Benedict Chiajulam Ihesiba Jr. (April 23, 1992 – December 26, 2024), better known by the stage name OG Maco, was an American rapper from College Park, Georgia.[2]

He was 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 was 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.

Health issues and death

Ihesiba was seriously injured in a traffic collision on July 28, 2016. He suffered multiple skull fractures, cracked vertebrae, a broken orbital, and heart palpitations, and nearly lost his right eye.[9][10]

In 2019, he was diagnosed with the flesh-eating disease necrotizing fasciitis, causing an improperly treated minor skin rash to leave much of his facial skin disfigured.[11][12] Ihesiba struggled with depression from his battle with the condition,[13] and on December 12, 2024, he was hospitalized after a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.[14][15] He spent the next two weeks in a coma before dying from his injuries on December 27, 2024.[16][17]
