The Atlanta native rapper OG Maco rose to fame a decade ago in 2014 for his debut single “U Guessed It” remix featuring 2 Chainz after it made it to the Billboard Hot 100 list. Soon after, Maco signed to Quality Control Music record label and went on to release two mixtapes with the label and five more singles till 2016. Suddenly on July 28, 2016, Maco got in a near-fatal car crash and suffered multiple skull fractures, cracked vertebrae, a broken orbital, heart palpitations, and almost lost his right eye (via The Boom Box).

The rapper revealed through his Instagram stories that he had developed this disease after he was “improperly treated for a minor rash” (via Fox News). The disease took a great toll on Maco’s mental health and the rapper began struggling with depression. However, his ion for music kept him going and he released his first studio album, The God Of Rage in Oct. 2021.

With his hard work and ion, Maco had amassed a wealth of $10 million as of Dec. 2024, according to Ghana Celebrities. Part of it came from his hip-hop collective label OGG through which he discovered then-unknown producer OG Parker.

Sadly on Dec. 12, 2024, Maco was hospitalized in Los Angeles after a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. According to TMZ, Maco was rushed to the hospital after police responded to a neighbor’s 911 call of hearing a gunshot go off nearby. The rapper then spent the next two weeks in a coma, and his death was confirmed on Dec. 26 by his family in a long, heartfelt statement posted to his Instagram :
