MK Slatt, a well-known social media comedian, has denied widespread rumors of his death that recently went viral. 

The rumors began after a TikTok video from the account @dankyunderground claimed that MK Slatt, whose real name is Marquel Holmes, had died at the age of 23. The post, which read, “Instagram comedian MK Slatt passes away at the age of 23. Further investigation is still processing,” quickly gained traction, causing confusion and concern among fans.

As the video spread, many fans expressed disbelief, unsure whether the claims were true. The false narrative was swiftly debunked when Slatt's cousin, Wigsby K Way, stepped in to reassure the public.
