However, sharp-eyed netizens began to question the authenticity of the reports. They noted that Ch1tkey had been actively playing his favorite game until the supposed date of his death. Furthermore, there were no records of a fire department response at the time of the alleged accident, raising suspicions about the validity of the incident.
One netizen provided a crucial piece of information, claiming, “Someone I know lives in the apartment building where Ch1tkey resides. The police came, and someone inside said it was a stunt to draw attention to his album. Both his girlfriend and Ch1tkey were present.” This revelation cast serious doubt on the initial narrative, suggesting that the entire episode was orchestrated for publicity.

Amid the growing skepticism, Ch1tkey took to social media to reveal the truth. He posted a simple greeting, “Hello,” followed by the release of his new track “Back.” This confirmed that the reports of his death were indeed a hoax designed to attract attention.
