In July, rapper, OG Maco, got into a severe car accident and nearly lost his eye. In a sit-down with DJ Vlad, the 24-year-old explains his intense reconstructive surgery and opens up about what happened the night he and his entourage got into the wreck. “Basically, we got f***ed up.” He said, “And when you get f***ed up the person who’s supposed to drive wasn’t driving so you put a young, inexperienced guy in a bad situation in the middle of the night with drunk people and loud noises and hella complaints, and somebody hit us.” The rapper says he doesn’t know why there were reports of fatalities from the crash, however, did detail his extensive surgery.
