“I looked in the mirror and said, damn I need to lose some damn weight, because my stomach lookin’ crazy, but ya know it happens, I had a baby,” she said.
My heart hurts for my young brother [DC Young Fly] and his children, wrote D.L. Hughley in an Instagram post in response to the news. Only a small portion of the young brother that you see on television.
He is a young man of religion who is sturdy, robust, and dedicated. He’s a family man, which makes this very painful. We adore you, and my family and I send you and your family all the love and support we can muster during this difficult time. Keep your faith strong, brother.
Cardi B posted a picture of Jacky and her three kids to her Instagram stories along with the caption, “My heart hurt for them beautiful babies.”
