Dennis Rodman Silences Death Hoax with Epic Comeback: ‘Yesss Sirr Alive and Well’
Chicago, Illinois – April 2
NBA legend Dennis Rodman has once again proven he’s larger than life—this time by shutting down bizarre death rumors with a fiery Facebook post. The 63-year-old five-time champion and Chicago Bulls icon became the center of a wild hoax that sent the internet into a frenzy, falsely claiming he had died in an “autoerotic asphyxiation accident.”
The absurd rumor erupted in the early hours of April 1, 2025, when multiple parody accounts on X and Facebook began spreading the fake news that Rodman had been “found dead in his apartment.” Within hours, the misinformation went viral, making “Dennis Rodman dead” one of the top-trending Google searches. Fans scrambled for answers, typing in “Dennis Rodman cause of death” and “Is Dennis Rodman alive?” as speculation reached a boiling point.
Then, in classic Rodman fashion, the man himself put the rumors to rest with a no-nonsense Facebook post: “Yesss Sirr Alive and Well.” With that, the NBA Hall of Famer dunked on the internet trolls spreading the hoax.
The reaction was swift and passionate. One fan raged, “I’m so sick of people playing on other people’s demise!!! Glad you’re alive & well.” Another joked, “I was just about to put my bereavement days in. I love you.” Others simply expressed their relief, with one writing, “That Dennis Rodman passing away joke was not funny. Death is not a joke even on April Fools’ Day.”
Rodman, known for his flamboyant persona both on and off the court, has never been a stranger to controversy. A defensive juggernaut and rebounding machine, he dominated the NBA with the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and Dallas Mavericks. Beyond basketball, he became a professional wrestling sensation, winning the first-ever Celebrity Championship Wrestling tournament, and later dived into reality TV, appearing on Celebrity Mole, Love Island, and Celebrity Big Brother.
Rodman’s ability to thrive in chaos has always been his signature, and this latest internet stunt was no exception. Love him or hate him, one thing is clear—Dennis Rodman is still very much alive, and the Worm isn’t going anywhere.
