DaBaby Shares Message Following Brother’s Death
DaBaby is publicly coping with the tragic death of his brother.
Glen Johnson, the rapper’s older brother, passed away from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head this week. We’re sending our deepest and sincerest condolences to DaBaby’s family, who is dealing with yet another loss following the death of the artist’s father, who died last year.
On “INTRO”, DaBaby spoke about his family, explaining how he found out about his father’s passing and also touching on his brother’s mental health.
“My brother be thinkin’ that we don’t love him and let him struggle like we ain’t family,” says DaBaby on the song. “Like I won’t give up all I got to see you happy, n***a.”
This morning, Baby urged his fans to reach out to their family members and friends, sharing a video message on Instagram Stories.
“Good morning, check on your people,” said the rapper, clearly shaken up over the news of his brother’s passing. “Somebody probably wants you to call them and say, wassup, are you straight? Do that.”
It was revealed yesterday that Glen Johnson had taken his own life, reportedly uploading a video of him in distress, holding a firearm. As DaBaby suggested, reach out to somebody you love today. You may not know what they’re going through.

Billy Chuck Da Goat finds his flow on new release “Vibez”
Billy Chuck Da Goat’s latest release, “Vibez,” has a laid-back, hypnotic bounce that makes it easy to listen to without ever feeling empty. It makes a place where calmness and quiet confidence come together.
“Vibez” was made on purpose, but it also sounds simple. Billy Chuck’s smooth delivery flows through the production without rushing or pushing anything. Instead, he lets the rhythm breathe, allowing people to get into the song at their own pace. This laid-back energy is the best part of the song, nothing feels forced, which is exactly what it’s trying to do.
The track changes to fit whatever you need it for, like a late-night drive, a focused workout, or a way to unwind after a long day. It has a quiet edge of confidence, it’s not loud or bragging, but it’s steady and sure of itself.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”
François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.
François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.
The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.
“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
