Despite Rumors, Kanye Not Dead

Despite all the drama surrounding Kanye West these past few weeks, it's nice to see his girlfriend Amber Rose is standing by him.

Yesterday, we posted an inneresting video of Kanye directed by Spike Jonze.

In the short film, Kanye is seen acting all sorts of stoopid at a club, there's a sex scene, and later he stabs himself at the end. Though shortly after posting the video, Kanye removed it from his site.

And coincidentally, yesterday a new trending topic was started on Twitter called #RIPKanyeWest. However, we're happy to report West is NOT dead.

The trending topic is rumored to have started after false reports of Kanye dying in a car accident began to circulate, while others think it has to do with Kanye stabbing himself in the video, and some think Kanye was the one who even started the death rumor.

But despite it all, Amber Rose is sticking up for her man and she took to her Twitter account to dismiss the rumors and try to create her own trending topic. Amber wrote:

This RIPKanyeWest topic is not funny and its NOT TRUE! He has people like myself and his family that love him very much.

Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It's totally disrespectful to make up a story like this where all human

and we all make mistakes and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous. U wouldn't want someone to say that about u.

Or someone u love it's not funny.

#LongLiveYeezy !!!!!

Take dat HATAS! #LongLiveYeezy !!!

So, are U for #RIPKanyeWest or #LongLiveYeezy?

One can read into this as simply Kayne West's pathetic attempt at creating an uproar, so that people can say things like: "I hope he's not dead" and then begin to write positive things about him. Sad. So sad. When a supposed rumor of this kind starts on the Internet it is very easy for a public relations firm to snuff it out in an instant by taking to specific media outlets (much like this one) to snuff out the lie. Even if he didn't start this, he and his people could have easily put out the flame before it became a fire.

And I suppose she doesn't think his move was sleezy? I used to love Kanye, I stood for hours waiting to be first row to see him. Now, I couldn't care less about him. He's obviously super cocky and dosn't give a crap about other people's feelings. This dude needs a life.
I think it's more like… #LongLiveSleezy

Wouldn't it be easier if he did just die? Then we would not have to hear any auto tune laden tracks and songs about champagne.

we should rejoice that Kanye is gone..plz god let him go…that guy needs a clue..noone likes him really
kaykay85 says – reply to this

LongLiveYeezy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is an artist who actually HAS talent. And it was the fucking VMA's, not the grammy's. Taylor's music is so corny anyway, I would never listen to that shit. Just like Chris Brown beating up Rihanna boosted her career, This incident is boosting Taylor's. She owes all her "pity" music sales to KanYe. Beyonce' is a better artist, singer & performer, who should of won. Just look at Taylor's performance compared to Beyonce's if you need more proof.

Talent? Because he uses voice control on every song to improve the sound of his voice. Yeah… that sure is raw talent. He's arrogant and dumb.

55

I'm confused. She doesn't say he is not dead, she says he didnt die because of a ridiculous mistake. So is he dead or not? And if he is alive, why didn't he post anything???
jacobasue says – reply to this

56

ya sure Kanye, start another scandal so everybody forgets what a douche you were to T-swizzle. Suspect.
laurencroft says – reply to this

57

Dude…if he's going to be the one putting that up on his site (then taking it down), he totally has that coming. Seriously, if you don't want to create an uproar, don't put a video like that up. So, #RIPkanyewest

I'm well aware he's alive and shit, but hey, he started it with the video, right?

I knew I could look to Perez bloggers to see what type of ppl would make this crap up. All you heartless ppl! DAMN! Does anyone love God here????? Like really ppl what has the dude done so wrong to want him dead??? Is he Hitler or something, bernie maydoff…like this dude didnt do anything that bad! Some ppl are so hearless. Death is not a game. He has brought alot into the world. and didnt do anything that drastic to deserve to die. Like lets be real
