Azealia Banks was slammed for implying Jacky Oh’s death was karmic retribution for D.C. Young Fly after a 2018 ‘Wild ‘N Out’ rap battle left Banks scorned.

Jacky Oh, born Jacklyn Smith, was staying at the Homewood Suites by Hilton Miami Downtown/Brickell where she was found unresponsive on the evening of May 31, according to a Miami Police Department incident report obtained by The Times.

Police were dispatched and she was transported to Mercy Hospital where, despite resuscitation efforts, she was pronounced dead shortly before midnight. The case is still under investigation.

The medical examiner on Thursday told The Times that Jacky Oh’s cause of death has yet to be determined.
