Some people thought that DJ Khaled was dead after a social media post claimed the same. However, the rapper is alive and well in 2023.
Social media has become one of the main sources of information as people are convinced it is the place where they can find trending news. However, this has given rise to several hoaxes and one of them happens to be this news.
This is not the first time a celebrity has been a victim of a death hoax as artists such as Tom Holland, Oprah Winfrey, and others have also faced the same issue.

The news about DJ Khaled being dead started on TikTok where a video claiming the same surfaced online.
The post showed a clip of a news outlet named Channel 46 news reporting that the rapper had died.
The information read: “Khaled’s death was informed by the Broward County Sherrif’s office at exactly 5:30 pm. Suspect Dedrick Devonshay Williams of Pompano was arrested two days after the shooting, shortly before 7 pm. Held in the Broward County jail, he is charged with first-degree murder without premeditation.”
While the post may sound confusing, in reality, this is not real news. The website is used to create fake news to prank others.
A LOOK AT WHAT THE RAPPER IS UP TO
The rapper is alive and well in 2023, and is living his best life. He recently took to Instagram to show off his golfing skills.
At the same time, he has been relaxing and is posting about the same on his Instagram.
One could believe that Khaled is focusing on taking a break as the rapper has not yet announced any plans to release any new music.
