Dr. Luke Death Hoax Debunked

Dr. Luke was trending on Twitter this weekend, and it’s not because another artist accused him of sexual assault.

In recent years, the mega-producer, who is responsible for hits like Doja Cat’s “Say So”, Juice WRLD’s “Wishing Well”, and Saweetie’s “Tap In”, has been vilified after Kesha made a slew of allegations against him. This weekend, he was back in the news after a fake screenshot, which was made to look like it was written from his wife, announced his death, which has since been confirmed as false.

Dr. Luke’s manager reportedly reached out to a reporter at People to clarify that the producer is still alive and well.

“It is not true. Account was hacked,” said Luke’s manager.

Vulture points out that a Doja Cat stan has taken ownership of the screenshot, claiming that they created it several months ago.

“I FAKED A SCREENSHOT OF DR LUKE’S WIFE SAYING LUKE PASSED AWAY ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND ITS TRENDING WTFNJ BJHFREBUHHIFRIHJ,” wrote the @DojaDior account on Twitter.

Dr. Luke has not confirmed that he has tested positive for the virus. He has also not responded to the death hoax personally.

Thankfully, it looks like he’s alright though. Hopefully, he stays well.

Suge Knight Calls Out Kanye West Over Offensive Comments on Carter Twins

HonkMagazine

Suge Knight is known for speaking his mind, and in a recent interview on a show called Art of Dialogue, he shared strong opinions about Kanye West’s recent behavior. Kanye, who is often in the spotlight for his controversial actions, made headlines after insulting Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s children in a tweet. Suge found this particularly unacceptable. “I need to talk to Kanye,” Suge said, clearly upset. “We should never disrespect anyone’s kids.” He was disturbed by Kanye calling the Carter twins a hurtful name, emphasizing that this kind of behavior is unacceptable in both hip-hop and society in general.

“You don’t talk about Jay and Beyoncé’s kids and call them names. That’s crossing the line.” For Suge Knight, this isn’t just about one tweet, it’s about a larger issue. He feels that such hurtful comments not only impact the people involved but also reflect poorly on hip-hop and Black culture as a whole. “I expect more from people in hip-hop and our community,” he stated. “We’ve come a long way, and we should stand up for each other, especially when it comes to protecting kids and those who are vulnerable.”

This isn’t the first time Kanye has faced backlash for his controversial remarks, but Suge clarifies that calling out children is where he draws the line. “That’s not funny to me, not at all,” he remarked, suggesting that there should be real consequences for Kanye’s words. “He needs an old-fashioned lesson.” Suge Knight’s comments remind us that, regardless of how famous an artist is, there are still moral limits that shouldn’t be crossed, especially when it comes to children. His call for accountability sends a strong message to Kanye West and anyone else who might think it’s acceptable to attack innocent kids in the hip-hop world.
