THE family of rapper OG Maco has broken their silence about the death rumors surrounding the artist.
OG Maco, who was hospitalized with an apparent gunshot wound on December 13, is in critical but stable condition, his family confirmed.
“He is receiving the best possible care, and we stay hopeful as he continues to fight,” the message shared on the rapper‘s Instagram account read.
“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… 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.”
OG Maco, whose real name is Benedict Chiajulam Ihesiba Jr., was found unresponsive in his home in Los Angeles on the morning of December 13, according to Hot97.
The rapper, 32, was found with a gunshot wound to the head and underwent emergency surgery, the outlet reported.
Poppa Perc, the rapper’s manager, previously told AllHipHop that OG Maco was on “life support, still fighting.”
“They are doing multiple tests on his brain and trying to let the swelling go down a bit, let his head heal a little bit, so they can do a procedure.
“Only immediate family is allowed at the hospital, but we’ve been getting updates.
“I thought he was dead when I first saw him,” the manager said upon finding the rapper unresponsive.
“We were about to rebrand and drop [new music] under a whole new alias,” he added.
“We need everyone’s prayers, but don’t get your hopes up.”
