My Response To People Criticizing Me For Not Putting Life Jackets On My Boat Passengers 

Rickey you ain't got to explain nothing to anyone. Continue to be the great man you are.

Strong 💪🏾 Black Man!!! I have so much respect for you Rickey!!!! ❤

This Man is the true definition of a real MAN. So many women have never experienced a real MAN and don't understand what a Man looks like. All respect to you Mr Smiley.

No matter what you do in life, people are so miserable and always have negative input. Majority of the time they mad because they see something in you that they don't see in themselves or they simply envy your life!

Tell the truth Rickey thats the problem I see soo many of us are scared to talk to these young people. Keep being the way that you are Rickey

I would love for my 29 yr old Granddaughter to have the opportunity to experience the luxury you're offering these young people.

😂😂 people always got to say something negative. Most of these people can’t raise an dog right. Do you Ricky!! ❤️❤️

This is why I do not like social media. Instead of seeing the positive things about you spending time and making memories with the kids, they want to point out the negative and they be so off base. We all know how much you love to travel and be on your boat, so you know the requirements for being on the different boat sizes. Keep doing what you're doing Ricky.

You damned if you do and damned if you don't with some people 🙄 If you had done everything THEY wanted, they would complain about the color of their clothes...anything 🙄🙄

I approve this message. Mr. Smiley keep being who you are.

Rickey, you know there's a lot of miserable azz folks who don't want to see anyone happy! So many of us love and support you! So happy that in spite of the social media negativity, you still share with us! Safe travels!

I just listened to you completely don’t get upset over these people they haven’t been anywhere and can’t afford it. They’re jealous.

jealousy is the root of all evil. keep doing what you do Ricky!!! no explanation needed period!!!

Why can't people just mind their own business.......Keep being you, Mr. Rickey Smiley ❤

Maybe they didn't mean it the way Rickey is taking it. Maybe they really wanted to know if you have them available. You are a public figure, people will have good and bad opinions .No need to be so angry, I'm sure you get more positive comments than bad. Continue to be Great!!

EXACTLY RICK 🎯 MOST OF THESE FOLKS CAN'T TELL THEIR OWN GROWN CHILDREN/GRANDCHILDREN WHAT TO DO. THANKS FOR CONFIRMING MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THESE NONSENSE, ENVIOUS FOLKS👺 KEEP IT MOVING KING🖤💜🔔

Live Rickey! Don't worry about these folks. Their comments don't warrant a response.

Uncle Rick be so humble, I love it when I hear him go off and flex a little bit 😂😂

In a minute they gone be criticizing the socks you wear… people need to mind their business.

You are correct. Condolences to you and your family. Enjoy your trip. Carry on!! 👍🏽

Some of these black women are just miserable, angry hating people who can't stand to see a black man happy and enjoying life. Live your life brother and ignore those miscreants

Ricky I feel that we (black folks) continue to blame each other. Men and women against each other. You have the platform to get thè message out that we need to learn how to communicate with each other. Please do a segment on this topic. Thanks

Chile this has got to be grief sensitivity because mentioning life jackets has what to do with emasculating black men😂😂😂😂 yes I see people online just miserable and can't go without critiquing everything ,it happens all day on any and every post anyone makes famous or not,some people just swear they know more than everyone.but to say a life jacket criticism is man hating emasculation is kinda of a weird take,I don't think Rickey would have gave this the. Time of day if he was not grieving this was a trigger response and it makes me sad don't let people disturb your peace then people saying don't pay these fools no mind triggers his misogyny ya slips showing bruh

Keep doing your thing you wonderful black man because I love black men 🥰

@Rickey * Maybe they thought a sea monster would jump up out the water and over turn the boat! 😂 😂 Job well mind - ignore them.

Bravo! Well said brother. Continue doing you. Sending loads of love.

Love you Rickey, keep on doing what you do. ❤❤❤ Thank you and I am praying for the young adults. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I appreciate you very much Ricky for spreading the farherly love around. My alcoholic father was absent most of my life & I always felt like I missed out on having that bond. I now thank God that my Mom took me away from that situation & I didn't pick the same for my husband and father to my child. Blessing & respect to you!

Rickey, you are a great Man! Keep doing positive things for your family and the community and let the noise roll off your back! Stay Blessed Brotha ✊🏾

You don’t owe anybody any explanation and just keep being a great father, grandfather, uncle and mentor to these young people like you were doing. Being the best example of what a real man❤. Because the same people complain of the same people I don’t know what it is I need to get their own life and stop worrying about yours.

Captain Ricky 🛥️ they just don't know 🛥️ enjoy yourself with your loved ones have a safe trip we love you 💜 stay blessed 🙏

I’m shaking my head cause I can’t believe Rickey has to do this…I love you Rickey!

They don't know what its like cause they ain't been know were jealous people need to stop and get a life 😊😊😊.

Thank you Ricky you are coming deep from the ball sack. Keep doing what you doing my bruh.

Ricky thank you for letting these ignorant people know what time it is we need more black men such as yourself. I will continue to stand by you and with you you've done nothing wrong keep on doing what you do love you Ricky . I will always support you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The bottom of my ball sack part 😂 I was trying hard not to laugh. Tell ‘em Rickey! ❤

Facts! I've been on 10 cruises & never wore a life jacket & slept on the balcony because of the calm waters! I was scared to cruise years ago listening to others who ain't never been on a ship.

I bet them same people don’t wear them hot azz life jackets . Brotha keep doing you, and let those children be happy.

That ain’t no boat. That’s a yatch. 😂. Do your thing Rickey.

PREACH BROTHA RICKEY😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

Love the positive things you do with these young black. They need someone like you in their lives.

Say it Ricky, they need to shut up and stop being jealous a$$es. They need to mind their own business. I saw nothing wrong with the video. It's awesome to see positive stuff being done for your grandchildren, children and their friends. Keep doing you! Jealousy is real. It's none of their business at all what you have. Thank you for making the kids happy! And that's one amazing and gorgeous boat there! Now I have a goal to reach for. I wish that I could shake your hand sir for all of the positive things that you do for everyone.

I am proud of you older brother mr Ricky smiley we appreciate you for being a role model to others and keeping it real and 💯 percent love all and 🙏 for all strength 💪 and peace healing and that God will continue to bless all my all enjoy all selfs and have fun

This reminds me of Kim video when she was talking about ppl with PPP loans..this ish is hella funny... I can't stop laughing..😂😂😂😂

Loria in Enterprise, Alabama, " Rickey Smiley! You will never please negative and toxic people's, "live your life "

That's right baby let them know they're not gonna emasculate you... Because 🤎🤎🐐💞 you a Man

I understand both sides....I wouldn't have even posted a video on the water this week with the whole world captivated by the submersible story, you know somebody was gonna have something to say...ijs....if they don't see it they can't say anything 🤷🏾‍♀️

Lord have mercy! I don’t know this MAN but from what I have seen, heard, and learned from over here….I love him! 🙌🏾🙌🏾💪🏾

1. …an explanation is a courtesy---a courtesy that you owe to NO ONE! 2. …nagging azz folks got 2 places to be; in their lane, and outta your business 😒

😂 4:36 -4:47 👏🏾lord I don’t mean to laugh but people always got something to say smh..I love when I see you and the fam on the boat 😊❣️y’all have a great weekend

Rickey Smiley you will always have some miserable people that will come on your page and throw negativity your way. You do not need to prove yourself nor your boat to miserable people. Misery loves company. Rickey, Stop explaining yourself to people. You do not owe anyone an explanation period, end of discussion.

Ricky smiley man fuck them. Man I love your work I wish you would keep me in your prayers. Am in a dark place but hopefully I'll get this by.

Amen Rickey!!! Check them haters!!! You're so right about women. More men need to speak up. They're jealous of your success! God Bless You

Rickey why are you responding to people that never had a passport. Never left the country or their state. Their comments is proof they never been anywhere or experience anything. Stop having yacht conversation with fishing boat with a paddle people. Yacht travelers know better. Rickey please continue to enjoy your family and ignore the have nots.

Opps not the bottom of his ball sack....thank you for giving us a tour of your Blessings and Favor. 🚢

Hello Mr Rickey keep living your life and God’s has blessed you with your beautiful family for you to enjoy your life ❤please do not let people take your joy away so stay safe and stay healthy and strong amen ❤

Rickey don't worry about nobody running there clapper bell!(mouth).

Unsolicited advice and just disrespectful. I'm sure that everyone that was there had sense enough to put a life jacket on if they felt the need or want to. The funny thing is these are the folks that has never been outside of their hometown. Ridiculous! I agree Rickey it's usually women.

Damn that’s a bad ass boat Rickey! Man f them garden tools , they just mad cause they can’t ride in your boat! They some old school boppers!

Block these people that criticize you when you doing something positive. People forget you grieving cause it dont involve them. Do you Rickey

Rickey, I admire you for all your do. I know your ancestors are in Heaven smiling. As my grandma used to say, he was raised right. Thank you for coming with the receipts as my friend would say. Not only did you get these ladies together, but you also gave the facts and showed why life jackets were not necessary on a YACHT. I have been on a 54 foot YACHT. The only time i wore a life jacket was when I was doing my queen of the world impression!! Let's encourage each other instead of tearing someone down for doing something positive.❤❤ May God continue to bless you Rickey

SMALL MIND,SMALL THINKING,AND ALSO THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEONE CLEARLY THAT HAS NEVER BEEN ON A BOAT.......JUST WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY,THATS IT THATS ALL......

Yeah Rickey smiley shut them down i don't see nothing wrong with that . I'm quite sure all of them no how to swim being around you. that's a niece boat just keep being the good man you are🖒

You know Ricky, some people are just negative. I don't care what you do it's not going to be satisfying regardless whatever you do. Ricky continue doing you.😊
