Internet Claims Kanye West Is Dead
Wednesday, 21 Oct 2009
Kanye West is not dead.
A photoshopped Fox News report that Kanye was killed in a car crash in Los Angeles circulated online last night, which took Twitter and Facebook by storm with multiple tweets and messages announcing “RIP Kanye West”.
However, Kanye’s supermodel girlfriend, Amber Rose quickly exposed his death as a lie on her Twitter account saying: “This RIPKanyeWest topic is not funny and its NOT TRUE!… Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It’s totally disrespectful to make up a story like this.”
The hoax quickly became the top trending topic on Twitter and the top Google search item in the USA when it was posted late last night.
Kanye has yet to comment about being alive.
