Who Was Dazhariaa Quint Noyes? A Look Into The 18-Year-Old TikTok Star's Life And Apparent Suicide
On Tuesday, the sad news broke that TikTok star Dazhariaa Quint Noyes, otherwise known as bxbygirldee or Dee, had died at the age of 18.
Her father Raheem Alla confirmed her death on TikTok by posting a montage of pictures of his daughter as he thanked everyone for their “love and support.”
“Unfortunately she is no longer with us and has gone to a better place,” he wrote.
Alla seemed to imply that his daughter took her own life on a GoFundMe page he shared.
“She was my little best friend and I wasn’t prepared in no way, to bury my child. She was so happy, and would be so excited to see me when I come home from being on the road,” the heartbroken father wrote on the page, which currently has $15,000 fundraising goal. “I only wish she would have spoken to me about her stress and the thoughts of suicide. We could work thru this. I only want to hold you again my little jelly bean. Now I come home and your [sic] no longer gonna be there waiting for me. I have to let you fly with the angels. Daddy love you.”
