Well known rapper Mack Maine, born Jermaine Anthony Preyan, has revealed that his son, Isiah or Zeke has passed away.
Preynan took to his Instagram on Monday, July 28, to confirm the news alongside several photos of his son, who was 20 at the time of his passing.
“Been trying to build up the strength to put up this post since last night so bear with me,” he wrote in the caption. “I’m still in shock and still processing the fact that he’s gone. Still confused, still questioning life and why my child and not me.”
The rapper stated that Zeke has now “ascended to rejoin OUR Father God in the spirit and his ancestors who also loved him dearly like his grandfather (my dad) and his grandmother.”
The touching note continued, “Zeke I thank you for granting me with one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received, Fatherhood! The experience and bond with you and I brought me purpose."
He went on to thank his child for being the “biggest inspiration and motivation” and the “reason I got out of the bed when everyone else snoozed.”
“This is a pain I’ve personally never felt before but I’m still trusting and believing in God’s plan and God’s will and mercy,” the rapper concluded.
