Tragically, TMZ Hip Hop reports that OG Maco has passed away at the age of 32. The rapper was surrounded by family in a Los Angeles hospital when he succumbed to a gunshot wound to the head.
He had been in a coma since December 12, and despite efforts by medical officials, he could not be revived. Doctors tried to perform a brain scan to remove toxins from his system, but unfortunately, it was unsuccessful.
Fans had expressed concern over Maco’s hospitalization and sent well-wishes, but sadly, he did not recover. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his loved ones during this challenging time.
Previously, OG Maco’s manager and longtime friend had shared an update on his status. “We all wanna thank you for praying for @ogxmaco,” he relayed on Instagram. “He’s still fighting and he’s in a more stable condition and it’s better than what he was 2 nights ago. We won’t know [too] much untill Monday for now please keep praying.” That was over a week ago, and folks hadn’t heard much ofan update since.
Unfortunately, OG Maco’s hospitalization caused a lot of confusion at the time thanks to some false reports, and we sadly did not get a happy ending to this story. His career kicked off around 2014 thanks to the viral hit “U Guessed It” and many other high-profile tracks and collaborations. Maco even landed in the 2015 XXL Freshman Class. Sadly, medical problems had other plans for him, yet he continued to make music and further his career despite these obstacles. Now, fans are sharing some of their fondest memories of the Georgia MC, expressing their sympathies, and looking to celebrate his life and legacy rather than allow this to define him.
