While the world mourns the loss of legendary rapper Mac Miller, Tana Mongeau and Julia Kelly remember him fondly.
Although Mac Miller was only 26-years-old he made a lasting impression on many of his peers including Tana Mongeau and Julia Kelly. That was evident from the immediate outpouring of love and support once the news broke that the rapper had passed away. Singer Kehlani echoed the sentiments of many that this is one wound that time might not be able to heal.

Instead of being allowed to properly mourn the loss of a friend, the 20-year-old influencer was met with unnecessary backlash.

The singer addressed the hate via Twitter.
AN AFFAIR? fuck you Michael. it's insane that you would ever come for me for telling the world how much i loved that man. i always have. just when i thought you couldn't get any worse..you're projecting anger bc you're upset that i know you're a fucking pedophile..work on that

But Tana continued to push forward despite her grief and the harsh criticsm.
Much like Tana, fellow social media star Julia Kelly was devastated when she heard the news.
My heart is shattered. I loved him.

She chose to celebrate his memory and focus on the positive moments as well. She shared a video of the talented musician playing a song on the piano, a photo of the two, and a conversation that sparked a budding romance between them.
It’s clear that Mac Miller will be remembered fondly by all who loved him not only as a legendary musician, but a kind soul and an amazing person.
Nobody has a bad Mac Miller story. Not a one.
