"Wish I could say, 'Thank you' to Malcom, 'cause he was an angel."

Mac and Ariana started off as friends and collaborators, but their relationship sparked romance rumors in 2016. The two stayed together until 2018, and Ariana called him one of her "best friends in the world" following their split. Mac sadly passed away of an apparent overdose in September.
