OG Maco, the Atlanta rapper famed for his 2014 hit “U Guessed It,” is undergoing surgery after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head in what appears to be a suicide attempt. Early Thursday, a Los Angeles hospital admitted the 31-year-old artist.
The incident unfolded after a neighbour’s report of a gunshot around 10 a.m. prompted police to respond to a residence. Upon arrival, authorities found OG Maco unresponsive and immediately transported him to a local medical facility. They retrieved a firearm at the scene, and ongoing investigations aim to clarify the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Maco’s manager, Poppa Percccc, confirmed that the rapper is alive but in critical condition. He has called on the rapper’s fans, friends, and the broader community to pray for Maco’s recovery. “OG Maco is fighting, and we’re hopeful for a full recovery,” stated Poppa Percccc.
OG Maco burst onto the scene in the mid-2010s as a prominent artist under Quality Control Records, home to other renowned acts like Migos and Lil Yachty. His track “U Guessed It” quickly became a viral anthem, cementing his status in the music industry. Maco has faced several personal and professional challenges despite his early success, including health issues and a less visible role in the music scene in recent years. Nevertheless, he has been actively working on new music, with unreleased tracks anticipated.
