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 was to good to be true about Kanye. But if you do not buy his CD's anymore, we can at least shut him up. He does not deserve our money

No kidding!

Kanye...grab the mic from Toby Keith or Ted Nugent next time...ya punk-ass! Way to beat up skinny little white girls.

Even if he were dead, Kanye hates white people.

look people...the guy is a douche bag, no arguement there.

Do i wish his career would come to an abrubt halt, and that he would overspend and have to file bankruptcy and lose everything...ABSOLUTELY!

But to wish him dead is WAY over the line! No one deserves that. seriously
