Rumors that Machine Gun Kelly had died of an overdose started circulating earlier this month — and some people actually believed he’d passed away. But, it turns out the “Rap Devil” rapper was simply a victim of the Ligma death hoax.
What exactly is Ligma? Basically, it’s a fictitious pharmaceutical drug.
The rumor is believed to have originated from a site called Huzlers Media. On October 6, it published a story claiming MGK’s manager found him dead after overdosing on Ligma. The article claimed MGK had fallen into a depression following his highly publicized beef with Eminem.
Numerous people on social media posted tributes to the 28-year-old rapper while others were understandably suspicious.
However, MGK is alive and well.
The lizards cloned him, poor Kelly he was such a nice boy.
y’all just got trolled, ligma balls
His career on the other hand, is and has been dead for a minute…
I wanna know who are these people who have time on their hands to find these obscure places with hoaxes to perpetuate.
Probably the same kind of people who have time to write comments on here lol
He’s alive and well… but his rap career might as well take “ligma” lol
