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."

It's not that people are haters, it's that people are sick and tired of people like Kanye using his so called "success" to hurt other people. Come on now how can any sane person stick up for all the rotten choices he has made?

Gosh, for a moment I was hoping it was true....
What did he die from? His head getting so
big it finally exploded under it's own weight?
It's a hoax? Bummer! The world could use
on less GIGANTIC arrogant as#hole!

I wouldn't wish anybody dead, but like most other people I'd like for him to disappear somewhere. I just wonder if this egotistic narcissist truly knows how much he and his crummy music are loathed in this world. It wasn't a good idea to start the death rumor... it gave him way more attention then he deserves.

Did you just say Kanye had crappy music? Say what you want about this man, he music is pure genious.
I wouldnt miss this person one bit. thanks

What kind of pathetic lives do some folks lead that to get a thrill they twitter, listen to twitter, care about some non-talent rapper, some uncultured slob.....folks who twitter need a life bad!

Shock Tank: A lot of people give to charity, but I have no idea where you heard he was nice. Famous? Maybe for his outbursts and poor choices in life... which if you can't tell by now most people are tired of seeing and hearing about. I'm not a hater... there's just some people in this world that are intolerable and hard to like. Just giving my two cents worth... like you.

i know you werent talkin to me but my neighbor worked with kanye at a concert last year and said he was one of the nicest guys to work with
I WOULD LIKE FOR kanye TO GO LOOK UP 2 WORDS IN HIS DICTIONARY. TALENT AND CIVILIZED.

street jive..your the one with no class..idiot! let me guess, your white. kanye doesn't care, get over it11!!

Twitter got it wrong -- Kanye didn't die, just his career.
