Even though Youngan was still actually fighting for his life, internet death rumors were quickly spread on social media.

The rapper’s sister Kenya Janell brought attention to these claims, which were spread by a number of “trusted” sources, and put an end to them with the following tweet:

“I hate you internet freak n***** and hoes, stop tryna confirm s*** y’all don’t f****** know bulls*** asses”.

“AINT NOBODY F*** DEAD STOP D** EATING AND GO READ BOOK”

However, as the hours passed, her tweets became more worrying when she tweeted:

“I literally can’t believe this. I’m so in distraught oh my f**** god.”

In her most recent tweet, Kenya Janell’s shared a photo of herself and her brother with the phrase:

“I can’t believe I’m even typing this, literally my brother … my brother … my eyes are so puffed out. I can’t stop crying .. why did you leave me like this babe.”

Carena, Youngan’s girlfriend has spoken out on her Instagram page following the tragedy, she wrote:
