There had been news spreading like fire on the Internet that Kanye West had died in a car accident. But the fans need not worry, nothing has actually happened to West. Whatever you may have come across online, Kanye West is very much alive and did not die in any car accident on Tuesday. The news was refuted by his girlfriend Amber Rose.
The fake death news of the much controversial rapper spread in Twitter like wild fire. There are no confirmed reports from where the news began to spread. In a press meet few were quoted as pointing it to the image board 4chan.org that reported West to have died in a car crash in Los Angeles. It took no time to create and circulate mail chains and threads across Twitter and Facebook.

Kanye West
Sophos.com, a computer security blog, took the credit of tracking it down to where the scam began. Fans went fanatic that “Kanye West died” and some such similar phrases went up to become the most-searched topics on Google Trends on October 21st. Kanye’s representative was not available for a comment at the press meet. But his model girlfriend, Amber Rose, tweeted that “This ‘RIP Kanye West’ topic is not funny and it’s NOT TRUE! He has people like myself and his family that love him very much. … It’s 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”.
The fake news of the rappers death that created ripples goes like this: “a bizarre car crash in Los Angeles involving two luxury cars early this morning [left] rapper Kanye West dead, a second injured, a third arrested for gross vehicular manslaughter and a fourth person was detained by police. A Los Angeles Police Department officer who witnessed the wreck and saw a red Ferrari and a white Porsche ’spinning out of control’ on Jamboree Road between Bison Avenue and East Bluff Drive.”
