Ricky Smiley is in so much pain. I pray God continually comforts him with peace and rest .
Ricky is full of guilt for how he treated his son. He has to be honest about his nasty attitude. He keeps talking about old school discipline look where it has got him. He made mistakes own it. Brandon’s sister spoke out about it. His son felt like he couldn’t please Ricky…
1:18🎯 Sending love and prayers to him and his family 🙏🏽❤️
Blessings Tamara and Rickey! Rickey you are correct in how you raise your kids and relative with a firm hand and loving heart. Far too many feel entitlement to things they don’t deserve or never worked for. Keep your eyes on the Sparrow😇🙏🏽😍❣️💜💜💜
My condolences to Rickey Smiley’s family.
I love Rickey♥️
Prayers and love to Rickey Smiley and his family! RIP to his son Brandon😢. God bless you and comfort you🙏❤

You could tell it took a lot for him to not break down. He really needs more time🙏🏿🙏🏿
Hes all over the tv now smdh. He didnt speak about this before his death
❤god bless you and your family
Ricky is fully aware of the pressure he placed on Brandon and other so called niece's and nefrews. It's sad that he isn't willing to admit it. Yet, Ricky used his (no nonsense/raised by his grandparents approach) as an example in child rearing (?) meanwhile he was out hustling to become a comedian. He was (supposedly aware) that Brandon was his son supposedly around 6yrs old. Yet the step dad stated that Brandon started living with Ricky in his early teens. By that time Ricky SUPPOSEDLY was raising Malik, his sister and several other children. Meanwhile, RICKY was out on the road working at his comedic craft. Just who was really taking care of the kids. I call bull, on his fake persona, trying to manipulate folks as a means of profit!
Hold on to God’s hand Ricky I am praying for you
🙏🙏Amen
😥😥😥
That’s right Rickey, parenting is not a popularity contest.
I admire his strength 🙏🏾 God bless him and his family.
I love it. “Parenting is not a popularity contest “❤️❤️
God Bless and keep Rickey and the family
Prayers for Rickey ! It’s so cute how he says the “pink” elephant in the room, drunk people see “pink” elephants 😅. It’s just an elephant in the room when there is an obvious topic looming , love you Rickey 🙏🏽
Wow Rickey! So selfless. God bless you for thinking of others during your time of need🙏 And Tamron you shared some absolutely beautiful words for Rickey. God bless you.
I love Rickey Smiley, he in my mind is my son's Omega Godfather, but I can hear in his voice the pain and I am truly hurting with this man. May you and your family find some peace and I am Praying for you all.
Prayers for you Ricky,. May God continue to Bless you 🙏🏽
😇♥️🙏RICK : OUR “HEARTS” PRAY 🙏 THAT GOD’S WORD STILL STICKS & STAYS WITH YOU (FOREVER)—- RECALL : THOSE THAT “ENRICHES” OTHERS, SHALL THEMSELVES BE “ENRICHED!!!”—- “LAUGHTER DOETH ‘GOOD’ LIKE A “MEDICINE.”♥️🙏🙏🙏♥️😇
My condolences 🙏🏿 One day at a time. I truly understand the feeling of losing a child because I lost my daughter and granddaughter. Keep the faith, keep pushing and keep trusting God❤
