Miller, whose full name is Malcolm McCormick, suffered from depression and substance abuse. He recently spoke of getting sober, and his fame was cited as a contributing factor to his depression, he told Larry King in an interview in 2015.

Miller had strong views on overdosing, something that he apparently condemned.

“I’d rather be the corny white rapper than the drugged-out mess that can’t even get out of his house. Overdosing is just not cool. There’s no legendary romance. You don’t go down in history because you overdosed. You just die.”

Tributes have poured from fans and celebrities alike, to mourn the death and celebrate the life of the talented rapper.
