Jacky Oh, the longtime partner of “Wild ‘N Out” star D.C. Young Fly, had reportedly traveled to Miami for a “mommy makeover” before her sudden death.
In a since-deleted post, the former “Wild ‘N Out” girl had posed alongside popular surgeon Dr. Zachary Okhah before she was set to go under the knife.
“Getting ready for my mommy makeover with Dr. Zach!! Stay tuned to my YouTube for the full reveal!” the caption read, according to a screenshot obtained by Hollywood Unlocked.
