As Mac Miller prepares to release the SWIMMING LP, he’s back to making the press rounds. In a new interview with Beats 1 host Zane Lowe, the Pittsburgh-bred artist opened up about his relationship with pop princess Ariana Grande.
“You know, like, I was in love with somebody,” he said. “We were together for two years. We worked through good times, bad times, stress and everything else. And then it came to an end and we both moved on. And it’s that simple, you know.”
When the topic of Grande’s recent engagement to SNL actor Pete Davidson and the craziness that ensued online came up, Mac took the high road.
“It’s strange,” he said. “Like, the whole thing is a little strange but it’s not negative. It’s just a part of something that’s going to continue to help make me who I am. You know, it’s all positive energy. I am happy for her and moving forward with her life just as I’m sure she is with me.” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Elsewhere in the interview, Miller talked about the night he was arrested for a DUI. While driving in the San Fernando Valley, he crashed his Mercedes into a light pole and was taken into custody.
“What you don’t understand is that I lived a certain life for 10 years and faced almost no real consequence at all,” he said. “I had no version of the story that didn’t end up with me being fine. Yeah, I made a stupid mistake. I’m a human being. Like, I drove home drunk. But it was the best thing that could have happened… I needed that.”
“I needed to run into that light pole and literally, like, have the whole thing stop.”
Grande and Miller broke up in May and was engaged to SNL actor Pete Davidson less than a month later.
SWIMMING is expected to arrive on August 3.

Mac Miller probably isn’t going to like this. Weeks after his split with Ariana Grande, the 24-year-old pop star is reportedly engaged to SNL actor Pete Davidson.
A source close to the couple told People magazine, “It’s a recent engagement. They’re just two people who found love quickly and make each other happy all the time. They both started talking about it this past weekend. It’s nothing they’ve been hiding.”
In a since-deleted tweet, Grande reportedly posted an emoji-filled message shortly after the news went public on Monday (June 11).
“I love you,” she wrote. “sm. ok bye.”
Miller and Grande broke up early last month after roughly a year-and-a-half of dating. In a Twitter post, the singer insinuated Miller’s struggle with substance abuse was partly to blame.
“I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man’s inability to keep his shit together is a very major problem,” she wrote. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Grande’s revelations came shortly after the Divine Feminine rapper was arrested for a DUI.
Her taste in men seems to be getting progressively worse
Nah she jus realized funny man is better than bum ass rappers

She should be alone for a yeae and analyze her love choices good luck!
haha she played miller, was fucking Pete the whole time for Pete’s sake. So who’s really the Mack? ???
Petey tied her down because he doesn’t want the first girl who’s paid attention to him to leave.
You’re dead gringo.
Married at 24? lol R.I.P.
She’s scared of being alone with self. I called it with Sean, and Mac, though Macs lasted longer than I predicted. And Kyle, jus bc she decided to quick pay the cooch don’t mean Mac isn’t going to be happy. Remember this Kyle, for every bad chick, there’s a dude out there tired of hitting it 😉
Nah Petey tied her down because she’s the first girl who’s paid attention to him.
Oh no. Now you’re gonna talk about how Scott and Ariana are gonna kill all the Palestinians or be part of some agenda for white genocide or some other shit about Zionists? FOHWTBS!
People magazine? Really hhdx? Y’all trash af
Hey HHDX, if y’all just gonna copy and paste articles from gossip magazines, then just go work for them since you can’t seem to make original articles anymore.

This hollywood shit is really a fuck fest ! Somehow anybody had been engaged or fucked everybody ! No wonder why all these celebrities turn crazy when they pass 40 ! It’s not because of the so-called middle age crisis but merely cause their stupidity is hittin their conscience back SMH
Strange behavior
This guy reminds me of that retard that hosts bong appetit on Viceland.
You mean Abdullah Saeed? Who’s Pakistani?
I don’t know what his name is, just that he’s a retard
Well, that’s his name and he’s not mentally retarded he’s just high all the time. Along with that he looks nothing like Davidson.
Jeez Mariah no need to be so racist about it.
DAmn, I thought this girl was gonna be this generations Mariah, now she kinda the new slutty over-sexualised popstar, with average sounding chart hits and jumping from boyfriend to boyfriend every 5/6 months. Hollywood really is a fuckfest for these young stars. There’s still hope as she’s successful and got better vocals than all her peers, but i’m not holding my breath,
Just another THOT at the end of the day
u keep exposing these rat faced he.ebs alright
Damn she hops on any dick quick. Is this a real engagement or album promotion
Dafuc this has to do with hip hop?
Plot twist: She practices Kabbalah.
I don’t know anyone that cares about this guy. This must be a white thing.
Ya mammy cares about this guy, and his “white chocolate” as she puts it.
Fuck this bitch! Skinny bitch with the deepest pusyy, big sean drowned in this shit
I would Eat Ariana Grandes Pussy and Her Ass All Day.. dammm
You’re an Idiot I don’t know if you think you’re comment makes you look cool? Or Tough?. But One thing it does make you look like a person who’s parents failed to teach you how to speak with respect. Or even better grow up. I’m surprised you’re online being a moron since I thought they had limited internet in public schools for grade 6’s. Lastly Mac Miller is a good artist and you’ll never make what he makes and you’ll never get a girl like he got. So you hating is kind of pointless and makes you look like a tool.
Not a fan of his and to be honest I never thought about investing time to even give his music a shot but Leave the man alone, he’s young, got a strong fan base and rich so none of y’all would know how it feels like till you’re in his shoes… we all make mistakes and he admits to it so go get a life and stop hatin’
Yo this the same clown that gave the Carters a 5. No wonder its gossip trash.
