Over the weekend, it was confirmed in a post to her 5.4 million IG followers that popular OnlyFans model Diana Deets, who is better knowns as “Coconut Kitty,” was found dead in an apparent suicide. Her age is still yet to be confirmed.

The post read, “It’s unfair. Life is unfair. We wish you guys could get to know her the way her friends and family did. See, she was such a light to this world. Truly she was always glowing. You could never slow that girl down. She was so hard headed and strong, but also just so kind with the biggest heart we have ever known. She was always trying to lift everyone up around her. She wanted everyone to win.” 

Deets claimed to be 24 years old for many years and in an exposé by Rolling Stone, it was discovered that she edited her photos considerably, which led to allegations that she was baiting pedophiles. In the article, Deets related the creation of her Coconut Kitty character to her visual art, explaining, “I wanted to make something that looked like a real-life anime character, small chin, big eyes, that was made in my likeness, because I use a picture of myself and I edit it. I just wanted to create a fantasy, just a character. And I was able to hide my identity and still make money off my art.” 

Deets was also accused of luring younger women to join OnlyFans, but in her response stated, “I wouldn’t do anything in an unsafe environment, and I wouldn’t attend myself if I was unsafe. And I wouldn’t do that to someone else if it was unsafe for them.”

OnlyFans Model “Coconut Kitty” Commits Suicide Following Pedo-Baiting Allegations

by

On February 12th, Diana Deets (known online as “Coconut Kitty”), committed suicide. The OnlyFans model, who also was a mother, had received backlash after editing her photos to look child-like. According to the New York Post, Deets had previously suffered from depression. Her mental state may have been triggered further by the negative comments she received in light of the “pedo-baiting” allegations.

In a 2021 interview with Rolling Stone, Deets mentioned, “I did get tired of people commenting on my looks when I was camming. It kinda bothered me.” The magazine notes that the content creator, who also worked as an artist, initially had an interest in selling acrylic paintings. “I was like, ‘How can I make money off my art?’ and that’s how I decided to do digital art,” she explained to the outlet, “and that’s how I created Coconut Kitty.”

“Coconut Kitty” Received Backlash For Childlike Edits

“Coconut Kitty” was derived from Deets’s desire to create a “real-life anime” character. As a result, the Californian mom transformed her photos to reflect a small chin and big eyes. “I just wanted to create a fantasy, just a character,” Deets shared, “and I was able to hide my identity and still make money off my art.”

Still, the “fantasy” created by the OF model was quickly criticized, with anti-porn advocate Kate Oseen accusing Deets of “grooming,” as reported by Rolling Stone. Despite the controversy that Deets’ career had stirred up, her friends and family mourn their loss. A statement addressed to “all lovers and fans of Coconut” was posted on the late performer’s Instagram account to inform her 5.4 million followers of her death.

You could never slow that girl down.” The statement continued to recognize Deet’s upbeat attitude, noting how she always wanted the best for everyone.

“She was so hard-headed and strong, but also just so kind with the biggest heart we have ever known,” read the statement. “She was always trying to lift everyone up around her.” Our thoughts are with Diana Deets’ loved ones at this time. RIP.

Ab-Soul Opens Up About Surviving Suicide Attempt

by

2022 turned out to be a highly productive year for the TDE camp but Ab-Soul is coming to close things out on a high note.

Though the roster typically has a few releases throughout the year, the heavy hitters came out to play in 2022. Kendrick Lamar emerged with his critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. On Friday, SZA finally came through with the follow-up to CTRL.

However, the TDE camp isn’t done yet. Ab-Soul is currently revving up for the release of his upcoming album, Herbert which drops this Friday. It marks his first release in six years, which undoubtedly had fans excited.

Ab-Soul’s opened up about his mental health in the past but in the song and video for “Do Better,” he speaks directly on depression. However, the video also suggests that the Control System artist also survived a suicide attempt.

During an interview with Rolling Stone, the rapper admitted that he nearly took his own life. Without going into too much detail, he said that he wrote much of the album prior to the attempt.

“Most of what you’ve heard, I wrote before … it,” Ab-Soul said. “I just wanna make it clear: You see me smiling, but it’s not funny. I think that’s just my way of healing from it.”

Still, he said that he hopes his testimony can bring hope to others so they don’t feel like they’re going through their own issues alone.

“Me sharing my testimony — if it doesn’t help, it might let you know you’re not the only one going through it,” he said. “That’s what ultimately gives me the courage to put it out there.”

Ab-Soul’s new album, Herbert is due out on December 16th. The rapper’s upcoming project includes appearances from Russ, Joey Bada$$, Punch, and more. He also has production from James Blake, DJ Premier, and others.
