In a poignant turn of events, D.C. Young Fly, the charismatic YouTuber and star of Nick Cannon’s hit show, “Wild 'N Out”, is navigating his first holiday season with his family after the heart-wrenching loss of his beloved partner, Jacklyn “Jackie Oh” Smith.
The couple, who once shared laughter and dreams, now grapple with the void left by Jackie Oh’s untimely passing. Their love story was woven with threads of joy and commitment, and together they raised three beautiful children: Nova (6 years old), Nala (2 years old), and the youngest, Prince Nehemiah, who has yet to celebrate his first birthday.
Jackie Oh, whose real name was Jacklyn Smith, departed this world at the tender age of 32. The cause of her passing was revealed to be complications arising from cosmetic surgery. She had undergone a gluteal augmentation procedure, commonly known as a “butt lift,” just days before her tragic demise. The Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s autopsy report indicated that she experienced no immediate complications during the surgery. However, in the aftermath, she complained of a headache and sought relief through ibuprofen. Tragically, her condition worsened, and she began to feel as if her head was ablaze. Despite the efforts of first responders, she slipped into unconsciousness and left this realm.
D.C. Young Fly, grief-stricken and grappling with the enormity of his loss, shared a heartfelt tribute on social media. He hailed Jackie Oh as “the greatest mother I know,” emphasizing the irreplaceable role mothers play in nurturing and protecting their families. Their paths had intersected on the set of “Wild 'N Out” in 2015, where their love blossomed amidst laughter and camaraderie. The show’s official Instagram page also paid homage to Jackie Oh, acknowledging her impact as a cherished colleague and friend.
As D.C. Young Fly faces this holiday season, he echoes a sentiment shared by many: “Mothers are definitely needed in the household.” Their nurturing spirits, like a comforting embrace, weave the fabric of family bonds, while fathers stand as steadfast protectors. In this season of reflection and remembrance, may Jackie Oh’s memory continue to inspire love, resilience, and the enduring legacy of a devoted mother.
