On July 31, reports stated the underground rapper was on a roof doing a social media challenge when he fell to his death.
His team further alleged Cht1key was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. They stated, “He fell from a 5-story building and landed on a surface in the middle. A friend went to check on him thinking he was joking, but Cht1key was unresponsive so they called the police. Ch1tkey was pronounced dead at the hospital.”
Though the reports have yet to be confirmed, Cht1key’s girlfriend has wrote a tribute to her late boyfriend on social media.
Following earlier reports of Ch1tkey’s death, the rapper posted on social media to let his followers know it was all a hoax.
Netizens then pointed out Ch1tkey had in fact been playing his favorite game until the presumed date of his death, and there were no records of a fire department response at the time of the alleged accident. One netizen claimed, “Someone I know lives in the apartment building where Ch1tkey lives. The police came, and someone inside said it was a stunt to draw attention for his album. Both his girlfriend and Ch1tkey were present.”
As the reports continued, Cht1key revealed his death was a hoax by directly posting to social media, “Hello,” and sharing his new track “Back”.
What a fucking psycho smh
