DaBaby is one of hip-hop’s most active and entertaining social media users, but since the recent death of his older brother, the North Carolina rapper has been understandably quiet during his time of mourning. He’s only tweeted a couple of times, and now it appears DaBaby has deleted his Instagram page.

DaBaby’s IG page, which had 15 million followers at last count, cannot be found currently. It comes in the wake of his brother, Glenn Johnson, taking his own life at 34 years old. Johnson had struggled with mental health issues, which DaBaby has addressed in his music. DaBaby’s most recent tweet was a call for mental health awareness.
