by

OG Maco fans expressed concern, confusion, and since-retracted condolences for his condition after he allegedly survived a suicide attempt this week. Moreover, authorities found him unresponsive in his home in California after a neighbor head a firearm go off, although we don’t have many more details to go off of. First and foremost, we wish Maco the best during this difficult time and hope that he recovers in a speedy fashion. It seems like this might be the case, as his longtime manager and friend Poppa Perc relayed a hopeful update on his condition to Instagram on Saturday (December 14).

“We all wanna thank you for praying for @ogxmaco,” OG Maco’s manager Poppa Perc shared on the social media platform. “He’s still fighting and he’s in a more stable condition and it’s better than what he was 2 nights ago. We won’t know [too] much untill Monday for now please keep praying.” The “Let It Be” artist himself hasn’t really given fans much of a direct update or statement on the situation, but they are focused on support and solidarity rather than having all the answers as soon as possible.

However, fans also faced a lot of confusion during this time, as some outlets reported that OG Maco passed away. His manager quickly dispelled these rumors, as he spoke to AllHipHop to confirm Maco’s well-being along with some other social media posts blasting these publications. “Say Cheese is capping right now,” Poppa Perc relayed on Instagram. “Maco is still in ICU.” “He’s still on life support, still fighting,” he told AllHipHop on Friday (December 13). “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.”

Meanwhile, fans of the “Devotion” rapper continue to make their support crystal clear on social media. OG Maco’s situation still left many of them with questions, but during such a sensitive and arduous time, they are ready to wait as long as they need to.

OG Maco shocked fans and peers alike on December 12. The rapper was rushed to an L.A. hospital on Thursday morning after being found unresponsive. Police told TMZ that they were called to the rapper’s California home after a neighbor heard a gun shot. OG Maco was found unresponsive on the floor of his home and subsequently taken to surgery. The details surrounding the incident are sparse. The outlet is reporting, however, that all signs seemingly point to a suicide attempt.

OG Maco’s manager, Poppa Percccc, told TMZ that the rapper is still alive. He did not provide updates on Maco’s condition, but he did urge fans to send their prayers. Los Angeles police claim that a firearm was recovered from the crime scene. It’s a shocking turn of events. OG Maco has, however, been open about his struggles with depression in the past. The “U Guessed It” rapper told Complex Magazine that he regularly suffers from depressive bouts. He also opened up about necrotising fasciitis, a flesh eating disease he has suffered from throughout his career.

OG Maco Was Reportedly Rushed Into Surgery

OG Maco told the outlet that the disease made him feel isolated from friends and family. “I was scared, I didn’t know what was going to happen,” he admitted. “I didn’t know if I was going to lose my entire face… Almost did.” OG Maco was frank about the severity of his depression, as well. He considered taking his own life on more than one occasion. “I wanted to die a bunch of days,” the rapper asserted. “Everybody I really thought would be here, who I really thought I could depend on, weren’t there.” Maco shared these revelations in 2019.

OG Maco also suffered a near fatal accident in 2016. The rapper was seriously injured in a crash, and was subsequently left without the use of his left eye. He confirmed that he was safe via Twitter, and he used a Kanye West quote to do it. “Thank God I ain’t too cool for the safe belt,” he wrote. Maco is known for his 2014 smash “U Guessed It,” but he dropped mixtapes and albums consistently throughout the 2010s. His last project to date was 2017’s OG Maco 3. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Ab-Soul Details Suicide Attempt: “I Got A Lot Of Work To Do Still”

by

One of the most prolific voices in Hip Hop, Ab-Soul, is opening up in a new interview with Charlamagne Tha God. Today (December 16), the Top Dawg Entertainment standout delivered Herbert, his first studio album in six years. The rollout to the project’s arrival has been fierce as Ab, a quiet figure in the industry, hopped from one outlet to the next to share more of his journey.

This week, he teased his intimate interview with Charlamagne. Deservingly, Ab boasted about his skills, but it wasn’t all about his lyrical abilities. It was suggested earlier this week that he may have endured a suicide attempt, and now, Ab is sharing more about the harrowing experience.

The Carson native said he was lost during this time, but the experience did help him rid himself of unhealthy habits.

“I did not get any brain damage, I jumped off a freeway overpass, man, it was about 50 feet.” He also added, “I think a car broke my fall. No brain damage. It’s God. That was, ‘Alright bro, now sit down and shut up. Take it all in. Relax. You blessed, man.’”

“I pretty much finished the album before I did what I did,” he said elsewhere. “How I’m choosing to take it is—and I’m not giving it credit—but it brought me down to a place where I needed to be as vulnerable as possible. And as soon as I said everything I needed to say, I jumped.”

Ab-Soul also recalled waking up on the ground and thinking, “F*cking idiot.” He added, “I woke up on the floor, bro. Yanked me up, I passed back out and woke up in the hospital.”

“I literally walked from my mom’s house. It was kinda cinematic, too. [I was] on Del Amo Boulevard, my street. The subconscious me was trying to make this cinematic. ‘Oh, he died in Del Amo! He was the king of Carson, oh my god!’ It was cinematic, you know what I’m saying?”

He also shared the effects of the attempt. Ab revealed he lost his teeth and is wearing a flipper.

“I ain’t even got my implants yet. My jaw’s fucked up, I got a lot of work to do still. My foot is completely reconstructed, all the way to my pelvis. Everything but my knee. It doesn’t even make sense that my knee wasn’t affected. My femur, everything was affected except my knee.”

Additionally, if his knee would have been injured, the rapper believes he wouldn’t be able to walk.

Herbert has already received rave reviews as fans and critics dissect the rapper’s ability to turn inward and express his truth as a wordsmith. We’re glad to see Ab is on the mend and in a better place. Stream Herbert by Ab-Soul above.
