Who was DJ D Baby? Cause of death explored
As mentioned earlier, DJ D Baby died after reportedly falling off her balcony. Her partner Nisha Jackson spoke in detail about the incident in a Facebook post:
“I’ve decided to break my silence not necessarily for you all, but for she and I. I’ve been very low and hurting deeply. This is coming from my heart. I love Darian with everything in me. I was trying to protect her.”
The post continued:
“She ran to the patio (never in a million years would I have a reason to think that the next actions would follow)… once she she climbed on the patio chair I sprinted from the door to her but she fell over before I could save her. I literally saw and heard her fall before my eyes.”
DJ D Baby, aka Darian Lewis, was a well-known DJ and entrepreneur from Houston, Texas. She developed an interest in DJ-ing when she was in high school and learned the skill as a student at Texas Southern University. She also received equipment for the same from her family following her graduation.
Lewis mentioned in an interview:
“I just introduced myself as DJ D Baby. The crazy part about it is, at the time, I could barely DJ. I saw going to college as a way to reinvent myself and start a new journey. The rest is history in the making.”
She soon began booking events and created her network of connections in the industry. Lewis revealed that the hardest aspect of her career at the time was being a woman in the male-dominated club music scene.
She was proud to be the youngest female DJ in Houston, making a name for herself in a short period of time. Her events became immensely popular, with her recent birthday party attracting many people. Apart from being a successful DJ, she also opened a Houston business that sold hookahs called The Hookah Heroes.
Lewis’ net worth was estimated to be around $60,000, most of which could be attributed to her career as a DJ. Not only did she bag several sponsorship and brand endorsement contracts, but she also performed at many events.
