A popular sports TikToker is under fire for his comments about recently deceased Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson.

On Saturday morning, Jackson and two of his friends passed away after they were hit by a speeding car changing lanes that caused them to veer off the road and crash into tree trunks.

Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson and two former college football players were killed in a car crash overnight, according to Maryland State Police. Jackson was 24.

Jackson died after a three-car crash that occurred at 3:14 a.m. Saturday in Prince George’s County, according to police. Isaiah Hazel and Anthony Lytton Jr. — the two former players who were high school teammates of Jackson’s — were also killed in the crash, police said.

Police said Hazel was driving a Dodge Charger with Jackson in the passenger seat when their car was struck by an Infiniti Q50 attempting to change lanes at a high speed. The Charger left the road and struck multiple tree stumps.

According to police, Jackson and Hazel were pronounced dead at the scene, while Lytton was transported to a hospital before being pronounced dead by hospital personnel.

Neither the driver of the Infiniti Q50 nor her two passengers or the driver of the third vehicle was injured. Investigators believe alcohol may have played a role in the crash, police said, adding that charges are pending.

Sports TikToker RicoKnows, who boasts 180,000 followers on the app, proceeded to bash Jackson over his “poor decision making” in a viral video that has since been made private.

“When I talked to former teammates who played with Khyree Jackson, they all had the same kind of message, which is he is an immensely talented person, terrible person, character-wise, but he is immensely challenged on the football field, for me, I’m not going to support somebody like that…”

“I don’t know the details of his car accident, so I’m not going to sit here and say that I was right in any regard, I’m just going to say that decision-making is essential, not going out at night is essential, not driving in dangerous times, all that stuff is decision making. you are the end result of your own decision making.”

RicoKnows went on to bash Jackson’s character in the second half of his video to justify his take.

“I saw the post on Twitter where everyone is saying ‘all I heard was good things about this man, he made it from working in a deli, he had no interest coming out of high school’…the reason he had to be at a deli and the reason nobody had interest in him is because he was kicked out of four different universities for substandard conduct…but for the last 8 months he managed to do the right things, hoped for the best but it didn’t work out”

“If you live fast and make poor decisions, you’re going to die fast, and you are the end result of your own decisions”

The TikToker has seen his comments blow up with people how terrible his take is and it’s probably a matter of time until he apologizes for his insensitive comments.
