Shortly after his car accident and arrest that month, she tweeted him "pls (sic) take care of yourself".
When discussing their break-up on Twitter, Grande wrote: "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 and prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man’s inability to keep his s*** together is a very major problem."
Tributes to the late rapper have been pouring in on Twitter.
Chance the Rapper said he was "one of the sweetest guys I ever knew".

It is important to emphasize that the Ooni of Ife is not only the custodian of the sacred Od...
