Rapper Mack Maine took to social media on Monday to mourn the tragic loss of his 20-year-old son Isaiah as result of a seizure.
The New Orleans native, 43, posted a lengthy emotional statement on Instagram revealing that his teen son passed away as result of a seizure less than two weeks ago.
‘This is a pain I’ve personally never felt before,’ Maine said, ‘but I’m still trusting and believing in God’s plan and God’s will and mercy.’
Maine, a longtime friend and associate of rapper Lil Wayne, prefaced the moving statement in noting that he had ‘been trying to build up the strength to put up this post since last night.’
Maine, whose real name is Jermaine Anthony Preyan, wrote that ‘On July 16th I received a call that my son Isaiah (Zeke) passed away at his home in California from a seizure.’
The Every Girl artist was candid in dissecting the tragic situation, as he said he was ‘still in shock and still processing the fact that he’s gone;’ and ‘still confused, still questioning life and why my child and not me.’

Maine added that he was comforted by the spiritual implications following Isaiah’s premature passing.
‘I know I am/was his father while he was here in the flesh but now he’s 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,’ Maine said.
Maine thanked his late son for providing him ‘with one of the greatest gifts [he’s] ever received, Fatherhood!’
He continued: ‘The experience and bond with you and I brought me purpose… YOU were my biggest inspiration and motivation..YOU were the reason I got out of the bed when everyone else snoozed.
‘Your smile brightened my dark days as you were my SONshine. Your soul was made of innocence and your heart was pure. Since July 16th your village has been crushed and we’re hurting.’

‘I don’t even believe what I just read,’ said Minaj. ‘This can’t be real. I love you so much.’
