It'll take more than a death hoax to keep Kanye West out of the news.
False reports hit the Internet late last night that the rapper died in a "bizarre car crash in Los Angeles involving two luxury cars." While the tall tale never made its way to credibly news sources, it spread like wildfire on Facebook and Twitter, where "RIP Kanye West" became the No. 1 trending topic.
Thankfully, the star's girlfriend, Amber Rose, put the rumor to rest.
"This RIPKanyeWest topic is not funny and its NOT TRUE! He has people like myself and his family that love him very much," she tweeted. "Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It's totally disrespectful to make up a story like this where all human and we all make mistakes and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous. U wouldn't want someone to say that about u Or someone u love it's not funny. #LongLiveYeezy!!!!!"
Of course, the main reason this story has become so popular so fast is likely thanks to Taylor Swift. People by the thousands are retweeting versions of "Whoever started the RIP Kanye West hoax, I'm happy for u and Imma let you finish…but Balloon Boy had the best hoax of all time!"
Aw, snap!

Karma's a, well, you know. Kanye may not be dead, but one, two, three major things of his have been killed thus far this month! Do you know what they are?
