On 28 August 2014, the web site Huzlers published an article positing that rapper Tupac Shakur, thought to have been killed when he was shot as he rode in a car driven by Death Row Records chairman Suge Knight near the Las Vegas strip in September 1996, was alive and had emerged from hiding: By the following day links and excerpts referencing this article were being circulated via social media, with many of those who encountered the item mistaking it for a genuine news report. However, that article was just a spoof from Huzlers, a fake news web site that offers users the ability to Create your own news prank and trick your friends by sharing it and has a history of publishing fabricated news stories (such as one about pop star Justin Bieber's admitting to being bisexual and one about the 2014 Super Bowl being rigged). The Huzlers site also carries a disclaimer on its pages noting that Huzlers.com is a combination of real shocking news and satire news to keep its visitors in a state of disbelief.
