Don’t worry, Yeezy hasn’t bitten the big one. An internet rumor claiming controversial rapper Kanye West died in a Los Angeles car crash overnight is gaining momentum in the search engines this morning. For the record, hip-hop’s biggest ego is still with us. The bogus story created a firestorm of postings on social networking websites, like Facebook and Twitter. In truth, the rumor appears to have started as a prank with this posting on 4Chan.com:
“bizarre car crash in Los Angeles involving two luxury cars early this morning rapper Kanye West dead, a second injured, a third arrested for gross vehicular manslaughter and a fourth person was detained by police.”
Dear Yeezy, It might be time to take that retreat in India….
Kanye West has released a video of himself acting drunk and obnoxious — What else is new? — in a new short film by cult director Spike Jonze.
The surreal 11-minute clip entitled ‘”We Were Once A Fairytale” shows a sloshed Kanye acting a damn fool at a nightclub. At the end of the footage, the rapper down in the bathroom and finds himself vomiting rose petals. How charming…..
After posting the video on his official website, it seems Kanye had second thoughts about showing the world how badly behaved he can be — he later removed it.
