Ms Jacky Oh! and DC Young Fly reportedly met in Washington, DC, in 2015 while she was being featured as one of the women on MTV’s hit show, Wild ‘N Out. While DC Young Fly remains one of the show’s biggest stars, Ms Jacky Oh! left the show and went on to launch her own lip gloss line, J Nova Collection.
Although the two had never married, they remained a couple and had three children together: two daughters, Nova and Nala, and one son, Prince, who was born last year.
In the days following her death, a police report obtained by the entertainment outlet showed that authorities were “dispatched…in reference to an unresponsive female.” She was transported the Mercy Hospital where she was later pronounced dead “despite resuscitative efforts,” according to the report.
