A website Not Allowed To published an article claiming DJ Khaled had passed away. They wrote that the singer was using Snapchat when the accident occurred and blamed lack of attention as the reason behind the rumored fatal accident.

They also mentioned that the artist suffered fatal injuries and was taken away on a stretcher by the emergency responders. Furthermore, they reported that the respected singer stopped to say a few words to his fans into a microphone.

  “Car crashes are key to success as well. They don’t want you to crash. A lot of people can’t handle car crashes but I CAN.”

By the end of the clickbait article, the publication clarified that the singer suffered mostly minor injuries. He received treatment for a minor fracture, bruises, and cuts. However, there is no evidence for the report and it is false.

Following the publication of DJ Khaled’s car crash article, misleading rumors of his death spread online. Many TikTok videos claiming various reasons including fatal shooting for the singer’s death started circulating.

One of the viral TikTok videos claimed Channel 46 news reported on the singer’s death. The user also added a description reading, “DJ Khaled’s death was reported to Broward country’s sheriff, and lead suspect Dedrick Devonshay Williams of Pompano was arrested.”
