Kanye West Dead? Only On Twitter! October 21, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , trackbackKanye West might not be everyone’s favourite singer after he publicly embarrassed Taylor Swift at the MTV VMA awards, but it seems that someone is really, really cross with the star… so much so that they’ve decided to kill him.
Well, on Twitter at least… in truth the only thing that’s dead about Kanye West is his popularity, although, I guess being the top trending topic on Twitter might suggest something to the contrary.
Anyway, it looks as though the rumour that the rapper was dead is completely false, despite the phrase Kanye West Dead being the top search trend on Google overnight.
Personally I reckon someone is either still majorly pissed off with Kanye and wanted to pretended he was dead, OR Kanye wanted to cash in on the media hype over dead celebs after seeing the popularity the likes of Michael Jackson and Stephen Gately have been given since their demise, after all, he has got a new book to promote….
What do you think kids?

Aight he’s not my fav. but ppl who are tellin he’s dead are POOR TOO POOR.
Kanye West is not dead and this is not the first time the death of a celebrity was faked on the internet. Many people are rushing to search for news about Kayne West’s death while the Twitter crowd are busy fueling the rumors. Twitter is known to have fueled sparks in rumers thanks to its large user base and popularity. But one question remains to be answered, who started this rumor that was taken to Twitter and spread rapidly?
Don’t believe rumors people :]
He actually is dead
