American rapper, Shawn Corey Carte known professionally as Jay Z went viral across the internet once again – and this time it was because fans believed the rapper had tragically died.

Rumours of his alleged demise gained traction on social media in March 2023 as rumours emerged that the rapper has passed away.

On Sunday, March 19, 2023 a post emerged reading: “At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (March 19, 2023), our beloved rapper Jay Z passed away. Jay Z was born on December 4, 1969 in New York.

Hundreds of fans immediately began to share their messages of condolences on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the 47-year-old rapper, actor and businessman was dead.

It’s not the first time Jay Z has had fake news of his death reported. A similar rumor spread in 2013, suggesting the rapper had died – which was also revealed to be untrue.
