GoldLink took to Instagram to share a post about Mac Miller that has garnered a lot of backlash. In the post, GoldLink addressed Mac's death, which he said he wasn't surprised about, and he went on to speak about the ups and downs of their friendship.
He started out by writing, "I’d be lying if I said I was surprised to hear that you died on us. Not because you were necessarily troubled, but because you were special and because of that, you were troubled." GoldLink then added that they "weren’t always on the best terms," but he went on to call Mac "family." He also noted similarities between Mac's 2016 album The Divine Feminine and his 2015 project And After That, We Didn't Talk.
"I always thought you drove yourself insane about your own music. So much that, you would adopt styles as homage to those around you that you loved. That’s where our problem started. Divine Feminine was an actual blueprint of And After That, We Didn't Talk. Your single was called 'Dang!' Ft. Anderson Paak...you had Souelction support you on the Divine Feminine tour and when I tried to contact you, about anything at all...you never hit me. A close mutual friend ended up just hittin’ my DJ saying 'listen man, we love Link, but we just had to do what we had to do.'"
