DC Young Fly confessed that he ‘cries all the time’ over the death of his longtime partner and mother to his three children, Ms Jacky Oh!
The entertainer (born Jacklyn Smith) was just 32 when she passed away in Miami, Florida after getting cosmetic surgery.
Before her death, she announced she was heading to Miami to have a ‘mommy makeover’ done but deleted the Instagram post.
When asked how he’s been able to move forward, in the wake of such a tragedy, DC attributed his strength to his friends and faith.
‘Being with my brothers, you know, great love and great energy, you know,’ he told TMZ on Wednesday in New York City.

‘God is the greatest. He’s granted me the strength to keep going,’ the Wild ‘n Out star added.
Understandably shaken up over the sudden death of Jacky, DC (born John Whitfield) admits his wounds are still raw, and that he still cries over her loss, but opts to get emotional in the privacy of his own home, as opposed to the public.
‘We human. We emotional,’ he said of his recent state of mind and emotions. ‘That’s the point. People want to see me cry. I’m just not going to record myself crying and show you I’m crying.’
He went on to confess that he ‘cries all the time’ since Jacky’s passing, before sharing how he’s been leaning on his belief and faith in God.
‘I’d rather show positivity and let people know that God Is the greatest,’ the television personality, 31, explained. ‘I want to continue to show that God is keeping me uplifted, and he keeps granting me the strength. ‘
DC went on to share ‘that’s the message I want to continue to put out there in the world because there’s a lot of stuff out there and they want to desensitize the enemy and what the enemy is doing,’
‘Nah, the enemy is still working but God is always greater, you dig.’
When asked how his ‘babies’ are, he quickly responded that his three children he shared with Jacky – ages six, three, and 11 months – are ‘beautiful.’
‘I got to take care of my babies, and that’s the key to life. You got to keep going, stay prayed up, and never let the tragedies and stuff that you’re going through bring you down,’ the battle rap game show star said of his process to get through such a tragedy.
DC admitted the conversations with his young ones since their mother’s death have been tough.
Admittedly, DC says you really truly understand what those emotions are like until you experience a personal tragedy.
Lastly, the internet personality was asked whether Jacky’s death would open the door to much-needed conversations about cosmetic surgery and deter people.
