Vince Staples has taken to social media to try and process the loss of his friend and past collaborator, Mac Miller.
At 26-years-old, Miller’s death has been mourned by celebrities and fans around the world, praising the rapper for the genius he held at such a young age.
Vince Staples began by simply tweeting “Stolen Youth,” a reference to the mixtape he made with Miller, who was operating under his production pseudonym Larry Fisherman, back in 2013.
