Rickey Smiley, a comedian famous for hosting the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, was on the receiving end of controversial claims made by Katt Williams on Club Shay Shay. Like other celebrities mentioned by Katt, Smiley responded, saying the reaction to Katt’s interview hurt him more than Katt’s comments. 

Rickey Smiley is not married; he divorced Brenda Morris after 12 years of marriage

Rickey Smiley is not married or dating. The radio personality claims there’s no space in his life for a relationship. 

Smiley told Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay that his marriage to Brenda Morris broke down after his career took off. He added that his career doesn’t allow him to date. “It’s just hard to have a relationship; you are all over the place,” Smiley stated. He stated that it would require divine intervention for him to start dating. 

Smiley and Brenda Morris welcomed four children: Brandon, D’Essence, Aaryn, and Malik. Brandon died in January 2023 of a drug overdose. “I just have bad news this morning. My son, Brandon Smiley, passed away this morning. Pray for my son’s mother and my son’s siblings, pray for my son and my daughter, everybody that was raised with Brandon,” Smiley told his Instagram followers on January 29, 2023.
