False rumours have resurfaced suggesting that Welven Da Great has died. Here’s the social media hoax explained.

Most recently, there has been fake news about the death of country star Charley Pride and rapper Lil Baby.
Twitch is the world's leading video platform and community for gamers. Deez Nuts is the punchline of a conversational joke that involves asking someone a vaguely-phrased question to solicit a follow-up question in response, typically in the form of one of the five Ws, before yelling out the said phrase in an obnoxious manner. In 2015, the joke saw a huge resurgence after it was featured in a short comedic sketch by Internet comedian WelvenDaGreat on Instagram. A male's two most precious belongings, and the boast of his manhood. Usually when the phrase 'deez nuts' is used it is to flaunt one's genital superiority to either gain a great laugh or just piss them off.
And now, Welven Da Great is the latest star to be targeted by false rumours.
