Kanye West Died In Twitter Hoax
By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 21st 2009 07:00AM
'RIP Kanye West' is still the top trending topic on the micro-blogging site Twitter hours after someone made up an unscrupulous rumor that Kanye West died in a car crash. The Kanye West Dead hoax was also the top Google search in the USA in the early hours of this morning. West's girlfriend Amber Rose put rumors to rest saying the rapper is alive and well, writing on Twitter: "This 'RIP KanyeWest' topic is not funny and its NOT TRUE! He has people like myself and his family that love him very much."
She continued, "Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It's totally disrespectful to make up a story like this we're all human." "And we all make mistakes and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous. You wouldn't want someone to say that about you," she wrote on Twitter.
Even hours after the initial hoax rumor started, many people are re-tweeting that Taylor Swift killed him with her moon man. This refers to West's outburst in the middle of Swift's 2009 VMAs award acceptance speech, for Best Female Video. West grabbed the microphone and declared that Beyonce's nominated video for 'Single Ladies' was one of the "best videos of all time."

You sound like a racist fool. You actually are calling Kanye a thug and telling him to go back to flipping burgers? LOL he was never a thug and his music expresses that.. stop trying to join in the convo because your comments sound immature as hell..
Just to get attention for him and his he/she. He looks so angry all the time; looks for a lot of sympathy. Guess this will let him know that no one really cares one way or another. Best said "just go away, and don't care how you get there."

cammie, shut up. You can't even spell Kanye. Why would you be so concerned with him? You just mad cuz someone be hatin on Kane Kanye whomever this moron is.

lol, It's a shame he isn't dead..that stuck up, self absorbed faggot who's dating a shemale with crop circles on his head. And why the hell is a grown man on twitter..?
He is one of a few ppl that i hate with the fury of all that is holy......him and spencer pratt....why can't he die???

Would not hurt my feelings if it was true!

Im sick of these lies, what are people trying to do curse people? they better be careful it could happen to them!!!!!! Better be careful what you say with your mouth, cause it just might happen , come true!!! It says that in the Bible!!!!

can some please make it really happen? i can't stand that fool

Hey! Even though that Village idiot isn't dead at least we have the satisfaction to know he has lost millions of dollars because of his dead concert tour with Lady ga, ga. Even she had enough sense to drop him like a bad habit. How in the hell could someone be STUPID enough to interrupt Taylor Swift during her grammy awards ceremony and grab the Mic. You have got to have one of the biggest, most massive Egos to think you can go on stage and perform a stuntlike that without repercussions. Again I LOVE the fact that that silly "Sucker"s" career is in the tank and will probably stay there. great Job Kayne West you VILLAGE IDIOT!!!

SORRY BUT KANYE WEST CAREER IS FAR FROM OVER. KANYE PRODUCES MUSIC FOR SEVERAL ARTISTS INCLUDING HIMSELF AND WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT THAT EQUALS MORE MONEY FOR KANYE.I'M NOT MAD AT YOU GET THAT PAPER

ummmm...PUBLICITY STUNT????...WHEN YOU BECOME "THE RAPPER THAT COMPLETELY DISRESPECTED TAYLOR SWIFT AT AWARD SHOW".....YA GOTTA DO SOMETHING!

Too bad, maybe it will be true next time. we can only hope.

Please be sure this information is clarified. I don't want to spend the rest of my life mourning Kanye West's death in vain. Please hurry!
Reply
Couldn't he maybe buy a remote island somewhere and just disappear for the rest of time...I'm up for that.

Yeah, I really don't want anyone 'dead' but he is so annoying. Anyone who says otherwise truly hasn't aspired to anything more than want to be his "wanna be". He's so boooorring. I turn the station when his songs come on now. I'm not supporting this guy anymore. He has no class.
Reply
I wish this had been true. He's such a waste of space.

What did you say? I don't speak nor understand low class street jive.

I motion a move and a vote for everyone to boycott Kanye West music and his appearances eveywhere. Anyone who hates Racist Blacks who hoop and holler all the time about white people and beautiful talented singers like Ms. SWIFT should stand up against these types of people and let them know there sh-t is no longer tolerated. STOP BUYING KANYE WEST MUSIC! And that should go for Beyonce as well, she supported Kanye West and was tickled pink that he went up on stage and made such a scene. She's no better, just because she's a woman dosen't mean that sex is a safe escape for her either as we all know with eyes and a brain to see through this sh-t. Being somewhat afraid of her own actions, Beyonce covered it up by allowing Ms. Swift to come back on stage to complete her awards appreciation. Which only helped to cover up Beyonce's jeleously towards Swift's accomplishment.
