DramaAlert host Keemstar clears up April Fool's joke surrounding his "death"

YouTuber and social media personality Keemstar has announced that his "death" as announced by his news channel, DramaAlert, was part of a joke on the annual custom of April Fool's Day.

The channel's "management" had made multiple posts on X, with the first stating that the creator's passing had led the DramaAlert team to consider "temporarily dissolving." It further expressed that it would "restructure" at a later date:

"In light of Keemstar's passing, the DramaAlert news team will be temporarily dissolving as we take time to mourn and restructure. We appreciate your understanding during this challenging period."

To add to the credibility of the claims, the account made several other posts as well, including an "in memoriam" video of the creator:

DramaAlert also reposted other celebrities who partook in the prank, including Sidemen member Olajide "KSI" and fellow YouTube personality WillyMacShow. The news show's account had also claimed that the team would continue Daniel's legacy through "the use of AI," much to the amusement of fans.
