It may just be retiring the old leaves. Check the roots for ailments, any signs of pests. If none exist I would leave them as the plant can use the green parts for energy.

Thank you 😀. I checked and there are no pests or root rot as I repotted it two weeks ago and took some of the babies out and put in a smaller pot. I’ll leave it as you recommended. 🌱

Then it’s probably just some trauma from the repot. I would keep them, but you can always trim if you don’t like the look.
