Maco’s manager, Poppa Percccc, confirmed that Maco is alive but on life support, telling TMZ, the rapper needs “Urgent prayers from all his friends, fans, supporters, and associates.”

Maco, born Benedict Chiajulam Ihesiba Jr. Was one of the breakout stars of Quality Control Records with his hit “U Guessed It” which featured a remix with 2 Chainz and entered the Billboard Hot 100. Maco eventually signed to Quality Control Music and was chosen as part of XXL magazine’s 2015 Freshman Class alongside artists DeJ Loaf, Fetty Wap, GoldLink, and Vince Staples.

Over the years, Maco has been open about his own personal struggles, including a severe car accident in 2016 and a rare skin-eating disease known as Necrotizing Fasciitis. Despite these challenges, he has been working on new music, with unreleased material reportedly in the works.
