Azealia Banks was criticized on social media for implying that Jacky Oh’s death was karma for DC Young Fly, who had previously joked about the rapper in the episode “Wild ‘N Out”.
In 2018, the 32-year-old “Anna Wintour” musician accused the cast of the Nick Cannon-created improv comedy show of mistreating her while she was appearing as a guest.
Banks accused DC, whose real name is John Whitfield, and other comedians of making color jokes about him, adding that he cried as a result of the alleged ridicule.
Although the episode was recorded over five years ago, the “212” rapper brought up the subject again when talking about 31, the “How High 2” actor, while mourning the death of his longtime partner.
“Damn, Dc Young Fly has spent years disguising his own deep-rooted hatred as jokes that point to female beauty,” she wrote on Instagram Stories Wednesday.
“Projecting your own feelings about your own ugliness on women who are totally confident in their own skin.”
When Banks cried over alleged abuse on the MTV show, she added that “these were tears of pure anger” and “definitely not a sign of weakness”.
“Because in the end. I won,” he added. “I am happy that I cried and moved on. That (sic) daughter of Jackie must also be deeply insecure about herself.
In a follow-up post, Banks said that Jacky’s death was ironic.
“And ironically, he died on May 31, 2023, in Miami, FL, exactly on my 32nd birthday,” he continued. “You s–s will learn to stop messing with me.”

Fans quickly criticized Banks online for her “insensitive” remarks, tweeting, “Azealia Banks is sick. Talking about someone’s deceased partner because you hurt your feelings on a show that was staged 4 years ago is very low.
“Azealia Banks literally started with DC Young Fly, then went crazy when she fried him in the back. TO A CRISP. And is that why he’s celebrating the death of his child’s mother? Shorty’s condition is not good” added another.
“Azealia Banks is a prime example of someone who wastes their life because what is that? Talking bad about DC Young Fly & Jackie because you can’t handle a joke… crazy!!” a third critic wrote.
“I don’t believe in cancellation culture but let’s go ahead and cancel the azealia banks… Anyone who can make such insensitive comments about a man who has just lost the love of his life/the mother of his children doesn’t deserve a platform’s spotlight. ten cents from any of us” another commenter said.
Banks’ comments came a week after DC’s longtime partner Jacky Oh – real name Jacklyn Smith – died in Miami at age 33.
The family of the former “Wild ‘N Out” girl released a statement confirming that she died on May 31.
The Smith family said, “It is with our sad (sic) hearts that Jakclyn aka MsJackyOh passed away on Wednesday, May 31, 2023.” “Our family is still processing this very tragic and unexpected loss; Please, we ask that you give us privacy during this time.”
Days before Jacky’s shocking death, Dr. She had gone to the Sunshine State to do a “mom makeover” with Zachary Okhah.
In a now-deleted post, Jacky posed next to the surgeon wearing a disposable medical gown.
“Dr. I’m getting ready for my mom makeover with Zach!! Stay tuned to my YouTube for full disclosure!” The title read, according to a screenshot obtained by Hollywood Unlocked.
Jacky’s cause of death has not yet been revealed.
DC and the founder of J Nova lip gloss met on the set of “Wild ‘N Out” in 2015.
They share three children together: their daughter Nova and Nala and her son Prince, born last year.
