Bebe Rexha Death Hoax: Singer Would ‘Haunt The Haters’

Contrary to rumors circulating on the internet, “Meant To Be” singer Bebe Rexha isn’t dead, though she seems to be having more fun with the news not that she’s processed the news of her alleged untimely death.

The singer, 31, addressed the rumors in a string of Tweets Wednesday morning, initially expressing shock that rumors had circulated that she had died of a drug overdose when she had simply taken a break from using her account for a few days, and having fun by recording a small track where she warned that she was “a ghost” and was “hiding in closets.” However, she became further shocked when she then saw that someone said the news had been confirmed by CNN—and her mother.

As a result, she then took to her Instagram Stories to further address the news.

“Hi my loves, I am on set shooting something really exciting, so much cool stuff coming, but I wanted to talk about somebody spreading a rumor that I died of a drug overdose and photoshopping a picture of me on a stretcher and also photoshopping an insta message of my mom saying that I passed away,” she said as her makeup was being done.

“I am not dead, I am very much alive,” she continued. “Sometimes you guys scare me, I’m like ‘Somebody’s really bored doing that,’ but in the Albanian culture we split like this (imitates spitting) three times to not jinx it like God forbid. But, yeah, I’m alive, and if I was a ghost, I mean I would haunt the haters.”

Rexha had seemingly taken a break from Twitter for a few days as the rumors swirled, but she had been sharing clips of herself on her Instagram Stories during that time, including showing off a new manicure and dancing to a Britney Spears album.

Rexha is, of course, far from the only celebrity who has been caught in rumors that they had died over the years, with many others finding themselves the subject of reports—including Sylvester Stallone, Henry Cavill, William Shatner, Michael J. Fox, and even Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip.
