RIP Justin Bieber trends on twitter


RIP Justin Bieber trends on twitter

For those of you heartthrob Justin Bieber fans, a rumor that started Saturday on Twitter
may be confusing you, but coming from Twitter this shouldn’t surprise you match. Several
sites, including Twitter and Facebook, started flooding social media websites that the
pop icon Justin Bieber had passed away. In fact, the rumors (which aren’t true) were so
rampant that terms like “RIP Justin Bieber” trended on many search engines and Twitter.
However, chances are the trend grew into “RIP Justin Bieber” when his more gullible fans
became a part of the mess and started questioning whether or not he had actually died.

YouTube is flooded with RIP Justin Bieber videos. Facebook groups that state bogus
information such as  ”Justin Bieber has died following a gunshot wound sustained during
a late night altercation in west Manhattan” are being created.

But Justin is no stranger to crazy rumours, having already been through a rumour he had
syphilis, was injured in a car crash and of course the various death rumours that poor
Justin has already had to deny!

Another user called Jesus_M_Christ, whose tweets are predominantly satirical on religion,
wrote, "RIP Justin Bieber? Oh Hell no. We want nothing to do with him in the afterlife."

Internet rumors aren't new for the 16-year-old pop star. Internet bloggers, message board
posters, YouTube videos and Facebook groups are constantly pranking Bieber, forcing his
name to the top of the Twitter and Google trends. "Justin Bieber Syphilis", hacked
YouTube videos that redirect users to adult websites, and car accident rumors are just
some of the long list of hoaxes that focus on this young celebrity.
