Benedict Chiajulam Ihesiba Jr. (born April 23, 1992), better known by his stage name OG Maco, is an American rapper from College Park, Georgia. [2] He is best known for his 2014 debut single "U Guessed It", which spawned a remix featuring 2 Chainz that entered the Billboard Hot 100. [3] He signed to Quality Control Music that same year, which became an imprint of Motown and Capitol Records the following year. He was chosen as part of XXL magazine's 2015 annual Freshman Class. [4] He is also the founder of the hip hop collective OGG, through which he discovered then-unknown producer OG Parker. In 2016, he released an extended play titled For Scott… as a tribute to his biggest influence, American rapper Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi.
Maco was born on April 23, 1992, in College Park, Georgia. He grew up with friends in a band named Dr. Doctor, in which he participated as a guitarist and singer. [5]
Maco cites Black Sabbath, Kid Cudi, and Curren$y as major influences. [6] [7] [8]
On July 28, 2016, OG Maco was in a near-fatal car crash. Maco suffered multiple skull fractures, cracked vertebrae, a broken orbital, heart palpitations, and almost lost his right eye. [9] [10]
Despite earlier reports, OG Maco never lost his right eye. His eyesight only became extremely distorted, so he had to wear an eye-patch during his subsequent recovery. [11] A few surgical procedures on OG Maco's right eye by his doctors has corrected the eyesight and has proven successful, and OG Maco is still able to see through it. Many earlier reports claimed doctors replaced his apparent blinded eye with a prosthetic one; although these reports were later found to be misinformation or false.
In 2019, OG Maco was diagnosed with a flesh eating disease known as necrotizing fasciitis caused by an inadequately treated minor skin rash, which left much of his facial skin disfigured. [12] [13]
On December 12, 2024, Maco was hospitalized after a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. [14] [15]
