RIP Madonna Twitter Trend Appears, Lady Gaga Fans, Will Smith Get Blamed

Oh, Twitterverse. Sigh.

This morning, RIPMadonna was trending on Twitter. Because Madonna is dead? Of course not. She’s totally alive. But that doesn’t stop the Twitterverse from spreading rumors. Fake death rumors on Twitter are becoming about as common as men on Google+.

Anyone looking at the RIPMadonna tweets can easily tell that Madonna isn’t actually dead. However, there appears to be some debate over where the rumors came from. Some are blaming Lady Gaga fans. Some are blaming Will Smith.

Are we sure Twitter isn’t the social network for kids now?

Don’t worry adults, I know there are some of you on there too. That includes myself.

So, Will Smith being blamed (even by blogs) appears to come from this tweet:

RIP Madonna. You aren’t dead, but you’re career is (in this picture). twitter.com/LifeAsWillSmit…

— Will Smith (@LifeAsWillSmith) February 18, 2012

Hopefully enough people out there realize that this is not actually Will Smith, but a parody account, which is actually made clear in the bio section.

Tobey | Lady GagaThe reason “RIP Madonna” is trending, is because Will Smith apparently said “RIP Madonna’s career.” Now we’re getting the blame… 31 minutes ago via Twitter for Mac · Reply · Retweet · Favorite · powered by @socialditto

Hello would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a honest price? Thanks, I appreciate it! http://nouraljewar.com/vb/member.php?u=66408

LADY GAGA should STAND UP AGAINST this type of behavior even if it is going up against her fans. She would be practicing what she preaches and Leading by EXAMPLE. I happen to LIKE both Madonna’s and GaGA’s music especially their Dance tracks.

Many GAGA fans have transformed into the very same thing Lady GAGA is supposed to stand for which is tolerance acceptance and anti- bullying. Why is GAGA silent on her fan’s behavior and attitude?

Why did Will Smith do this?! Dose he have any reason behind saying such a hurtful thing? Has Madonna done anything to him that anyone knows of? This isn’t setting a good example for any Will Smith fans or his children to follow. I did used to like Will Smith but now I’ve lost all respect for him. Hopefully some official statements will help people understand if this was definitely him and if so why?

  Apparently you just looked over the screen caps of the tweets, where it shows that Lady Gaga fans had nothing to do with the trend.

The things is, they always blame the Lady Gaga fans because of the whole “Gaga copying Madoona” thing. So the Madonna fans and Gaga fans sometimes feud. So of course, who else to blame but the Gaga fans. I don’t think they did it. It’s probably from people retweeting the Will tweet or some junk. Then again, you’ll never know until you get all the facts. So really, people need to get all their facts before pointing fingers at the fake Will account or the Little Monsters.
