On 26 December 2016, the web site Gummy Post published an article which reported that the musician Kodak Black was shot outside a nightclub in Florida: This article is a hoax. The Gummy Post claimed that the information was gathered from a police report, but we have found no record of a shooting involving Kodak Black (real name Dieuson Octave) in Florida in December 2016. Gummy Post also published a video purportedly showing the crime scene from Kodak Black's shooting, but it actually showed an unrelated crime scene: While the Gummy Post does not carry a readily available disclaimer labeling its content as fiction, the web site has been responsible for spreading fake news in the past. The web site also reported that Hulk Hogan had passed away in November 2016, and that U.S. President Barack Obama had pardoned musician C-Murder. Neither of these stories contained any truth.
