Mack Maine Mourns Death of Son Zeke After Sudden Seizure

New Orleans rapper and Young Money president Mack Maine is mourning the heartbreaking loss of his 20-year-old son, Isaiah “Zeke” — who passed away after suffering a fatal seizure on July 16 at his home in California.

Mack, still in complete shock, took to social media to share his grief publicly for the first time — revealing that his son’s death has left him confused, broken, and questioning life itself.

“You were my biggest inspiration and motivation… the reason I got out of bed every morning,” Mack wrote in a deeply emotional tribute.

He went on to say Zeke had a “soul made of innocence and a heart that was pure,” adding that his son’s smile would brighten even his darkest days.

The rapper also shared that he chose to announce the devastating news on his own birthday, which also happens to be the day his own father passed away two years ago. The date now holds double heartbreak for the rap executive.

“Thank you for making me a father — that was one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received.”

Zeke’s passing has left a deep hole in Mack Maine’s family, with the artist admitting he’s feeling a pain unlike anything he’s ever known.

He closed his message by encouraging others to cherish their loved ones while they can:

“Hug your people. Squeeze them tight. Tell them you love them.”

Zeke was just 20 years old.
