OG Maco opened up about a serious medical issue he’s been dealing with for the past few months. The Atlanta-bred artist used his Instagram Stories to reveal his battle with a flesh-eating disease and shared some photos of its effects.
“So much healing has occurred thanks to God and my doctors that I’m willing to show all a fraction of what I’ve been going through,” he wrote as a caption to the first photo. “I was improperly treated for a minor rash and ended up with a skin-eating disease for the last few months. This is the best it’s looked. I hope it gives someone hope.”
Maco noted how the suffering he’s gone through has been compounded by a lack of support from his loved ones.
“I’ve been going through this alone 90% of the time, without the support of the person I love, without most of my ‘friends’, without anything but my own strength and God,” he explained. “Girlfriends/Lovers will leave you at your worst. Friendship is many times just a word. Actions are everything. Believe in those who show you actions worth believing in.”

Maco also posted a video about his difficult experience with the disease.
“I know it took a lot to share any of that because I’ve been going through this for about three months,” he said. “And everybody I thought would really be there, who I really thought could depend on, wasn’t there.”
He added, “It caused me to not really trust anybody or believe in anything. I went through really the worst of it. I’ve been scared a lot. I didn’t know what was gonna happen. I didn’t know if I was going to lose my entire face. I almost did.”
After opening up on Instagram, the creator of the viral hit “U Guessed It” thanked fans for their support via Twitter.
