In December 2014, the entertainment website Huzlers published an article reporting that rapper Bobby Shmurda had been stabbed to death at Rikers Island prison: While it's true Shmurda was arrested in December 2014, the claims made about his demise on Riker's Island are false. Huzlers is a fake news site that publishes a combination of urban news and satirical entertainment to keep its visitors in a state of disbelief. In this case, the entertainment site accurately reported Bobby Shmurda had been arrested on a variety of drug, weapon and attempted murder charges and was being held at Rikers on $2 million bail (eventually receiving a sentence of seven years in prison). The rest of the article, however, was the figment of author Warlock's imagination.
