Adele Is Victim of Death Hoax

Truth rating: 0

Adele is the victim of a death hoax.

A rumor that the singer had died spread like wildfire on Twitter on Saturday.

“RIP Adele” became a trending topic, only further fueling speculation.

It is 100% false.

Adele is alive and well.

These stupid jokes about celebrities “dying,” which have already victimized Cher and Demi Moore in the last couple of days, are really sick and unfunny.

Usually in the past, the idiots who start these rumors have used some kind of random accident to make it appear “legit.”

More and more, just getting “RIP [fill in the blank]” to trend on Twitter is enough to needlessly worry fans and friends.

We’re not sure what the solution is, but we hope the nonsense stops.

    RIP : Realy Inspiring Person

  • Mayrian_castillo

    Well, “RIP Adele” dosen’t mean “Rest In Peace Adele” it really mans “Really Inspiring Person Adele” they are saying that she is a really inspiring person.. and it’s really true!! ((=

  • Gikuhonishimo

    No, no it doesn’t. When you see the abbreviation RIP in society, it means Rest in Peace, not Really Inspiring Person, quit trying to cover for the fact that someone started it as a fake death rumor.

    RIP was shortened for “Really Inspiring Person”

  • Ladybug

    It was a trending topic on twitter smart one , so instead of typing out Really Inspiring Person they shortened it to RIP. But many people misunderstood it as Rest in Peace.

  • Solarflare7

    RIP = REST IN PEACE

    NOT REALLY INSPIRING PERSON

  • Danny

    Well everyone on there would say RIP (Really Inspiring Person) so it’s meant to be good but obviously everyone will think of it as Rest in Piece.
