Jacky Oh, who was born Jacklyn Smith, died in Miami earlier this month at age 32. She was found unresponsive in her hotel room after returning from getting a mommy makeover, a type of plastic surgery. The couple shared three children together: Nova, 6, Nala, 2, and Prince’Nehemiah, 10 months.

DC Young Fly said that while he doesn’t plan to share his emotions publicly and would “rather show positivity,” he acknowledged that he’s been grieving on his own.

“We human, we emotional — people want to see you cry, but I’m just not gonna’ record myself crying and show you I’m crying,” the 31-year-old Atlanta native said. “I cry all the time.”

He had echoed similar sentiments of his Christian faith bringing him through the hardship during his eulogy at his partner’s funeral. After admitting that he hasn’t had the energy to respond to the texts and posts of grief and support, he said it’s God that’s been giving him the strength to function.

“So when you see me, please understand that it’s not me, I don’t have the energy or strength to deal with none of you,” he said. “When you see me, when a smile is on my face and I’m kickin’ it and I’m happy, the higher power granted me the strength to continue to keep going.”
