In a surprising turn of events, popular comedian and rapper Slimeball MK Slatt, whose real name is Marquel Holmes, has spoken out against rumors of his death. The hoax originated from a TikTok video by the account @dankyunderground, which claimed the 23-year-old had passed away. The false post read, “Instagram comedian MK Slatt passes away at the age of 23. Further investigation is still processing.”
The news quickly went viral, causing an outpouring of grief from fans across social media platforms. However, relief came when Slatt’s cousin, Wigsby K Way, issued a statement clarifying the situation. “He’s very much alive,” the relative confirmed, prompting widespread celebration among the comedian’s followers.

Fans React to the Truth
Fans were quick to celebrate the debunking of the death hoax. One X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, “MK Slatt still here,” sharing a humorous video clip of the comedian. Others expressed their relief, sharing memes and heartfelt messages.
This isn’t the first time a celebrity has been falsely declared dead on the internet. Recent victims of similar hoaxes include rappers Eminem and Bia, whose “deaths” were incorrectly listed due to errors in editable sources like Wikipedia.

For now, fans can breathe easy knowing that Slimeball MK Slatt remains active and ready to share more of his signature humor.
