NBA legend Dennis Rodman has assured fans that he’s “alive and well” after false reports of his passing spread on social media.
On Tuesday, fans of the 63-year-old retired Chicago Bulls star fell victim to an April Fools Day prank that claimed he’d died from an “autoerotic asphyxiation accident.”
Hours after the concerning posts went viral, Rodman debunked the rumors in an Instagram post.
“Yesss Sirr Alive and Well What’s up,” he wrote, alongside a picture of him giving the camera a two thumbs up while sporting a red Chicago Bulls hat.
In the comments, fans expressed their relief about the viral post, regarding Rodman’s alleged death, being a prank.
“I swear I was just coming to check,” one person wrote, while another added: “Definitely came straight here.”
