Top American Rapper, Eminem Allegedly Killed As #ripeminem Trends On Twitter

Social media is full of absurdities.

So it makes sense that on Twitter on Wednesday, as of 3:30am, the hashtag “RIP Eminem” had more than 30,000 people tweeting under it, despite the fact that there is absolutely no news of the American rapper being anything but fine.

Eminem ‘s fans were left horrified after #RIPEminem began trending on Twitter following a disturbing tweet from a fan which has now been deleted.

Concerns for his welfare began to mount after one Twitter user – whose account has since been suspended – wrote: “I have killed Eminem” in an alarming remark.

As far as we know, the Grammy-award winning rapper, 47, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, is alive and well – with neither his team or himself releasing anything about his health so far.

Despite that, Twitter descended into chaos as the hashtag exploded – leaving fans worried and scared the worst has happened.

And who can stop the tweets once they have gained momentum? As is common to Twitter trends, a lot of the tweets under the hashtag were K-Pop fancams.

But even excluding the fancams, most tweets under the trend were of a humorous nature with many tweeting photos of, United States Vice President, Mike Pence, and Barack Obama to pay their tributes to the rap artist who is very much alive.

A Twitter user wrote, “ripeminem you were my idol since middle school,” with a photo of Mike Pence, US Vice President.
