Comedian Steve Harvey recently became the victim of a viral death hoax on social media, with RIP Harvey trending across multiple platforms.

The trend originated on July 18, 2023, after the passing of Harvey Doyle, a regular caller to a Kentucky radio station. Due to a misunderstanding, some social media users mistook the news of Doyle's passing for that of Steve Harvey.

On July 18, 2023, RIP Harvey became a trending topic on Twitter. Initially, the hashtag was used to express condolences for the loss of Harvey Doyle. However, the trend quickly spread beyond its original context, leading to confusion among those who were unaware of Doyle's passing.

For those who were confused by the recent Twitter trend, RIP Harvey does not refer to the popular game show host and celebrity judge. Steve Harvey is alive and well.
