“I think that nothing mattered more to him than music, ever. And he was the kind of person who woke up and rolled into the studio, tumbled out of bed, into the studio next door. Nothing was more important,” she said of Mac, who sadly died in 2018.
“Talk about losing track of time and forgetting to eat, [having to] remind yourself to take care of yourself and be a person. He was a person who gave literally every single second of his thought and time and life to his music,” she went on to say.
“I think that’s so evident in what he’s left us with and just how many incredible and different bodies of work, everything from Blue Slide Park, K.I.D.S, to all the way through Divine Feminine, to Swimming, to Circles, to everything in between. It’s just such a beautiful gift, I think, that he kind of touched the world with. I think the thing he’d want most is for us to just appreciate it and not forget about it.”

During a sit down interview with rapper Charlamagne The God, the 26-year-old Saturday Night Live cast member talked about how the death of Mac Miller affected his relationship with his now ex-fiancee.
“I totally got it,” Pete said about Ariana publicly grieving over Mac‘s death. “She would even tell you this. I was like, ‘Listen, I get it, do whatever you’ve got to do, I’ll be here.’ I think I said, ‘I’ll be here until you don’t want me to be here.’”
Mac died at the age of 26 in September 2018 due to an accidental drug overdose. Pete went on to admit that he knew his relationship with Ariana was over after Mac‘s death.
“I pretty much knew it was around over after that,” Pete continued. “That was really horrible, and I can’t imagine what that s–t is like. All I do know is that she really loved the s–t out of him, and she wasn’t putting on a show or anything. That was f–ked up. Prayers to his family and all of his friends.”
Pete and Ariana first started dating in May 2018, just a few weeks after it was revealed that she and Mac had ended their two year relationship.
About a month later, Pete proposed to Ariana and less than two months after Mac‘s death, Ariana and Pete had split.
The late rapper’s sixth and final studio album was released on Friday (January 17).
Conceived as a sister album to 2018′s Swimming, Circles was completed with the assistance of producer Jon Brion, with whom Mac worked on Swimming. They had been working together on Circles at the time of his untimely passing.
