GoldLink Revisits Controversial Mac Miller Remarks in New Freestyle

Seven years after sparking backlash over comments about Mac Miller, GoldLink is once again addressing the controversy.

In 2019, GoldLink shared an Instagram post honoring the late Mac Miller, but the tribute quickly became a source of criticism. Within the message, GoldLink suggested that Miller's album The Divine Feminine drew significant inspiration from his own project And After That, We Didn’t Talk. While he did not directly accuse Miller of copying him, many readers interpreted the post that way.

The timing of the comments also upset fans, as Miller had passed away only a year earlier. Critics argued that raising such claims in a memorial post was inappropriate and overshadowed the tribute itself.

Years later, the incident continues to follow GoldLink. Many fans still bring up the controversy online, and some believe it negatively affected his momentum in the music industry. In a newly released freestyle, GoldLink responds to the lingering criticism, directly referencing the Mac Miller situation and even mentioning Tyler, the Creator as part of his reflection on the controversy.
