Kanye West Hoax – Who is Laughing?
Well apparently the Twitter world is laughing at the hoax about Kanye West kicking the bucket in a car accident. This may have been done in response to a video by Spike Jonze which depicts the entertainer being killed in a car accident. Since this, the video has been pulled.
Since then, Twitter fluttered about with the trending topic RIP Kanye West, it has remained in the top list for more than 24 hours. Some tweeps jokes that the incident about the Balloon Boy was a better hoax. In fact, it only became a hoax after West’s girlfriend Amber Rose set the record straight, and even Los Angeles Times covered it in their article -
Amber Rose ( @DaRealAmberRose ) debunks ‘RIP Kanye West’ Twitter topic. On Idolator, they still have a screenshot of the photoshopped piece in their article Kanye West: Not Dead that says “Rapper West Dead at 32.”
So, anyone laughing? Kanye is not and apparently has not even acknowledge the hoax as nothing has been said as of yet. The only thing is that the Balloon Boy incident has been doing better as the RIP Kanye West trending topic is finally filtering itself out of popularity.
“Whoever started the RIP Kanye West hoax…Imma let you finish, but Balloon Boy had the best hoax of all time.”
- Pulled from trending topic Balloon Boy on Twitter.
Are there going to be anymore incidents with Kanye in the near future to surprise the media and fans? He already has been called a “jackass” by President Obama after his drunken interruption toward Taylor Swift’s VMA’s in September 2009.
