D.C. Young Fly bid farewell to his late partner Jacky Oh this weekend with a beautiful eulogy delivered during her funeral service at Jackson Memorial Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA.
In a livestream video posted by the Southern-based church on Saturday (June 10), the Atlanta comedian and rapper addressed the hundreds of funeral goers with a heartfelt message rooted in God and leaning on faith to push through tough times.
Beginning by discussing the Book of Genesis and the strength and courage of Joseph who was an important figure in the Bible, D.C. Young Fly then compared himself to the biblical figure and emphasized that his faith is allowing him to push through this difficult time.
“I’m sitting here strong, letting you know chin up, chest out, that I’m straight,” D.C. Young Fly told those in attendance. “My kids, we good. Because we led by spirit, and not by flesh. Are we hurt? Yes. Because we human. We got emotions. I want everybody in here — if you don’t take nothing from today, man, I don’t care whatever you going through in life, listen man, find you a relationship with God! Keep God first.”
The 85 South Show co-host explained that he’s dealt with trauma all his life but it hits different now he’s lost the mother of his three children — daughters Nova and Nala, and son Prince. He concluded by saying that Jacky Oh had a “beautiful soul” and was a “great mother” while jokingly saying that he wanted to have more kids.
Lamenting on how his family needs prayer and encouragement from everyone, D.C. Young Fly also urged everyone to read their Bibles and keep the faith.
Jacky Oh (real name Jacklyn Smith) passed away on June 1 at the age of 32. TMZ reported that the model, actor, and Shein partner — who met D.C. Young Fly in 2015, when he was on Wild N’Out for the first time — was in Miami getting what’s known as a “mommy makeover” when she reportedly passed away.
In recent years, “mommy makeovers” have become very popular amongst the celebrity crowd, with folks like Blac Chyna, Cardi B, and Pepa of Salt-N-Pepa all confessing to the procedure after they’d given birth to their children.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that a “mommy makeover” often consists of a combination of several procedures, including a breast augmentation, lift, or reduction; a tummy tuck; a butt augmentation; liposuction; and an arm or a thigh lift.
“Mommy makeovers” are often done by mothers after their pregnancies to get the “snap back” look, but can also be done by post-menopausal women who put on weight due to hormone fluctuations.
D.C. Young Fly previously paid tribute to Jacky with an Instagram post earlier in the week, calling her “the greatest mother” he knows.
“I wasn’t in no rush to post this because I wanted it to be a dream so bad but every hour I’m reminded of realty so I wanna make sure I applaud you in the proper manner,” he wrote alongside a series of intimate photos and videos from throughout their relationship.
“You are the GREATEST MOTHER I KNOW your soul was beautiful Yu always wanted the best for others and I admired how our family love each other!!! Never had to worry about our kids loving each other cause you were on top of Dat!!! You kno we GOD fearing and we are grounded by the spirit.”
“Your God” would’ve told you she didn’t need that mommy makeup in the first place. Real talk. May she RIP. Another life lost to industry/public expectations on what beauty should be. And at what cost? Leaving your kids motherless? She was beautiful. But nah. Social media got makes and females acting like fools. It reminds me of Johnny Saks in the Sopranos. His wife was not looked at as the ideal “beautiful wife” due to her weight and she goes overboard trying to lose weight (which she cheats on)…but not to appeal to Johnny bc he loves and thinks she’s the most beautiful woman on this Earth, but bc the other mob wives are doing it and she wants to be just like them! Johnny catches her eating a secret stash of candy and goes off about how he’s upset bc at the end of the day, don’t cheat yourself, accept the love your partner had for you AND NOBODY ELSE! Be confident. You have the love that loves you. Who you trying to impress? Wasn’t your ideal partner enough? His, her or their eyes for you are not enough?!?!?!? I’m sorry she left children. I’m not sorry at her decision. Real talk.
