As the buster of bad dish, Gossip Cop will keep this one short and sweet.

Kanye West is not dead.

The latest in a string of unfunny celebrity death hoaxes has hit the Internet with force, with “RIP Kanye West” currently the top trending topic on Twitter. The buzz comes from a phony report of a ‘bizarre car accident’ in Los Angeles involving two luxury cars. It’s believed the hoax began on the infamous 4chan message boards.

As often happens, a loved one had to speak out against fake death rumors. Girlfriend Amber Rose took to Twitter to call talk of Kanye’s death “NOT TRUE!” and “in extreme poor taste.”

We couldn’t agree more.
