DC Young Fly is grateful for the outpouring of love and support he has received since the sudden death of the mother of his children, MsJackyOh (real name Jacklyn Smith). The entertainer released an exclusive statement to PEOPLE magazine on Friday (Jun. 2).
“We thank everyone for their well wishes and ask for privacy during this difficult time,” DC shared with the media source. The comedian’s statement followed star athlete Odell Beckham Jr.’s official statement from the family, which he shared on his Instagram page.
“It is with [sad] hearts we share with you that Jacklyn aka MsJackyOh has passed away on Wednesday, May 31st 2023,” Beckham’s social media post read. “Our family is still processing this very tragic and unexpected loss,” the Baltimore Ravens shared on the family’s behalf. “We ask that you please give us privacy during this time,” the statement requested.
MsJackyOh passed away earlier this week after reportedly suffering complications related to a mommy makeover she underwent in Miami, Florida. The doctor allegedly responsible for the procedure was featured on the celebrity mom’s timeline days before her cosmetic surgery appointment. He has since deleted all posts on Instagram.
The sudden death of MsJackyOh devastated many as the influencer welcomed her youngest child less than a year ago. “I do a lot,” the celebrity mom shared in a social media post uploaded in honor of Mother’s Day. “But being a mommy is my favorite,” MsJackyOh added.
“I promise I never take it for granted,” the celebrity mom shared. “I’m so d*mn blessed,” MsJackyOh declared.
Dozens have taken to Instagram to offer support to DC Young Fly since learning of the death of the mother of his children. “I watch you. I Love your Gift and how you bring Laughter to the world,” Fantasia wrote to the comedian.
