Turns out rumors of
Bebe Rexha
‘s death have been greatly exaggerated. Just ask Bebe — who’s alive and well.
Responding to a
tweet
referencing rumors that she’d died following a drug overdose, Bebe wrote, ”
Jeez I stay off line for three days and not only am I dead but I died of a drug overdose?!?!”
She then
posted
the results of a search of her name, showing that the third result was “bebe rexha died.”
“3rd one…. ?!
” she commented.
The “Meant to Be” singer then joked about it,
tweeting
, ”
I’m a ghost. I’m tweeting from your bedroom closet. Boo b***h,” and then posted
audio of herself
chanting “I’m a ghost/Boo, b***h.”
Bebe then treated the rumor more seriously, tweeting a response to a screenshot of a fake tweet that claimed that not only had CNN confirmed that she’d died of a drug overdose, but also included a picture of her “body” seemingly being wheeled away from a house, and an alleged “statement” from her family.
“Omg god forbid what the hell. That’s messsd up god forbid,” she wrote.
Then another fan tweeted a screenshot of an obviously faked
online exchange
with someone named
Bukie Rexha
— who may be an actual
relative
of Bebe’s — confirming that “she passed last night.”
“Whattttt putting my mom in the mix that’s messed uppppp,” Bebe responded.
Not only is Bebe very much alive, but she’s filming a movie
and
preparing the release of a new album.
