On Friday (May 7), Miller’s estate and his mother, Karen Meyers, released a statement in light of Paul Cantor's upcoming book, Most Dope: The Extraordinary Life of Mac Miller, which drops January 18, 2022, a day before the late rapper’s birthday. "This book is not authorized or endorsed by Malcolm’s family and has been written by a writer with whom Malcolm did not have a relationship," the estate said in a statement. "Furthermore, the writer had no meaningful access to those that were closest to Malcolm — friends, family, and collaborators, etc," the statement read. In fact, the writer of this book was made aware at the outset of the process of writing this book that the family and friends of Malcolm were uncomfortable with him authoring this biography, yet he chose to proceed against our polite insistence that he not do a disservice to Malcolm’s legacy through writing a book without legitimate primary sources."
