Overnight, there were hoax rumours that Kanye West had died in a car accident.
For the most part, the rumours/ trending topic on Twitter of RIP Kanye West spread from people sharing links without looking into the story first. The rumour, started as a prank by serial-time-wasters 4 Chan, didn’t meet much resistance as West has antagonised so many people this year.
His girlfriend Amber Rose was the person to start a conflicting Twitter trend saying that West was still alive. The model tweeted the above to her over 108,300 followers, not that it helped. It did become a trending topic in its own right. However, this morning there are still rumours that West was killed.
Wishful thinking won’t get you anywhere. The West rumours are a total hoax.
