Everyone on Twitter knows the fear of seeing a beloved star’s name trend and wondering why.
Now add ‘RIP’ to that hashtag, and you can understand why Eminem fans were particularly concerned last night.
People feared that the 47-year-old rapper had died, after #RIPEminem began trending on Twitter on Tuesday night – despite Marshall Mathers III being very much alive.
The hashtag became a top trend in the US, with some fans of Eminem believing that the Lose Yourself star had passed away on August 18.
However, it seems that the trend stemmed from one Twitter user who declared: ‘I have killed eminem.’
The account, with the handle @levic**sock, also reportedly tweeted the hashtag #RIPEminem numerous times before going private.
While the trend initially caused major concern on social media, it later turned into a meme – because, you know, the internet.
People shared the hashtag with pictures of Ellen DeGeneres and a bleach blonde Justin Bieber, as well as pictures mourning the death of M&Ms.
Eminem has been at the top of the rap game for two decades, and achieved his ninth number one album in January this year with the release of Music To Be Murdered By.
But even that colossal achievement couldn’t bag him a place on Snoop Dogg’s list of his favourite rappers.
