My fiddle plant has some leaves that are partially dry. Should I cut them off and what causes it?

I know, Planta, AI, and other people on this site who probably know more than I do would say leave them because they will fall off when they’re ready to and until they do, they can photosynthesis for the plant. But personally, I think I would cut them off because I just like seeing my plant all green and healthy.

FLF are fussy, any changes lately? How much sun? I would leave them they will fall off on their own.
