Ricky, stop trying make 'standing ovation' happen. It's not going to happen. It was a funeral or homegoing. Pick one.

Is his little TV show about to get cancelled? Didn't he ask for privacy during his time of grief? Church Lady Smiley have a seat and stay off the net. We don't need to see you crying because your already ugly enough without the crying face.

Clout chasing, attention wh*ring, etc. at a d*ng funeral. We as society have reached a record low!

He died so young. What happened to him?

I heard he committed suicide. It feels like Ricky is draining this for attention. I know we all grieve different but somethings you just do off the net and grieving is one of them. It makes people uncomfortable.

Agree with all y'all...He tweeted for people to stop texting him yet here he is posting...if it was suicide he should use his platform for prevention.
Can someone in ATL confirm what happened to Latosha Brown son (Black Voters matter)....was his death suicide too?

I thought I was the only one that thought it was so strange how he kept coming on the net to give us every little detail. Just felt strange even for social media

This man has loss his son. Allow him to process and grieve however he see fit. That's the problem with "our people". We are the worse critics of one another than any race on the planet.

I like Standing Ovation. I like how he picked Opening act and closing act. I like the idea of making a persons passing a more positive thing than a negative thing. Especially if you're Christian.

Let people grieve in peace and on their own terms. They have to live with the consequences. Their grief, not mine.

@MistyL, He asked for privacy Miss Thang. This is not privacy. Get your information correct before letting us have it.

Like I said @Anonymous, allow this man and anyone else to grieve how they see fit. Is he "ACTING SAD because his son died? I don't think so. If he decides to shake his ass on YouTube, that's HIS business! Now....moving on!
