‘RIP Josh’ trends as X users claim actor Josh Peck is dead, but here’s the truth

A weird phrase that started trending on X (previously Twitter) took the web by storm late Monday, September 4. ‘RIP Josh’ started trending, prompting scores of Josh Peck’s followers to consider the actor had died. Josh notably featured on the ‘Nickelodeon’ collection ‘Drake & Josh.’

An X consumer named Katsu was the primary to share a put up saying Josh was useless. “RIP Josh Peck, thank you for all the childhood memories,” the consumer wrote on X.

While some fell for the faux news and began sharing ‘RIP Josh’ posts, others questioned the declare as no credible media home had reported it. No one from the actor’s staff and household had confirmed the declare both. People refused to consider the declare as Josh had shared a put up on Instagram lower than 24 hours in the past.

Is Josh Peck okay?

Multiple social media customers later debunked the rumours to verify that Josh may be very a lot alive. One consumer advised that it was a “MAGA cultist” who really died, and never Josh. A put up on X paid tribute who the precise Josh who allegedly died. “Josh out worked 99% of political activists, and he did so being a quadriplegic, living in a nursing home in the middle of nowhere. He’s an example of what one man can accomplish against all odds and with a fantastic work ethic and attitude. We love you, bro. Rest in paradise,” X consumer Brenden Dilley wrote.

“okay so when I see RIP Josh, I panic and think it means Josh Peck’s dead. Turns out it ain’t that, it’s some MAGA cultist who died. Honestly good riddance, got damn bait and switched. Least we still have the TRUE Josh with us. Also y’all should watch Drake and Josh RIGHT NOW,” one X consumer wrote. “RIP Josh is NOT Josh Peck. Josh Peck is just fine. It’s whoever this Jack a** was,” one consumer mentioned, sharing a put up concerning the precise Josh who died. One consumer wrote, “RIP Josh is NOT Josh Peck. Josh Peck is just fine.” “Josh Peck is ALIVE, please STOP spreading FALSE misinformation on a person especially if you have no personal connection with them,” one consumer wrote.
