DaBaby's brother has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound ... according to sources with direct knowledge of the tragedy.
TMZ's learned the rapper's older brother, Glenn Johnson, took his own life Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina. Glenn had posted a video of himself earlier in the day in a car with a gun, and he was visibly upset and crying.

We're told Johnson is survived by 3 daughters and a son.
DaBaby just broke his silence on the passing of his brother, posting lyrics from his song "Intro" which gave fans a peek into his brother's struggles, "My brother be thinkin' that we don't love him and let him struggle like we ain't family. Like I won't give up all I got to see you, n****."

And, that’s what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get in there and give fans a fight they’ll remember for the rest of their lives."

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A judge in Cleveland on Monday tossed professional boxer Adrien Broner in jail after holding him in contempt of court as part of a civil lawsuit filed by a woman he assaulted at a nightclub in 2018.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Nancy Margaret Russo found the 31-year-old Broner failed to cooperate with multiple deadlines she set for him to hand over documents and other evidence showing why he has not been able to pay the more than $800,000 judgment the judge ordered him to pay the woman in December.
Russo cited an Instagram video posted this week showing Broner handling large stacks of money after saying in an Oct. 5 court filing in that he had just over $13 in cash. Russo ordered Broner to remain in jail until he provides complete and truthful information about his finances to the woman’s attorney, Subodh Chandra and the Chandra Law Firm.
“Mr. Broner has continually defied every court ordered I’ve given,” Russo said during the hearing. “The jig is up today.”
Russo set a Wednesday hearing for Broner and his attorney, Stanley Jackson, to show they are complying in the case, and Cuyahoga County sheriff’s deputies placed Broner in handcuffs and led him out of the courtroom.
Broner, who last boxed in January 2019, said he is preparing for a fight scheduled in January that will bring him "a significant purse” and he expects to be able to pay the judgment in full after the fight.
Broner was originally charged in November 2018 with gross sexual imposition, a fourth-degree felony, misdemeanor sexual imposition and abduction, a third-degree felony, after a then-35-year-old Wickliffe woman accused him of sexually assaulting her at a nightclub in Cleveland’s Warehouse District neighborhood during the 2018 NBA Finals.
Broner pleaded guilty in April 2019 to assault and unlawful restraint, both misdemeanors, and Judge Sherrie Miday placed him on probation for two years. He was arrested in Miami in March on drunken-driving charges, and Miday in August sentenced Broner to seven days in jail for violating his probation.
The woman filed a civil lawsuit against him, and Broner did not hire a lawyer or show up to any court hearings, resulting in Russo ruling in the woman’s favor. Chandra’s firm then requested information about his finances after he didn’t pay the judgment, and ordered him to supply the information. The coronavirus pandemic pushed hearings back several months, and Russo ultimately ordered Broner to hand over the information before he was set to sit for a deposition scheduled last Friday.
Chandra said the information Broner and Jackson handed over before the deposition was incomplete and insufficient to the point he could not prepare questions for a deposition. Russo set Monday’s hearing for Broner and Jackson to show they should not both be held in contempt of court.
SUDDEN VALLEY, Wash. - The woman who shot and killed her twin 7-year-old daughters before turning the gun on herself had planned the killing for several days and gave the children a "large amount" of sedatives before she shot them, the Whatcom County sheriff said.
Sheriff Bill Elfo said his office is taking the unusual step of releasing new information about the unspeakable tragedy because "it has deeply impacted our community."
The scene unfolded Saturday afternoon (Oct. 24), when deputies responded to a call from someone at a multi-level residence who said he found his landlord and her two children dead in an upstairs bedroom.
Investigators who responded to the home outside of Bellingham determined that the children's mother, 55-year-old Michele Boudreau Deegan, shot her twin 7-year-old daughters while they were sleeping and then shot herself.
Detectives said she killed her children and herself amid a custody dispute. It happened four days after a judge granted joint custody to Boudreau and her estranged husband.
"Ms. Boudreau planned this event over the course of several days prior to the discovery of the bodies," the sheriff's office siad. "She clearly stated her suicidal ideations and that she would never leave her daughters alone without her."
Her estranged husband has a strong alibi, Elfo said, and he's been ruled out as having any involvement in the shooting.
An autopsy showed the children were given sedatives that "probably rendered them incoherent at the time of the incident."

Cardi B is officially calling off her split from Offset.
The "WAP" rapper's divorce case against her husband was "dismissed without prejudice" on Monday and is now closed, ET can confirm.
Cardi initially filed for divorce from Offset in September. The "I Like It" rapper addressed their split on social media, sharing that she was just tired of arguing so much.
"At the end of the day, I decided I wanted to leave," she told viewers on her OnlyFans account, according to multiple reports. "I didn't wait until he cheated on me again. I didn't wait [for] another controversy with him being involved. I decided to leave. If I wanted to stay, I could have stayed. I decided to leave."
However, about a month later, the estranged couple were photographed kissing while celebrating Cardi's birthday in Las Vegas, and going to a strip club in Atlanta together the following week.
Cardi ultimately told fans that she and her husband -- who share a 2-year-old daughter, Kulture -- had gotten back together, saying that she decided to file for divorce to teach the Migos rapper "a lesson."
"If I take a break from my n**** and I decide to work things out, that's regular relationship s**t," she said in a voice message on social media. "If I want to go to an extreme to teach a n**** a f**king lesson and f**king file for divorce, I can do that. It's my life."
"If that divorce s**t didn't went through the court, y'all wouldn't even never knew what the f**k was going on," she added. "So please stop."
Following their reconciliation going public, Cardi admitted that she had missed Offset. "It's hard not to talk to your best friend. You know what I'm saying? It's really hard not to talk to your best friend," she said on Instagram Live.
She also admitted that there are issues in their relationship, noting that the pair are "two young motherf**kers that got married early. That's just what we are. We're no different than y'all's dysfunctional a** relationships."
(CNN) Amber Pflughoeft beamed with pride as she filled out her ballot for the first time last month.
A 20-year-old who'd been fighting bone cancer for a decade, she was fascinated with politics, her mother Tiffany Pflughoeft remembered. And after spending the last midterm election in the hospital following a bone marrow transplant, she was determined to vote this year.
But just a few days after she mailed in her ballot, Amber's condition took a sudden turn for the worse. She went back to the hospital and died in late September.
Now, her ballot will be thrown out under Wisconsin election law. She is one of several dozen Wisconsinites whose votes will be canceled because they passed away after voting early, according to state Elections Commission data provided to CNN through a public records request.
"She was so excited about it," Tiffany said this week. "She died on a Monday, but on Saturday, when she could still talk, she was telling all the nurses and doctors, 'I voted.'"
"We never realized it wouldn't count," she said.
States around the country are divided on whether to count votes from people who cast an early ballot and then die before Election Day. At least a dozen states allow it, more than a dozen others reject those votes, and laws in other states are unclear, recent research from the National Conference of State Legislatures found.
Among the most crucial swing states, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania don't count early ballots cast by voters who die before Election Day, while Arizona, Florida, Georgia and Ohio do, according to the NCSL and state elections officials.
