Rapper OG Maco, born Benedict Ihesiba Jr., has passed away at 32, weeks after being hospitalised.
His family confirmed his death on Instagram on Dec. 27, calling his life “a testament to resilience, creativity, and boundless love.”
They added, “While we grieve this immense loss, we also celebrate the extraordinary life he lived.”
On Dec. 16, the family had shared that Maco was in “critical but stable condition” at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
His manager, Poppa Perc, told AllHipHop at the time that Maco was on life support and undergoing tests, asking for prayers as he fought for his life.
Known for his 2014 breakout hit “U Guessed It,” OG Maco rose to fame with Quality Control, collaborating with artists like Diplo and Migos and joining XXL’s 2015 Freshman Class.
Despite personal challenges, including a car accident in 2016 and a severe skin condition in 2019, his family says his impact “will remain forever etched in our hearts.”
