Steve Harvey’s Death Hoax Surfaces After Viral Tweets

Spreading Misinformation
Comedian and television personality Steve Harvey recently became the target of yet another death hoax that began circulating on Twitter on July 19, 2023. This is not the first time Harvey has been subjected to such false rumors. Last year, a similar hoax spread like wildfire before being debunked.
The latest death hoax emerged with the caption, "Me seeing that Rip Harvey is trending," and featured a still image of Harvey sitting in a chair and looking at his phone. This image has become a popular meme, often accompanied by captions expressing disbelief or shock.
Steve Harvey saw the trend and replied to it by posting the same image with this caption. His post debunked the hoax and also added humor to the situation.

The Twitter hoax may have been triggered by a misleading YouTube video posted about a week earlier. The video claimed that "1 hour ago, American TV icon Steve Harvey suddenly died at home at the". However, this video was quickly flagged as false and removed from the platform.
It is important to be aware of the spread of false information, especially on social media. Always verify information from reputable sources before sharing or spreading it further.
