid, Missy Elliott, Solange, Shawn Mendes, Bebe Rexha, Charlie Puth, John Mayer and Post Malone.

Mac Miller, otherwise known as Malcolm James McCormick, recently ended a two-year relationship with singer Ariana Grande.

Following their breakup, Grande made a statement saying she had “tried to support his sobriety” and was hoping it would “[figure] it all out.”
