Yelawolf Remembers Mac Miller And What He Did Following Star’s Passing

As fans and celebrities alike continue to remember the talent of Mac Miller and his passing, Yelawolf  has made a heartwarming revelation about his late friend. He claimed that following Mac Miller’s passing, he donated more than $100,000 worth of apparel. In 2018, Miller passed away due to an inadvertent overdose of cocaine, fentanyl, and alcohol. He was only twenty-six. During an appearance on the Bootleg Kev Podcast last weekend, Yelawolf discussed his grieving process. He then talked more generally about their relationship and how the two met at an XXL event.

“I love Mac, man. Mac is the best, dude. I love Mac so much. When Mac passed, dude, I was so hurt from that that I gave away everything I own. That’s a true story. I gave away every article of clothing that I own when Mac passed, the next day. Just ’cause I felt like I needed to do something nice. No one really knew how cool he and I really were ’cause we didn’t do music. When we first kicked it, it was the cypher. It wasn’t even a cypher, it was like a freestyle for the XXL cover. So everybody did a verse. And Mac, dude, he might have been, God, 19? I mean, he was young, young.”

“And I pull a cigarette out and we were chilling. He’s lit. He’s like, ‘Oh, that’s what we’re doing?’ He pulled a cigarette out, he fucking lit a cigarette up. And it was a very affectionate, almost an instant big brother role. Like, ‘Alright, dude. Let’s go. I see you.’”  “He went on to make incredible music, obviously. We’ve done tours together, dude. I’ve done shows with Mac in the Swiss Alps, bro. That was my homie, man. When he passed, I had just text him weeks before. Just tapping in, you know what I mean?”
