Looks like it will drop on its own any day now. It wouldn’t hurt to cut it though if it’s bugging you

I usually chop mine lower on the stem, just because it’s draining energy from the rest of the plant and will die off anyways

It’s up to you. The plant will suck out the energy from a leaf that’s falling off, so some people like to leave them on, but dying leaves might attract pests.

Please cut it
