The rapper is “getting the highest quality care,” as stated in a message posted on his official Instagram account.
OG Maco is gradually and steadily recovering after his apparent suicide attempt. On Monday (Dec. 16), the rapper’s relatives provided an encouraging update regarding his health following his transfer to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
“We wish to update OG Maco’s fans, friends, and supporters that he is presently in critical yet stable condition.” A statement from the official Instagram account of the “U Guessed It” artist stated, “He is getting the finest care available, and we remain hopeful as he perseveres in his battle.”
“Currently, we respectfully request that you honor our privacy; however, if you wish to send messages or have anything to convey to the family, please contact us through DM,” urged OG Maco’s family.
“Kindly be aware that any official information about OG Maco’s health will be shared exclusively through his official social media platforms.” “This will serve as the sole source for accurate information,” the post went on. Fans had been depending on the Georgia native’s manager, Poppa Perc, for updates. He earlier stated that doctors were allowing the musician’s “head to heal somewhat so they can perform a procedure.”
There is little information available at this time regarding OG Maco’s circumstances. As reported by TMZ, the rapper was “discovered unresponsive and quickly taken to a nearby hospital” for surgery following a neighbor’s report of a gunshot coming from his residence. A gun, thought to be his, was also found at the location.
Since the release of “U Guessed It” in 2014, which peaked at No. 90 on the Billboard Hot 100 thanks to a remix featuring 2 Chainz, OG Maco has faced numerous challenges. In 2016, he was part of a serious car crash that led to him losing an eye. In 2019, the creator of Legends Live Forever was diagnosed with a flesh-eating illness known as necrotizing fasciitis.
