"In addition to helping launch my career, he was one of the nicest guys I've ever met," Chance the Rapper wrote among many other tweets.

The American rapper Mac Miller was found dead at home at the age of 26. The death was confirmed by his family in a statement.

Ariana Grande's former boyfriend is said to have succumbed to an overdose at her home in San Fernando, California on Friday, Sept. 7, police sources report to several media outlets, including The Hollywood Reporter. An untimely death at the age of only 26 years old.

The singer had gained a worldwide celebrity in the headlines with his drug problems, his affair with pop star Ariana Grande, and several hits, including one dedicated to Donald Trump, before he became president.

As the sites TMZ and Variety indicate, the interpreter of Donald Trump had drug problems and had opened, especially since his break with the singer Ariana Grande last May. In a documentary released in 2016, Mac Miller made no secret of his addictions, recalls the Hollywood Reporter : "I get high, let's be clear. I get high to death, again, all the time. It will never stop. But I control my life. ". Mac Miller, whose real name was Malcolm James McCormick, had problems with drug addiction , "Have I used drugs? Yes. But am I an addict? No, " he told Rolling Stone magazine .

The young man has never hidden from his addictions to drugs and alcohol, admitting to Complex magazine an addiction to a drug mix of codeine and promethazine that rappers call "lean " or "purple drank"

The rapper was also arrested at this time for drunk driving after a traffic accident. Her ex-girlfriend tweeted, "Please, take care of yourself . "

But this dependence had consumed the rupture of her relationship with Ariana Grande as she had not hidden it. On Twitter, she said last May that she had "tried to support her sobriety and prayed for her balance for years," adding , "I'm not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that she must be. In duet with her, he had signed a worldwide success, "My Favorite Part"

He was above all an atypical rapper with his retro and sometimes psychedelic hip-hop and his social background, a photographer mother and an architect father. He had grown up in a middle-class neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even if Mac Miller uses all the gansta hardware, for example using the word "bitch" galore, he describes himself as "a son to mom" , who found his balance thanks to the love of women. "I do not know the story of other rappers' relationships with women, but with my grandmother, my mother, my girlfriends, I can be vulnerable, just myself. "

And it was at the age of 14 that he started rapping, according to the Complex website. A gifted, self-taught and versatile musician, he plays several instruments and in 2011, his debut album, Blue Side Park, rose to the top of hip-hop album sales. His songs offer a minimalist sound with a powerful rhythm reminiscent of the rap of the 80s His song about Donald Trump, seen tens of millions of times, made him known to all Americans, when he was not even 20 years old. His latest album Swimming was released last August when he reached # 3 on the US Billboard charts.

Mac Miller was preparing to go on tour in the United States after the release of his most recent album, Swimming.

A tour that was to start at the end of October.

It was scheduled to begin October 27 in San Francisco. "I just want to go on tour, " he tweeted Thursday. The show is going to be special every night. I wish it starts tomorrow. "

The trial of the two rivals takes place in the excitement. The hearing takes place in the usual room reserved for the assizes, under strong police protection, fully full.

, The president has banned journalists from reporting the trial live on social networks. The first hours of hearing were marked by a false start, for lack of interpreter for one of the defendants.

Faced with the investigators, the two former accomplices who became rivals had played the card of "legitimate defense" to justify their bloody August 1st. That day, they have to take the same plane to Barcelona where they are each expected on stage that night, in two separate clubs.

Appraisal: a few minor injuries, several flights delayed and more than 50'000 euros of injury. Aéroports de Paris, Air France and the owner of the shop complained.

According to the police, the video surveillance of the airport shows that Booba carried the first blow. But in custody, the rapper claimed to have received a projectile while he was trying to "get around" Kaaris. "Then it's gone," he told the investigators.

Kaaris brought insults, which targeted him, his wife and daughter, and preceded the beatings.

Called to the bar right after, Booba plays down . "On videos, it's the valve. Even politicians win over each other. At about 8 pm, the proceedings continued in court.

The judgment could be rendered in the night. The two rappers and their relatives are sentenced to ten years in prison.

JOHNNY HALLYDAY

MON PAYS C'EST L'AMOUR

Voici le titre de l’album posthume de Johnny Hallyday:

"Mon pays c'est l'amour".

Les fans de Johnny l'attendaient avec impatience.

C’est le choix de Laeticia, sa veuve et ancienne directrice artistique.

Le Taulier avait enregistré les titres quelques mois avant sa mort. Pourquoi ce titre « Mon pays c’est l’amour » ?

Déjà pour beaucoup de fans de Johnny Hallyday, il s’agit encore d’un coup pour discréditer les ainés du rockeur, David Hallyday et Laura Smet.

Le titre de l' album posthume de Johnny Hallyday serait-il une pique que Laeticia a dédié à David Hallyday et Laura Smet alors en plein procès contre les aînés du rockeur. Va-t-il plaire à Laura et David ?

Que ces derniers aient contesté le testament de leur père de droit américain on peut le comprendre car ce droit, au contraire du droit français, permet de déshériter ses enfants.

Que signifie « mon pays » dans ce titre ?

La France, les États-Unis ?

St-Barth ?

« Ce disque, c'est clairement celui de Laeticia et de Johnny, peut-on lire dans le magazine Public.

Déjà, il a fait tenir Johnny pendant son cancer. Après sa tournée des Vieilles Canailles.

Il s’est jeté à corps perdu dans ce projet et il l’a terminé la rage au ventre. Laeticia a suivi chaque étape de la création et a passé tout son temps à le conduire à terme. » peut-on lire dans Public

Qui sait ?

Pour beaucoup de fans, Laeticia Hallyday et le clan Boudou auraient presque forcé le Taulier à déshériter David et Laura au profit de Laeticia. Les fans du rockeur sont très attachés à David et Laura.

Et vous qu'en pensez-vous ?
