If it’s a new plant it’s probably just adjusting you can cut them off especially if it’s just the tiny leaves at the bottom. Mine had yellow bottom leaves when I brought it home and it’s doing great now. If it’s not new it’s usually from under or over watering I believe.

they could just be old leaves dying off! you could also check if the pot it’s in is too small since it looks like kind of a big monstera for that size of pot
