There was a DJ who became widely known after sharing his final moments on Instagram, capturing the attention of many online. This tragic event took place on October 26th, 2014, when he jumped into the Detroit River and lost his life. The DJ, whose real name was Billy Watts, had deep roots in the city he called home—Detroit, Michigan. Before all the attention, he was just a young man growing up and attending Renaissance High School in Detroit. Over time, the DJ gained a following, but it was his heartbreaking story that ultimately made headlines. Even though his life ended too soon, people still remember the DJ and the impact he left behind. The DJ’s journey—from being Billy Watts to becoming a public figure—remains a somber reminder of mental health struggles.
He had actually put out a mixtape not long before his passing, and if you listen closely, certain tracks included lyrics where he subtly hinted at his plans. It’s kind of eerie in hindsight, really—there were moments on that mixtape where he seemed to foreshadow what was coming. He wasn’t always explicit, but if you pay attention, the clues were there. A lot of fans went back to replay those songs after hearing the news, trying to make sense of what he might have been trying to say. He clearly used his music as a way to express things he couldn’t say outright, and that mixtape, in particular, felt more personal than most. He even dropped hints in the verses that only close listeners would catch.
