@C_S_ : "Damn... #RIPAugustAlsina dude was gonna put New Orleans on the map. Smh."
@CeClass: "What?! I thgt he was getting well and just ended rest? #RIPAugustAlsina I think."
@THEPIZZAPOPO: "Even though August was kinda rude, y'all don't need to be saying "YASSSSS"...That shit is hella disrespectful. #RIPAugustAlsina."
@DannyT28_: "DAMN WTF #RIPAugustAlsina."
@deeeezus: "August Alsina fans about to have a heart attack over this #RipAugustAlsina hash tag. Y'all cold lol."

Just a few months ago, YMCMB superstar Lil Wayne also fell victim to the crazy online death hoax after surrering a bout of seizures, too.
Some fans blamed Weezy's "near death" experience on the codeine-infused street beverage, Sizzurp.
