Doc Gynéco death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the rapper’s alleged demise gained traction on Monday after a ‘R.I.P. Doc Gynéco’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the French rapper’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Monday (March 03, 2025), our beloved rapper Doc Gynéco passed away. Doc Gynéco was born on May 10, 1974 in Clichy. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 50-year-old rapper was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.

Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major French network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a rapper of Doc Gynéco's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (80%) of respondents think those Doc Gynéco death rumors are not funny anymore.
