The strength of you making this video. I can't Imagine. We love you Rickey

[@MISNM0]

Agreed. Completely.

[@kkhaze]

FACTS THOUGH 🤞🏾🫶🏾💪🏾💯💯

[@BreezeWithAfrica]

I find it odd that he is able to get on here the second day. It’s all acting to me he doesn’t seem if he really loved him. My thoughts.

[@bernardowens5052]

There always will be a negative comment some where

[@DIGISamIam]

Riiiight!!! Whew… I definitely got my prayers up for him and his family. So 💔

[@asuniqueasthespellingofmyn1124]

He needs an ear. We can give him several. We can hold space. We can pray. We can give love. He's reaching out. Let us be there for him- he has been here for us for YEARS. Ricky, we love you man. Truly.

[@Anthonyjt12]

Man, take care of yourself and your family. Don't worry about informing everyone else.

[@PeterBlackman-qy4is]

Rickey, my heart goes out to you. I lost my son 3 years ago, he was only 18, to fentanyl poisoning. One thing that helped me was talking to other people with similar stories - no one else understands. Everyone finds their own way through it. It will never go away, but I promise you it will get better. With love in my heart, I wish you the best.

[@MsVeeTheVisionary]

Same here on May 1, 2020 I lost my son.

Thirty years ago I buried my 12 year old. I was on antidepressants for 20 years. My husband took care of things as I was broken. At some point people will tell you to get over but a parent never gets over it. You gotta go through it. Your heart will be broken forever but it will slowly get better. Prayers to your family.

[@lscrap9567]

I just buried my 24 year old daughter as she battled with depression after joining AKA, they messed her up mentally and I watched her suffer. I wrote to Rickey smiley a month ago to see I'd he would help me get the word out. I came home to that shocking picture that will never leave my head. I hate hea going through this now.

[@lscrap9567]

My prayers are with you too.

[@timothyblount2908]

@@lscrap9567 Wow!.. My sincere condolences and thoughts go out to you and your family. When I became a sophomore at Alabama State University, the Alpha fraternity tried to get me to join.

There’s no greater pain than a parent losing a child 😔 we are praying for you and your family sweetheart 🙏🏽

[@keyshots4u2]

For those that are commenting that he should go and be with his family, leave him alone and let him grieve his way. Him coming on here and talking about what he is feeling is his way of letting out those feelings that he just don't understand and is trying to cope with right now. He needs to express his feelings. Rickey is genuine and everything that I see in him and hear in his voice is real. Just pray for him and Brandon mother and the other siblings. This is not easy on anyone. They all need our prayers.

[@j-tastic]

Very well said. Plus this video is literally less than 12 minutes. So many judgmental people. He took less than 12 min to express to his fans, supporters, etc; how he is doing/feeling. Let this man grieve the way he needs to.

My deepest Condolences on the loss of your son. It is tough to imagine what you're going through. My mother used to tell me that the loss of a child is unbearable and it's hard to bury a child, but I pray for your strength and comfort in our Creator during this time. 🙏🙏

Watching this has me in tears. There’s no words to say when losing a child. I remember when my two uncles died 3 weeks apart and people kept telling my grandmother i understand your pain. And she made a point. No you don’t. You can’t. Losing a child is a different level so my prayers to you Rickey. Even in your pain you’re thinking more about others.
