It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of American rapper OG Maco at the age of 32. The news of his death on Boxing Day was a shock to many, especially those who have been following his music career since his debut single, U Guessed It, hit the airwaves in 2014. This song was a major milestone in the trap music scene of the 2010s and helped to solidify Maco's place as a rising star.
The events leading up to Maco's death began on December 12, when he was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital after suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was reportedly in critical condition and spent two weeks in a coma before ultimately passing away. His family released a statement on social media, describing Maco as a resilient, creative, and loving individual who had a profound impact on those around him through his music and passion. They also expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from fans during this difficult time.
Maco's manager, Poppa Perc, also provided updates on his condition, revealing that the rapper was still fighting for his life in intensive care. Despite the severity of his injuries, Maco's team remained hopeful and asked for prayers from the public. Unfortunately, his condition continued to deteriorate, and he was unable to recover.
Maco, whose real name was Benedict Chiajulam Ihesiba Jr., rose to fame during the SoundCloud era and became an online sensation thanks to platforms like Vine and social media. His viral hit, U Guessed It, even landed on the Billboard Hot 100 with the help of a remix featuring 2 Chainz. He continued to make music and released his debut album, The God of Rage, in 2021.
Aside from his musical success, Maco also faced personal struggles, including a serious car accident in 2016 that left him with multiple skull fractures and cracked vertebrae. In 2019, he was also diagnosed with necrotising fasciitis, a rare and potentially fatal flesh-eating disease. Despite these challenges, Maco remained determined and continued to share his story and music with the world.
As we mourn the loss of Maco, let us remember the impact he had on the music industry and the lives of those who knew him. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will live on through his music and the memories he has left behind. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones during this difficult time.
