Rapper Ch1tkey is facing severe backlash after orchestrating a fake death to promote his latest music release. The controversy erupted when Ch1tkey posted a video on his social media with the caption “Nice to meet you again”, featuring lyrics like ‘Did you think I was dead?’ and ‘I’m back’.
Earlier in the day, rumors circulated online claiming that Ch1tkey had tragically fallen to his death while filming an Instagram video on a rooftop in Seoul.An alleged friend of the rapper even detailed a dramatic account of the incident, stating, “He was trying to pretend to fall off the edge of the roof to fulfill a promise he made with the viewer, but he slipped and fell. We called 119 and took him to the emergency room, but he was pronounced dead due to cardiac arrest”.
Adding to the confusion, a woman who claimed to be Ch1tkey’s girlfriend posted a heartfelt tribute on social media, expressing deep sorrow over his supposed death and reflecting on their relationship, writing, “It’s almost our 300-day anniversary. Thank you for loving me and cherishing me every day. I will live my life always remembering you. Even though I’m trying to calm down, I still can’t. My head hurts from crying so much, but I believe you went to a better place. I love you. I’m sorry and thank you. I hope you are always happy wherever you are”. This post, which included emotional messages and a lament about their 300-day anniversary, intensified the public’s belief in the death rumors.
However, it was later revealed that the entire scenario was a prank. Ch1tkey admitted to the stunt, apologizing to his peers and fans, and posted a follow-up message clarifying that it was a joke. He stated, “Sorry to the rappers on Show Me the Money and TV rappers. I’ll take it from here”. The woman who had posed as his girlfriend also issued an apology, declaring, “Today is resurrection day. It’s a happy day. Everyone, enjoy”.
The reaction from netizens has been overwhelmingly negative, with many criticizing the rapper for his actions. Comments such as “Never pick up a mic again”, “This is so stupid”, and doubts about the authenticity of the girlfriend’s story reflect the public’s disapproval of the elaborate hoax.
