The rumors began after a TikTok video from the account @dankyunderground claimed that MK Slatt, real name Marquel Holmes, had died at the age of 23. The post read: “Instagram comedian MK Slatt passes away at age 23.” “Further investigation ongoing” quickly gained traction and caused confusion and concern among fans.

As the video spread, many fans expressed disbelief and uncertainty as to whether the claims were true. The misrepresentation was quickly debunked when Slatt’s cousin, Wigby K Way, stepped in to reassure the public.
