Fans and colleagues alike are still in shock following the death of Jacky Oh. DC Young Fly, the father of her three children, issued a brief statement to People on Friday (June 2) in response to the tragic loss. “We thank everyone for their good wishes and ask for privacy during this difficult time,” read the message.
In a previous interview with DJ Smallz Eyes, Jacky Oh — real name Jacklyn Smith — revealed how she and DC first met. “We met in the lobby of a hotel during the filming of ‘Wild N’ Out,'” she explained. “We started dating immediately after the show ended.” I flew back to California, he flew back to Atlanta, and I believe I flew back to Atlanta a week or two later.”
She went on to describe that life-changing (and hilarious) moment in the hotel lobby. “I was just walking into the hotel lobby when I first met DC.” It was between six and seven o’clock in the morning. He was with Emmanuel Hudson, whom many of you are familiar with. He also appears on ‘Wild N’ Out.’ I went to say hi to Emmanuel when I noticed this guy sitting next to him being anti-social and mean. In my mind, I assumed it was Emmanuel’s brother… I was just watching him like a peeping tom. I simply liked him. “I had a feeling.”
Odell Beckham Jr., who knew Jacky Oh through his partner Lauren Wood, paid tribute to the model-turned-entrepreneur on social media. “Each day is a gift.” Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Take it easy, angel. “We adore you,” he said on Twitter. “Do not take life for granted. We arrived in the blink of an eye. Please love on your loved ones while they are still alive.
