RIP Kanye....NOT!

Ever since Kanye West's stunt at the MTV's Video Music Awards, he has been getting bad publicity. More drama has exploded dealing with Kanye West. Rumors have been circling that Kanye was killed in a car accident. This started on this hoax FOX News website, which then began to reach the twitter world. Feeds on twitter saying "#RIPKANYEWEST".

Amber Rose, Kanye's girlfriend has be denying all these rumors via her Twitter page. She calls this buzz about "not funny" because it is so hurtful to his friends and family, who love him so much.

There are thoughts that Kanye started this rumor, to create more attention for himself. One can read into this as simple Kanye West's pathetic attempt at creating an uproar, so that people can say things like: "I hope he's not dead" and then begin to write positive things about him. So sad. When a supposed rumor of this kind starts on the Internet it is very easy for a public relations firm to snuff it out in an instant by taking to specific media outlets (much like Twitter) to snuff out the lie. Even if he didn't start this, he and his people could have easily put out the flame before it became a fire.

  1. actually i think the rumor started because he took down his short film, and said that he was sorry that he had to take it down. If u saw the film ud understand how this came about, they took it down off youtube tho..heres the story http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/rip-kanye-west-rapper-kills-spike-jonzes-fairytale/story?id=8878809
