Murda Beatz found himself a trending Twitter topic on Saturday (August 8) after he falsely claimed Brooklyn rapper Fivio Foreign had been shot and killed.
The rumors of his death hit the internet after claims Fivio was involved in a shooting incident outside of the Elleven45 lounge in Atlanta, Georgia started to spread. But according to a tweet from producer Kenny Beats, those claims were premature and 100 percent false.
Fellow New York rapper Rah Swish also assured Fivio’s fans he wasn’t even involved in the shooting, writing, “Fivio not shot or injured or was shot at. Had nothing to do with that situation.”
But that didn’t stop Murda Beatz from propelling the death rumor forward. Upon learning the fake news, the 26-year-old beatmaker — responsible for songs such as Travis Scott’s “Butterfly Effect” and Drake’s “Nice For What” — headed to Snapchat to mourn Fivio’s “death.”
“Rap game fucked,” he wrote. “rip Fivio.”
After discovering Fivio was indeed alive and well, Murda Beatz promptly issued an explanation, writing, “My deepest apologies. I got a call from a friend in Atlanta who gave me false information. Thank god he’s ok and sorry for posting without confirmation anyone I upset by my mistake.”
However, it was too late. Twitter erupted with reactions to Murda Beatz’s death proclamation, while Fivio hopped on his Instagram Stories to show everyone he was actually living his best life with a plate of lobster, champagne and fruity cocktails.

Murda Beatz look like one of dem culture vultures alright..
just say it. the only way to combat racism is to be even more racist. yall will always be robin to the white people batman. culture vulture HA if it wasnt for white people these rappers wouldnt be not nearly as rich or popular. imma be honest at the rate we at just bring back jim crow. fend for urself. its incredible how racist black people are yet wanna be treated differently than how they treat white people. good luck in november cause that “racist” is easily gonna win again.
Yeah true that lol but…if it wasn’t for black people THOSE same white people wouldn’t be nearly half as rich. White people are genetically inferior we know this
really phil is that why they make more money off black people? i dont get ur logic? if they are so inferior “as we know” why do they profit off black culture im honesty not sure where u are getting? are u talking athletically? or what?
Callate la boca Shaniqua sucia. Shut your mouth dirty Shaniqua. LOL
Damn this clown even had the grass and concrete pic for a cemetery aesthetic..I wonder how much effort he put into actually checking on him and coming up with with a caption with a pic. Definitely vulture vibes….
Is this a twitter website? Debbie’s fuming…..
Phil you’re an idiot and you’re name proves it. Nobody is superior to anyone else because of their race or color. Anyone who still uses this logic is ancient retard living in the dark times
