Amber Rose, the model girlfriend of rap star Kanye West, has expressed her disgust at an online hoax that claimed the Stronger star had died.
Rumours of West's alleged death came on Wednesday after the phrase 'RIP Kanye West' becoming a top trending topic on microblogging site Twitter.
However, West's model girlfriend Rose quickly moved to quash the rumours on her own Twitter account, writing: "This RIPKanyeWest topic is not funny and it's NOT TRUE!"
She went on: "He has people like myself and his family that love him very much.
"It's in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It's totally disrespectful to make up a story like this, we're all human and we all make mistakes and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous.
"U wouldn't want someone to say that about u."
It is believed the rumours were started by online scam artists who later infected countless internet searches reporting the incorrect story with fake anti-virus software.
