Damn, I feel so stupid lol. This is what helped me after scratching my head for hours. Check what port your MySQL is running on and that's the one you use in your .env file.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=8889
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=yourusername
DB_PASSWORD=yourpassword

Make sure when you create your user that you grant all privileges for the user. If you're still confused then ask me and ill find time to help you out. Happy coding everyone!
