MC Hammer Fans Thought He Passed Away Due To #RIPHammer Twitter Trend

by

MC Hammer is untouchable when it comes to one-hit wonders in hip-hop, and still holds a lot of cultural weight. As such, you may have noticed that rap Twitter recently went into a firestorm because #RIPHammer was trending on the social media platform. Fans thought that he had passed away, and a lot of them got that sentiment popularized and trending before seeing what the trend was actually about. Needless to say, the rapper is actually doing just fine, and his fans or folks with a lot of nostalgia have no reason to fret. Still, they should learn about the real reason why #RIPHammer was trending.

This is not due to MC Hammer, but rather to UFC fighter Mark Coleman’s dog, Hammer. Furthermore, Coleman saved his family, specifically his parents, from a devastating fire in their home, but their dog tragically passed away. As the story gained more traction online, folks tagged #RIPHammer, and it wasn’t a reference Tupac’s “loved and respected” friend. “Yall need to be more specific with these hashtags,” one fan expressed. “When I saw #RIPHammer trending I thought we loss one of music’s greatest.”

MC Hammer Fans Almost Start Mourning Due To Twitter Trend

But MC Hammer isn’t really in the spotlight like that anymore, although there’s clearly still a lot of care and concern for his well-being and interest in his celebrity status. It’s also nabbed him a couple of new brand and partnership deals from which he can continue to profit and make a living. For example, the 61-year-old teamed up with Cheetos for a Super Bowl ad in 2020 celebrating 30 years since his smash hit, “U Can’t Touch This.” While the song definitely sounds dated at this point, it’s also quite remarkable how it continues to pop up in pop culture.

Lil Tay is a social media personality who has been embroiled in a ton of controversy as of late. Just last month, it was reported that she had passed away. Overall, there were people who believed she and her brother had died in a car accident. However, it was quickly revealed that Tay was, in fact, alive. Moreover, all sorts of allegations began to come out regarding her family, and her father in particular. There had been a custody battle in the past, and it’s what ultimately led to her lack of content over the last five years.

Once the death hoax was sorted out, Lil Tay reportedly went to Los Angeles so that she could live with her mother. Subsequently, there were more rumors about her father and what he may have been orchestrating behind the scenes. Well, today, it seems like the former social media star is speaking out. On her Instagram story earlier today, we got an image of her father, followed by an accusation. “My abusive racist misogynistic woman beating father faked my death,” she wrote. Moreover, she included his name, Christopher J. Hope.
