Ariana Grande first publically reacted to the passing of her ex Mac Miller, who died last week of a suspected drug overdose, with a simple Instagram photo.

This afternoon, she finally opened up on social media with some words and an old video.

While some folks online blamed Ariana -- who became engaged to Pete Davidson not long after breaking up with Mac -- for Miller's death, those close to the two of them have said that Grande was nothing but a great influence on Miller's tragically short life.
