Many people recently took to Twitter and posted tweets claiming that 21-year-old rapper Lil Xan is dead! But is it really true? Did Lil Xan die? No! The news about Lil Xan’s death is not true, and we at EarnTheNecklace.com are here to tell you why!

Diego Leanos, the 21-year-old rapper known by his stage name, Lil Xan, is currently in the limelight. Not because of his rap music, but because several people are wondering if Lil Xan is alive or dead!

At least two people recently took to Twitter and posted that Lil Xan was found dead in Miami and the news spread swiftly. It birthed the rumor and people began to search for the truth. So, is Lil Xan dead?

However, the news appears to be fake. Lil Xan is very much alive, and there is no news about him being ill or dead.

In fact, Channel24News.com posted an article titled, “Lil Xan Dead At Age 21.” The date of the article is not mentioned, but it says that Lil Xan died at around 2:08 a.m. in a car crash while under the influence of marijuana and “lean”, which is a mix of jolly ranchers, sprite, and codeine.

However, the top of the article reads, “You Got Owned,” and further states, “You’ve Been Pranked!” This means that the article is fake, and Lil Xan is very much alive.
