Newsbreak is a popular app that provides smartphone users with the latest news and foreign affairs from different news publications.
In this case, Harvey’s fake death announcement came from the online website Trend Cast News.
The byline of the article read “Future Tech Prediction.”
“I woke up to this Steve Harvey passed ‘news’ and just reading the headline, I knew it was bs but bro,” one person wrote and shared a screengrab of the push notification.
“This NewsBreak app just posts/shares anything. I have a love hate relationship with this app.
“They want to be credible but allow whatever.”
A second fumed, “Gmorn’n did anyone else wake up to Steve Harvey passed away news and it was a spam or virus link.”
“Nearly had a stroke when I got news that Steve Harvey passed away,” another said.
Harvey has not responded to the death rumors but has been active on X, sharing his usual motivational content with his 6.1 million followers.
Wednesday was the fourth time this year Harvey has been the subject of fake death rumors.
Family Feud’s Steve Harvey yells ‘my man!’ after player gives raunchy response to question that leaves audience stunned
In October, the website Snopes debunked false claims that Harvey had died in a car crash.
Harvey was again targeted in death hoaxes in November and March 2023.
He had fun with the stories of his death in the past, posting a picture of himself looking at a cell phone with a cigar in hand and captioning it, “Me seeing that Rip Harvey is trending.”
The Family Feud host isn’t the only celebrity to fall victim to bizarre death rumors.
Country music star Alan Jackson was at the center of a similar hoax in November 2022.
At the time, a framed picture of Jackson appeared on the website FNEWS2 with the abbreviation “RIP” written next to the image.
The title read, “6 minutes ago/with a heavy heart as we report the sad news of 64-year-old singer Alan Jackson.”
The site has previously spread untrue reports of the deaths of other stars, including Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, and Dolly Parton.
