Today a hacked Sony account spreads false news –  “RIP @britneyspears”

Nowadays these rumours occurs often with celebrities profiles, today from hacked Sonymusic account they tweeted Britney Spears has died, but nope: She’s alive and well.

It all started when Sony Music Global sent out a tweet saying “RIP @britneyspears,” then followed it up with another tweet saying “britney spears is dead by accident! we will tell you more soon.”

Sony Music later came to clarify that Britney is not really dead.

From Britney’s Manager :

Britney’s manager, Adam Leber tells CNN, “I assume their account has been hacked.” He continues on to say, “I haven’t spoken to anyone… as of yet but I am certain their account was hacked.

Britney is fine and well. There have been a few Internet clowns over the years who have made similar claims about her death, but never from the official Sony Music Twitter account.”
