Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a rapper of Mannie Fresh's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (61%) of respondents think those Mannie Fresh death rumors are not funny anymore.
