"This 'RIP KanyeWest' topic is not funny and its NOT TRUE!"

I'ma gonna tell ya. Kanye West isn't dead, apparently.

'RIP Kanye West' is still the top trending topic on the micro-blogging site Twitter hours after someone made up an unscrupulous rumor that Kanye West died in a car crash. His alleged 'death' was also the top Google search in the USA in the early hours of this morning. West's girlfriend Amber Rose put rumors to rest saying the rapper is alive and well, writing on Twitter: "This 'RIP KanyeWest' topic is not funny and its NOT TRUE! He has people like myself and his family that love him very much."

She continued, "Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It's totally disrespectful to make up a story like this we're all human."

"And we all make mistakes and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous. You wouldn't want someone to say that about you," she wrote on Twitter.

Even hours after the initial hoax rumor started, many people are re-tweeting that Taylor Swift killed him with her moon man.

Somehow this must be raaaaacist.
