The BET Media Group extends our sincere condolences to the Smith family, DC Young Fly, B Simone, Nick Cannon, and all friends who loved and cared for Jacky Oh during this difficult time."
“Dear Twin… I love you. Words can’t even describe what I feel. The Thought of trying to adjust to life without is so unreal,” Jacky Oh’s best friend Leticia Gardner shared on Instagram.
