Jason Derulo is dead. At least that's what the internet is saying. However, the singer didn't die. He's just the victim of a car crash internet death hoax. Jason Derulo is just fine.
A report appeared on Sunday saying that Derulo died in a car crash. Global Associated News, or Local Team News 9, said that he died in a single vehicle crash on Route 80 between Morristown and Roswell on November 28. The report says that Derulo lost control of the vehicle and rolled the car, killing him instantly. It then says that memorial service plans will be announced and that he will have a closed casket due to head trauma.
The report is false. Derulo didn't die in a car crash. Since there are so many details to the accident, it's easy to believe that its real, but Global Associated News creates fake news reports.
A message at the bottom of the site reads: "FAKE... THIS STORY IS 100% FAKE! this is an entertainment website, and this is a totally fake article based on zero truth and is a complete work of fiction for entertainment purposes!"
Global Associated News allows people to enter a celebrity name into a generator, which then creates a fake news story about their death. Other celebrities have died in the same exact car crash before. Some recent ones include Tony Hawk, Kobe Byant, Jerry Springer, Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller.
The rumor hit Twitter and now fans are mourning and questioning the death of the "In My Head" singer.
Some examples of tweets include:
"Jason derulo dead in a car crash? Dont know whether to believe it or not."
"Omfg jason derulo died in a car crash 2 hours ago? #respectfottheguy he made brilliant music , omg I'm so shocked!!"
"Prayers with Jason Derulo and his family :( #rip #tragic"
"jason derulo died in a car crash:'( RIP <3"
Derulo hasn't made too many headlines lately and the last time he tweeted was on Dec. 22 when he wished girlfriend Jordin Sparks a happy birthday. These factors might make people believe that he could have actually died in a car crash, but don't worry. He's alive and well.
Derulo recently announced that he bought a house "I got the keys to my dream house yesterday! Glad the world didn't end today! 2013 is the yr of change," he tweeted.
Some other celebrities who became victims of a death hoax in recent months include actor Vin Diesel, musician Skrillex, Rapper Lil Wayne, Actor Vince Vaughn, Tom Kenny, the voice behind SpongeBob Squarepants, country singer Taylor Swift, legendary actor Morgan Freeman, Comedian Bill Cosby, Alfonso Ribeiro aka Carlton from the Fresh Prince, and Bill Nye the Science Guy. All of these celebrities are just fine.
