Benedict Chiajulam Ihesiba Jr. (born April 23, 1992), better known by his stage name OG Maco, is an American rapper from College Park, Georgia. He is best known for his 2014 debut single "U Guessed It", which peaked at number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100. He is signed to Quality Control Music in 2014, which became an imprint of Motown and Capitol Records the following year. He was also chosen as part of XXL magazine's 2015 annual Freshman Class.

Early life

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.

Personal life

Influences

Maco cites Black Sabbath, Kid Cudi, Future and Curren$y as major influences.

Car crash

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.

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. 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.

Flesh-eating disease

In 2019, OG Maco was diagnosed with a flesh eating disease known as necrotizing fasciitis, which left much of his facial skin disfigured.
