Following the news of Steve’s passing, Kim went on Instagram and shared a pic wearing a gold bikini. She captioned the photo, “All that glitters is gold,” seeming to reference lyrics from Smash Mouth’s hit 1999 song “All Star.”

Rapper GoldLink also faced backlash for his post about Mac Miller’s death — which occurred five years ago to the day — where he spoke about the breakdown of their relationship before Mac’s passing.

GoldLink seemed to imply in the post that Mac lifted inspiration for his critically acclaimed 2016 album, The Divine Feminine, from his mixtape, And After That, We Didn’t Talk. After backlash, GoldLink spoke out and said his words had been misinterpreted. “I never used the word copy. I never used the word steal,” he said. “The thing is, Mac Miller wrote all of Divine Feminine. That was a great album.”
