“I feel like he’s always got a vision. He’s a monster of his craft,” he said. “It’s pretty simple for me with Mac. I really love him a lot.”

And just yesterday, Miller shared his last Instagram post, which was a photo of himself covering his face and looking into the camera with one eyeball. In the caption, Miller directed his legion of followers to an interview that he just did with Vulture. In the tell-all interview, Mac dished on a number of topics, including the pressures that he faces because as a celebrity.

“There’s pressure. A lot of times in my life I’ve put this pressure to hold myself to the standard of whatever I thought I was supposed to be, or how I was supposed to be perceived. And that creates pressure … It’s annoying to be out and have someone come up to me and think they know. They’re like ‘Yo, man, are you okay?’ “

But, at the end of the day, Miller did note that this is what he signed up for, so you have to try and not worry about the outside noise.

Rest in peace, Mac.
