Is Kanye West Dead?

After the incident at the 2009 Video Music Awards ceremony when Kanye West barged on stage during Taylor Swift’s speech, many of her fans may have felt like they wanted him dead. Yesterday it seemed their wish was granted.



When the news surfaced of his death in a car accident, the Internet ballooned in a flurry of excited Google searches. Even Twitter added fire to the rumour with RIP messages emerging as one of the trending topic, until Kanye’s girlfriend, Amber Rose retaliated with tweets of her own.


This is yet another celebrity false-death rumour, and this particular one has come at a time when West has just released a short film called, ‘We Used to Be a Fairy Tale’ (with his song playing in the background, no doubt) watch it here.

 In the film, incidentally, Kanye pulls something looking like a teddy bear that’s lost its fur, crossed with an elderly rat/weasel thing from his belly, and gives it a knife to kill itself. It does after some deliberation and head twists. In addition, California’s Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has just signed a new bill to ensure the safety of people undergoing cosmetic surgery. This bill is to be named after Kanye West’s mother, Donda West, who died following elective surgery. This new bill requires the potential patient to undergo a mandatory physical examination before going under the knife.

All in all, it's great to hear that Kanye West is alive and well. It's not appreciated however, when fans and family have to put up with this kind of false rumour. I'm sure it must have been a very stressful time for them.

So, what else have you heard lately?
