Wesley Snipes Died? Twitter Rumor Untrue! - 99.3-105.7 Kiss FM

Despite Internet rumors to the contrary, it is believed Wesley Snipes is alive and well — or as well as can be expected behind bars.

Did you hear that Wesley Snipes died? If you’re a Twitter addict you may have heard the rumor Tuesday, as the social networking site lit up with users looking to confirm if the actor had passed away.

The ‘Wesley Snipes died’ rumor, though vague as these things tend to be, involved a fight in prison that (presumably) Wesley lost. So false!

Wesley Snipes is in prison serving a 3-year sentence for tax evasion, but the death part is complete rubbish.

As news began to spread that the Wesley Snipes died rumor was a fake, Twitter users expressed both relief and frustration. “I swear Twitter loves to start rumors,” wrote one user. “Go get a life, job, or something.”

Another Twitter user wrote, “Again Twitter I say, fear not, the only thing dead about Wesley Snipes is his career.” Harsh!

Yet another Twitter user observed, “Wesley Snipes got locked up for a tax invasion. Casey Anthony killed her daughter and she’s chillin.”

Rumors of Wesley Snipes’ death occurred on the same day Hugh Hefner was also the victim of death reports, though the Playboy mogul had the good grace to deny the reports himself.
