Death claims of Young Dolph’s protege and Memphis rapper Key Glock, real name Markeyvius LaShun Cathey, circulated on social media Wednesday (May 6).
Known for his hit songs “Let’s Go,” “Ambition For Cash,” and “Since 6ix,” the Republic Records artist has no claims to validate the rumors about him. He shared a post on Instagram about new music on the way on Tuesday.
One viral post read, “Damn they killed Key Glock.” The rumor quickly spread across X, formerly Twitter, where users immediately began questioning the story.
“Who posted that Key Glock dead,” one user wrote. Another added, “Does Key Glock know he dead?”
Despite the viral panic, no evidence supported the claims. No police agency reported an incident involving the rapper, and the Memphis Police Department released no statement tied to the rumors. Key Glock’s official pages also remained active, with no indication of an emergency.
Young Dolph’s protege and Memphis Rapper Key Glock’s Death Rumors Debunked By Fans
The hoax appears connected to a misleading YouTube video using a sensational headline to attract clicks and engagement. As the story gained traction, several outlets published fact-checks confirming the rapper was alive and safe.
Fans reacted with disbelief as screenshots continued circulating online. “He ain’t dead,” one commenter wrote beneath a reposted rumor.
Another added, “He’s alive. I had to triple check.”
The response highlighted growing frustration with fake celebrity death reports that often spread faster than verified information. The rapper star is the new face of the returning True Religion fashion brand.
Since Young Dolph passed in 2021, Key Glock has become one of Memphis hip-hop’s biggest stars. The former Paper Route Empire artist built his reputation through solo projects like Yellow Tape, Glockoma, and Glockoma 2. His gritty delivery and heavy Southern production helped establish him as a standout voice in modern hip-hop.
His partnership with the late Young Dolph also strengthened his rise. Their collaborative releases, Dum and Dummer and Dum and Dummer 2, became fan favorites and streaming successes.
Key Glock’s star power continues to rise as he is featured on Sexyy Red’s new single, “Hang With A Bad Bitch.” The latest rumor cycle showed how quickly misinformation can explode online.
