Just a few hours ago reported on a false report that Bushido had been found dead in a hotel.
Now another false report is making the rounds via WhatsApp. Apparently Bushido was found dead in his villa. The message reads: “Rapper Bushido, was found dead in his villa at 10:08am today. The cause of death is unknown.” If you look at the WhatsApp message, you might think that it is a message from “Focus”, because in the preview you can see the URL and the “Focus” logo.

However, this is not true. FOCUS did NOT report on this. The Focus URL was only included at the beginning of the message to make the message look more official. Only at second glance do you realize that there is another URL hidden behind it.
We'll make this clear here
The first link simply leads to the main page of “Focus” and is used to ensure that the magazine’s logo appears in the WhatsApp message to give the chain letter seriousness.
The second link does not lead to a news report, but to a GIF , i.e. a moving image, which is on “Tumblr”.

“Tumblr,” on the other hand, is a blogging platform on which mostly images are posted, including this animated GIF. By the way, we will only show the original GIF in pixelated form at this point, but as a description it should suffice that it is a waving idiot .

There was already the same WhatsApp message in July 2019. However, it wasn't Bushiodo who was wrongly declared dead back then, but Michael Wendler! We reported about it here.
Conclusion
This WhatsApp chain letter is a hoax. When you tap on the supposed message, you only see a moving image. Probably supposed to be funny. Ha-Ha!
