Someone please tell all of those posting about the death of Kanye West that Kanye is not dead.
‘Kanye West RIP’ was the hottest trending topic on Twitter today. Imagine how big the story would be if it was true. But it isn’t.The Kanye West RIP Twitter topic demonstrates Twitter’s greatest flaw. It is a mouthpiece for people to say anything about anyone at anytime, regardless of fact.
The Kanye West story originated in the early hours of Wednesday (US time). With no foundation it quickly became the most Twittered topic.
Kanye West is definitely not dead. However, his career is on life support after his obnoxious interruption during the recent Taylor Swift moment at the VMAs.
That may be resolved if he contributed to the upcoming Saturday Night Live sketch featuring Taylor in November.
Meantime, Kanye has a pulse. Twitter just has trouble reading it.
