The text describes the last days of rapper Mac Miller's life, who died of an overdose on September 7, 2018, at the age of 26. Two days prior, Mac Miller had arranged for separate deliveries of substances from his dealer, Cameron Pettit, and a friend, Mayor Johansen. Pettit failed to show up, but Mac Miller was eventually able to get the substances from Johansen's associate, Carla Armador.
After Mac Miller's death, Pettit panicked and considered fleeing the country. Meanwhile, investigators found counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl in Mac Miller's home, which were linked to Pettit. Pettit had purchased the pills from Stephen Walter, who had a long list of previous convictions. Despite knowing the risks, Pettit and Walter continued to sell the counterfeit pills, even after Mac Miller's death.
In September 2019, Pettit, Walter, and another associate, Ryan Reavis, were arrested and charged with conspiring to distribute controlled substances resulting in death. After a two-year prison sentence, Walter was sentenced to 17 years in prison, while Pettit and Reavis await trial.
