Rumors are spreading like wildfire on Monday about Vanilla Ice's car accident causing his early death. The report turned out to be nothing but a prank, just like the numerous death hoaxes that have generated publicity.
According to the false report, the rapper died in a single vehicle crash on Route 80 between Morristown and Roswell in New Jersey, and was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics who immediately responded on the crash site.
The false report was originated from Global Associated News (GNA), who originally wrote the said vehicular accident.
News of Ice's death reached family and friends, who tried to call him. The rapper, whose real name is Robert Matthew van Winkle, was forced to use social media via Twitter to stop the erroneous report.
"I don't know who's spreading this rumor about me dying in a car crash but -- IM ALIVE ! I have like 30 texts, from mom family and friends," Vanilla Ice posted on his Twitter (@vanillaice) account.
