Meek Mill told his Twitter followers that he was experiencing mental anguish amid his cousin’s latest legal issues in his home state of Pennsylvania.

In a series of tweets he shared on Wednesday (December 11), Meek revealed his cousin was taken into custody over a warrant he had no knowledge of while attempting to make an appearance at a youth detention facility. To be specific, Meek is accusing Buck’s County of some shady practices, including pinning the warrant on his cousin over a minor offense.

“Bucks county crazy for putting warrant my cousin …” Meek wrote in the tweet. “Coulda just called or something we from pa he got a warrant put out on him with no notification of he was in trouble … I put in blood sweat and tears for the state! For entering a range we respect the law it not a fight.”

He then broke down the situation that led to his cousin’s apparent arrest.

“He just had to get cleared the youth study center to enter a jail …” he wrote. “He had a warrant since sept with nobody told anyone! Please do not bring that stuff to me and my family everyone around me been tryna grow from the system and the streets.”

In his final tweet, Meek Mill appeared to hint at being pushed to the bring of a mental breakdown over the weight of the incident.

“They already made him do 3 years flat state bid for a jail house weed case of 0.03 grams/NOT 3 grams WHILE WEED WAS LEGAL!” he exclaimed. “Damn near messing his mental up!”

Meek Mill became emotional last December, when he joined Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro for a bill signing ceremony to celebrate the passage of probation reform.

“We grew up in the streets,” Meek said at the event inside Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center. “We try to be better, but they labeled us ‘felons,’ sent us back to jail. I had to fight against that the whole time to gain my respect and be who I am today. And I’m proud of that.”

(UPDATE) OG Maco is clinging to life at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, his day-to-day manager Poppa Perc confirms to AllHipHop.

First responders were called to the Atlanta rapper’s home on Thursday morning (December 12) after a neighbor heard a gunshot. Poppa Perc revealed he shot himself in the head in an apparent suicide attempt.

“I thought he was dead when I first saw him,” his manager tells us. “We were about rebrand and drop [new music] under a whole new alias. We need everyone’s prayers.” He grimly added, “But don’t get your hopes up. We don’t have too much information. They won’t even let us come to the hospital.”

Poppa Perc said OG Maco is currently on life support and doctors were doing everything they could to save him. This is a developing story. 

Atlanta rapper OG Maco is alive according to his day-to-day manager Poppa Perc.

A rumor that Maco had died appeared to start on Thursday (December 12) with an Instagram post from DJ Tony Neal, who shared a photo of Maco with the caption, “No wonder why I didn’t hear back from you, baby bro @ogxmaco in Aug when u said you didn’t wanna do music no more, I thought it was goin’ thru a slump, but now I see .. it was bigger than that #TheRage.”

The comments were swift, with many expressing their disbelief. As Lex Luger wrote, “Naaa bro wtf! Same here. I was always trying to get bro to do some music cause he so talented! We would always talk about mental health and real n#### problems don’t tell me he gone.”

DJ Paul wrote in the comment section, “Love U Nephew! Wish I knew how bad you was hurting inside,” suggesting he took his own life.

DJ Paul soon posted a since-deleted Instagram reel of his own, writing, ” Love U Nephew! We wish people we love spoke out to us more about whats going on inside but a lot of times its hard for some because this world is so driven on ‘Impressions.’” But Poppa Perc replied, “Hit my dm rn I’m his manager he’s not dead.”

DJ Paul followed up with yet another since-deleted Instagram post about OG Maco. This time, he wrote in the comment section, “Still alive!” and said he was “praying” for him.

OG Maco (real name Maco Mattox) released his breakout hit, “U Guessed It,” in 2014. The track gained massive attention for its minimalist beat and Maco’s explosive delivery. It became a viral sensation, earning him a deal with Quality Control Music, the same label as Migos and Lil Yachty.

Over the years, OG Maco has released numerous mixtapes and projects showcasing his versatility, blending trap, punk and experimental sounds, but his career has faced several challenges. In 2016, he was involved in a severe car accident that left him with multiple injuries. A few years later, he revealed he had a rare skin disease (flesh-eating necrotizing fasciitis), which significantly affected his appearance and required extensive treatment.

In 2019, he opened up about his condition in a series of photos and videos on his Instagram Stories, which included the immense scabbing that covered most of his face and scalp.

“So much healing has a [sic] occurred thanks to God and my doctors that I’m willing to show all a fraction of what I’ve been going through,” Maco wrote over a 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.”

OG Maco also revealed he’d been dealing with it alone, adding, “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. 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 hasn’t posted anything on Instagram since November 2. AllHipHop has reached out to Poppa Perc in hope of some answers. This is a developing story.

I need y’all to jump in the comments for real on this one.

Yo, let me clear the air real quick, because some of y’all out here running wild with these rumors like they hold weight. First off, Jamie Foxx is out here looking good, smiling at games and filming his Netflix special. And guess what? Nobody is worried about Diddy being involved in his medical scare from earlier this year.

I won’t say names, but these people get on these platforms talking spicy, implying Diddy had something to do with Jamie’s mysterious illness. Bruh, really? Look, we love a good conspiracy theory, but this one was weak from the jump. Jamie’s health situation was private, and he never blamed anybody. He’s not said a word about Diddy, aliens—nobody. If anything, Jamie’s been cracking jokes about teaching Diddy how to throw budget-friendly parties. Again, jokes.

Folks keep trying to stir the pot with stale ingredients, but we gotta get to the TRUF!

Bottom line: Jamie Foxx and Diddy are grown men with history, jokes and their own lanes. Let’s not get caught up in imaginary storylines when the facts just aren’t there. Things are out there and accusations are real, but maybe we need to let the court cases play out. Please stop trying to go viral and get algorithm money, please.

Thoughts?

I think they may need to start charging these liars.

TDE rapper Doechii has shared her perspective on what she believes is the essence of Hip-Hop by emphasizing its profound connection to Black culture and its deeper purpose.

On Thursday (December 12), the Alligator Bites Never Heal lyricist shared a lengthy tweet packed with a series of powerful statements and calls-to-action for fans and creators to resist efforts to strip the genre of its soul and meaning.

“Hip-Hop has always been deep,” Doechii wrote in the tweet. “It’s always been complex and soulful. “We use Hip-Hop to evolve, to protest, to celebrate. Art and music play a role in why a lot of us are proud to be Black today. Our culture is all through these genres.”

Doechii soon pivoted to warn against what she described as a growing trend to disconnect Hip-Hop from its roots by diminishing its inherent depth.

“Don’t let these people brainwash you into disconnecting from the soul of Hip-Hop by convincing you it isn’t cool or it’s ‘too deep,’” she wrote. “It’s always been that deep for us, and it should stay that way. We created it! Once we lose the soul, we’ve lost the genre.”

Doechii also took aim at critics of Hip-Hop that encourage thought or emotion, suggesting there’s an ulterior motive behind such opinions.

“Anybody talking s##t about Hip-Hop that makes you think or makes you feel something should immediately be recognized as an opp,” she wrote. “Ask yourself what they gain from us watering down our music, taking the soul out, only discussing surface-level topics, and becoming less conscious.”

She concluded by challenging the Hip-Hop community to protect the integrity of the genre.

“Only a specific group of people benefit from us not being introspective,” she wrote. “Tighten up.”

Doechii’s passionate remarks reflect the strong sense of pride in Hip-Hop and the accompanying cultural context of the Black oral tradition, which has shined through her recent blockbuster primetime TV performances. In addition to making an appearance in the Steven Colbert’s Late Show, Doechii delivered an unforgettable performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk alongside an ensemble of Black women rocking matching braids and beads.

She explained, “I decided to perform this record because I think there’s been a lot of heightened emotions with the current state of our country.” Doechii added, “I wrote this song specifically for Black women. I feel like as a dark-skinned woman there’s a very unique experience that I’m trying to internalize…So I dedicate this to all the beautiful Black women in the room.”
