Kanye West's girlfriend Amber Rose says the hoax about his 'death' “disrespectful” and in “extreme poor taste”.

'RIP Kanye West' is still the top trending topic on Twitter where the rumour was started by a joker 12 hours ago. It's also the top Google search in the US.

As well as saying the claims are “not funny” and “NOT TRUE!”, model Amber Rose wrote on Twitter: "Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It's totally disrespectful to make up a story like this where all human and we all make mistakes... and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous.

“U wouldn't want someone to say that about u."

Consider yourselves told Tweeters.
