OG Maco passed away last night surrounded by family in a Los Angeles hospital, TMZ Hip Hop has learned.
The "U Guessed It" rapper had been hospitalized since December 12 after suffering a gunshot wound to the head. Sources close to the situation tell us Maco's coma took a turn and he went into critical condition, and he was unable to be revived.
Doctors had been struggling to get a proper brain scan in attempts to flush out all the toxins in Maco's system since he was admitted earlier in the month.
We're told his family flew in from out of town and are shaken up over the loss.
False reporting of Maco's death flooded social media, but as we told you at the time, Maco was rushed to the hospital after police responded to a neighbor's 911 call of hearing a gunshot go off nearby. A firearm was later recovered close to Maco.
The Atlanta native carved out his rap legacy out in 2014 with his viral banger "U Guessed It," cementing the hitmaking factor for QC Records.
He would continue to push the hip hop envelope musically -- earning a spot on the 2015 XXL Freshman alongside Vince Staples, K Camp and others before medical issues, including a flesh-eating disease, altered his course.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Megan Thee Stallion asked a court on Tuesday to issue a restraining order against Tory Lanez, who she says is harassing her from prison through surrogates as he serves a 10-year sentence for shooting her in the feet.
The petition filed by the hip-hop star in Los Angeles Superior Court asks the judge to prevent the Canadian rapper Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, from using third parties to continue the same online harassment of Megan, whose legal name is Megan Pete, that he engaged in and encouraged before his imprisonment.
“Even now, while behind bars, Mr. Peterson shows no signs of stopping,” the petition says. “Despite being sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Ms. Pete, Mr. Peterson continues to to subject her to repeated trauma and revictimization.”
The petition says prison call logs from Lanez at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi show that he is coordinating attacks on Megan’s credibility.
An email seeking comment from Lanez’s lawyers was not immediately returned. A court hearing on the order is scheduled for Jan. 9.
The filing says bloggers acting on Lanez behalf continue to cast doubt on her allegations, making false claims including that the gun and bullet fragments in the case are missing.
The petition says the protective order issued to prevent the previous harassment is no longer in effect, which it calls a loophole and flaw in the criminal justice system.
In December 2022, Lanez was convicted of three felonies: assault with a semiautomatic firearm; having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
A judge rejected a motion for a new trial from Lanez’s lawyers, who are appealing his conviction.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) — One of D.C.'s notorious drug kingpins passed away just four months after being transferred to a halfway house.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed Rayful Edmond III died suddenly Tuesday evening at a halfway house in Florida. Officials have not released the cause of death at this time.
Edmond was transferred to "community confinement" back in August.
"We can confirm that Rayful Edmond III was transferred (not released) on July 31, 2024, to community confinement overseen by the Federal Bureau of Prisons' Nashville Residential Reentry Management Office," said Scott Taylor, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Edmond was originally sentenced out of the Middle District of Pennsylvania to 30 years consecutive to his D.C. sentence of life in prison – which was reduced to 20 years in prison. At the time, officials said Edmond's assistance as an informant to bring justice to murder cases and putting dozens of other drug dealers in jail made him valuable and helped lower his sentence.
Edmond's information and testimony over the years put away a killer responsible for 30 murders and helped unspool the Cali and Medellin cartel operations in the U.S.
Investigators revealed Edmond was a cellmate of Pablo Escobar’s future brother-in-law. Retired prosecutor Richard Watkins said that after Edmond was caught in 1994 directing Colombian cocaine into D.C. using prison phones, he decided to cooperate with investigators despite the threat of death.
Dec 16 (Reuters) - A 15-year-old girl opened fire in a Wisconsin school classroom on Monday, fatally shooting a fellow student and a teacher and wounding six other people before killing herself with the handgun, police said.
The shooting took place in a mixed-grade study hall shortly before 11 a.m. (1700 GMT) at the Abundant Life Christian School, which has 420 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
The shooter was a student at the school, identified by police as Natalie Rupnow, who also went by the name Samantha. A second-grade student, who would generally be 7 or 8 years old, called 911 to report the shooting at the school, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes told a press conference.
"Let that soak in for a minute," Barnes said.
The two shot dead were a teenage student and a teacher, Barnes said without identifying the victims. Two wounded students were in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, while another teacher and three other students were wounded and expected to survive.
School shootings have been a macabre routine in the United States, with 322 of them this year, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database website. That is the second highest total of any year since 1966, according to that database - topped only by last year's total of 349 such shootings. Monday's rampage was a rarity in that it was carried about by a girl. Only about 3% of all U.S. mass shootings perpetrated by females, studies show. There was as yet no known motive for the violence.
The shooter's parents were cooperating with the investigation, Barnes said, without revealing details of what was discussed. "We have no reason to believe that they have committed a crime at this time," Barnes said of the parents. Investigators were speaking with the girl's father at police facility, Barnes said, but not pressing him too hard because he just lost a daughter.
Asked how she got the gun, Barnes said, "Good question. How does any 15-year-old get ahold of a gun?" At a previous press conference, Barnes lamented how the tragedy would affect Madison, the capital of Wisconsin with a population of about 270,000.

NBC News - Jay-Z, the star rapper & entrepreneur whose real name is Shawn Carter, was accused in a civil lawsuit on Sunday of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 allegedly along with Sean “Diddy” Combs. The anonymous accuser, identified only as “Jane Doe,” said the assault happened after she was driven to an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty.
The lawsuit says a friend dropped her off at the VMAs at Radio City Music Hall. She didn’t have a ticket & approached various limousine drivers to attempt to gain access to the show or an after party
. One driver told her that he worked for Combs & she “fit what Diddy was looking for.” He invited her to a party following the show & told her to return to his car later in the evening after he transported Carter & Combs.
Later, the driver picked her up & after 20 minutes arrived at a White House with a U-shaped driveway. She had to sign a document she believed was a non-disclosure agreement on arrival & didn’t receive a copy — to enter the party the suit said was filled with celebrities & people doing marijuana & cocaine. She was offered a drink that made her feel “woozy, lightheaded & felt [like] she needed to lie down,” the suit said.
She went into a room to rest. Shortly after, Combs & Carter entered the room with Combs saying, “You are ready to party!”
That’s when she alleges that Carter removed her clothes & held her down & raped her while Combs & another unnamed female celebrity watched. She says Combs also raped her as Carter & the woman looked on. The suit says she was able to resist being forced to perform oral sex on Combs by hitting him in the neck & that he “stopped.”
After the alleged assault, she “grabbed her clothes” & left. She made her way to a gas station where she called her dad. The accuser is seeking unspecified damages.
The lawsuit is filed under New York’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act. #jayz #diddy #jayzrapeaccuser #13yearold #child #kid #teenagegirl #beyonce #rapesurvivor #jayzrapelawsuit #aaliyah #foxybrown #tocatchapredator #jaguarwright #genedeal #badboyentertainment #rocnation #shawncarter #seancombs #violenceagainstwomen #childabuseawareness #50cent #cassie
