On November 26, a claim surfaced on TikTok that popular Instagram comedian MK Slatt has passed away. Posted by “dark humor expert” @dankyunderground, it featured a 21-second reel showing a few of Slatt’s famous antics and was headlined:
“Instagram comedian MK Slatt passes away at the age of 23. Further investigation is still processing.”
Captioned “RIP MK Slatt," the post garnered severe traction earning 467,100 views, 37,700 reactions, 1761 comments, and 13,900 shares, at the time of publishing this article. Lady Harmony’s Better Than Good To Me played in the background.

While the TikTok claim remains unverified, MK Slatt’s close friend and fellow Instagram artist Mr On My Kidz (@reggiebaybee7414) refuted the rumor in the comment section of the comedian’s last post on Instagram, by writing, “He not dead y’all.” Dated April 8, 2023, it showed Slatt receiving an award for earning 1 million YouTube subscribers.
Not only that but less than 24 hours ago, @reggiebaybee7414 also shared a video post on the platform demanding MK Slatt’s release from prison. Sharing an old reel of them performing together, he captioned the post:
“How N**gas Be Tellin On Each Other When They Say You Gettin Life In Prison. Free My Lil Brudda @mk.slatt.”
