LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: DC Young Fly is still shattered from the tragic death of his girlfriend, Jacky Oh. The 'Wild 'n Out' star opened up about his agony, saying that he tries his best to hide his grief in front of their children, Nova, 6, Nala, 2, and Prince'Nehemiah, 10 months, but bawls his eyes out behind closed doors to mourn the loss of the 33-year-old, who died on May 31. 

"God is the greatest," he told TMZ during a June 28 outing in New York City. "He's granting me the strength to keep going. I gotta take care of my babies. That's the key to life. Just gotta keep going, stay prayed up, and never let the tragedies and the stuff that you going through bring you down."
