DaBaby sent up a prayer to God to watch over his family during their time of bereavement over the death of his brother, but also added, “death don’t phase me at all.”
The Charlotte-raised rapper, born Jonathan Lyndale Kirk, is mourning the passing of his older brother, Glenn Johnson, who apparently took his own life with a handgun on Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 3, 2020, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department told the Charlotte Observer.
Tuesday night, DaBaby, 28, left this simple message as the shock began to settle in:
Damn bruh 💔

Earlier, DaBaby implored his fans to stay connected to their loved ones and check on them periodically, even if it’s just a phone call.
“Good morning, check on your people,” he said on Twitter. “Somebody probably just want to you call and say ‘wassup bruh, you straight?’ Do that.”
