OG Maco‘s family provided fans with an official update following his hospitalization on December 12 for an alleged gunshot wound in a suicide attempt. Several media outlets released false reports of OG Maco dying after being hospitalized, with his manager refuting the claims on social media over the weekend. The family of the “U Guessed It” rap star released the following statement on his condition:
“We want to inform OG Maco’s fans, friends, and supporters that he is currently in critical but stable condition. He is receiving the best possible care, and we are staying hopeful as he continues to fight.
“At this time, we kindly ask that you respect our privacy, but if you would like to send any messages or have anything you wish to get to the family, please reach out via DM.
“Please note, all official updates regarding OG Maco’s health will come directly from his official social media accounts. This will be the only source for valid information.
“We thank you for your understanding, support, and continued prayers during this difficult time.”
The 31-year-old artist was found unresponsive last week, and rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he remains on life support. According to reports, a firearm was recovered at the scene, and Maco was immediately taken into surgery upon arrival at the hospital.
The incident has prompted an outpouring of support from fans and collaborators alike. Longtime producer Kino Beats took to Instagram to call out misinformation surrounding the rapper’s condition, writing, “All these fake blogs got something to say now, but where were they when we needed support? Fake industry, fake people, fake love.”
OG Maco has left a lasting imprint on the hip-hop landscape. As one of the first artists signed to Quality Control, he helped shape the label’s identity while influencing a new generation of talent. Known for his breakout hit “U Guessed It,” Maco has also collaborated with celebrated artists like Mac Miller, Larry June, and Doja Cat, solidifying his role as a trailblazer in modern rap.
In reflecting on his struggles, Maco once stated, “I don’t mind. Just remember, I never did a thing to you. To see a world where the do-ers and dreamers are ridiculed more than losers and conformity is worse than missing an eye.” These words resonate deeply as fans rally around the artist during this critical time.
