Craig Mack’s Ex Wife Claims Rapper Was Purposely Infected With HIV As Part Of A Setup

The legacy of the late Craig Mack is being thrust back into the spotlight following a series of shocking claims made by his former wife.

During a new sit down with The Art of Dialogue, Roxanne Alexis Hill Johnson revealed her belief that the “Flava In Ya Ear” rapper did not contract AIDS by accident but was instead targeted.

Mack, who was the first breakout star of the Diddy founded Bad Boy Records in the early 1990s, passed away in March 2018 at the age of 47.

While his official cause of death was eventually linked to HIV and AIDS complications, Hill Johnson suggests that there was a much more sinister plot at play behind the scenes of the music industry.

According to Hill Johnson, she and her two children were kept in the dark about the rapper’s true health status until just two weeks before he took his final breath. “The kids knew he had been sick, but no one told them what was wrong,” she stated, adding that a coroner later informed her that Mack had likely been battling the illness for an entire decade.

By doing the math on that timeline, Hill Johnson noted that he would have been back in New York when he first became symptomatic. This period aligns with his time in the city that served as the headquarters for Bad Boy, a label currently facing renewed scrutiny as its founder remains incarcerated on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

Hill Johnson was firm in her stance that Mack’s lifestyle did not align with the rumors that circulated after his diagnosis became public.

“I believe him getting sick was something that was intentional,” she shared during the interview. She described the rapper as a “very heterosexual man” who enjoyed the company of women and dismissed any speculation regarding his sexuality. “He wasn’t gay. Someone got to him,” she alleged, implying that the infection was used as a weapon against him.

She even recalled a chilling warning Mack once gave to another male artist, telling him to “be careful” because someone in the industry would try to “poison” him with a sexually transmitted infection.

The interview also touched on Mack’s final years spent in a religious compound in South Carolina, where he famously denounced his rap career.

Hill Johnson believes that during those years, Mack refused to take medication to treat his condition or simply never disclosed his treatment to his family.

Last year, a Rolling Stone report confirmed that while Mack’s death certificate listed HIV/AIDS complications, his family initially respected his wishes by telling the public he suffered from congestive heart failure.

Now, with these new allegations on the table, it seems the mystery surrounding the hip hop pioneer’s death is far from settled.
