But is the rapper really dead, or is it all just an internet hoax? Here is everything you need to know about it.

According to rumours that started to surface on Tuesday (5 July), the rapper had allegedly been stabbed to death on his birthday.

However, these claims are false, and Santan Dave hasn't actually passed away; instead, he is merely a victim of another celebrity death hoax.
