Kanye West is dead? Not unless you count the metaphorical death he suffered to all country music fans at the 2009 VMA's. The trouble is that another fake celebrity death rumor is making its way around the internet, and people are buying what someone is selling. There are a couple of rumors about where this first rumor got started as well; including a post on Yahoo Answers and an internet tabloid posting. The truth though, is that there is no truth to the rumors of a Kanye West death, and if there were, you can bet that web sites like TMZ would be jumping all over this story.

Despite the thought of Kanye West being dead coming as a far-fetched news story, it is causing quite a stir over at Twitter, where many users have taken to saying their piece about it. Some users are questioning whether it is true, and some are actually cheering the thought that he could be dead after all the recent shenanigans he has pulled in sight of the press. This has led to the phrase "RIP Kanye West" becoming one of the most popular searches as well as one of the post popular posts on the Twitter Universe.

Kanye West is not dead, so don't buy into the rumors right now, even if it seems like something that could be true. Some people will go to any lengths to start a rumor about a celebrity right now, and this is one that can be put to bed. As of the posting of this article, there is no official news or confirmation that Kanye West has died.

    It will be confirmed later this week... They are trying to find the best way to expose it to the public... However since it has become known to the public it will most likely surface sooner than expected... You can find small bits of it here... www.kanyewest.arc/blog/update if it doesn't work for you try opening with firefox and a java downgrade... This is a deleted post but is still archived... There were OVER 9000 hits on it so it needed to be taken down...

    RIP KANYE WEST YOU WILL BE MISSED "A 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. A Los Angeles Police Department officer who witnessed the wreck and saw a red Ferrari and a white Porsche "spinning out of control" on Jamboree Road between Bison Avenue and East Bluff Drive ., Los Angeles Lt. Scott Fox said. The Ferrari "hit the curb and then collided with a pole." The Porsche came to a stop at the scene for a few seconds and then sped away, Fox said. "It was terrible. It was extensive damage to the vehicle," Fox said, adding that the Ferrari appeared to have split in half. A woman in the Ferrari was ejected during the accident and taken to a hospital, where she was in stable condition, Fox said. He said police have not determined which one was driving and which one was the passenger. Police located the Porsche on Bison A
