A 28-year-old man was today arrested and subsequently charged over the death of rapper Mac Miller.

Cameron James Pettit allegedly supplied Ariana Grande’s ex-boyfriend painkiller pills laced with fentanyl, reports The Sun.

Miller was found dead at his Los Angeles home of an accidental drug overdose in September last year aged 26.

Prosecutors claim he had asked to be given “percs”, a prescribed painkiller containing oxycodone.

Instead, he was allegedly given counterfeit oxycodone pills that contained a deadly concoction of fentanyl, xanax and cocaine, approximately two days before he was found dead.

Mac Miller dated Ariana Grande for nearly two years.

Pettit has been charged with one count of distribution of a controlled substance, and is expected to make his initial court appearance on Wednesday afternoon in LA, local time.

If convicted on the charge, he faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Grande and Miller had dated for nearly two years and following their split said they would remain “the closest of friends”.

She led a heartbreaking tribute to the tragic star at Coachella music festival this year.

After their break-up, Grande said: “I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be.

“I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years.

“Of course I didn’t share about how hard or scary it was while it was happening but it was.”
