Jacky Oh Is Just a Nickname

People have wondered whether or not the multitalented social media star's name is her real name, but in September of 2017, she set the record straight by stating that "Jacky" is her real name and "Oh" is just a moniker.

She explained where her catchy nickname came from, saying that someone in college used to call her "Jacky Oh," and she liked how it sounded to her ears. She has used the name ever since.

Some of Jacky's fans have also thought she is a white woman because of her unique features, but she clarified that she is biracial because she was born to a white mother and an African-American father.

She Grew up with a Single Father

Despite her mixed ethnicity, Jacky said she was raised entirely by her single father and was surrounded by her aunts, uncles, and cousins who are of African American descent. She admitted she was never around her mother's family.

Jacky had only a few recollections of her mother. She said that her mother used to visit frequently when she was younger, but as time progressed, they grew distant as her mother stopped seeing her.

As a result of her mother's absence, Jacky has formed a "special bond" with her father, with whom she has grown increasingly close. She considers her father her best friend because they can talk about anything.

Jacky is no stranger to being mistaken for white by the public. She pointed out the "issue" with social media, stating that netizens would tell her what she should and should not do because they believed she was not Black.

She also said some online users would persist in judging her, particularly in her dating life. People dislike seeing Black men and White women together, according to Jacky. She said: "But I'm Black, all of it shouldn't even matter."
