Following reports of Houston rapper Big T’s death, multiple outlets used a photo of battle rapper Big T, causing confusion among Hip Hop fans. Billboard, Page Six and The Daily Mail all used a photo of the wrong Big T.
The problem — of course — is battle rapper Big T is alive and well.

Billboard has since updated its story with the correct photo, but a Twitter post still incorrectly displays the Chicago battle rapper.
The outlet issued a correction on the original article that reads: “Billboard issues an apology to our readers and rapper Big T from Chicago for inadvertently using his photo in the originally reported story.”
RIP, Big T https://t.co/yfdivm3He2 pic.twitter.com/dFzL5heY23

Loooool @DailyMailUK Getting the wrong Big T into the obituaries. The Big T in the picture is about 20 years younger and definitely still alive. Is his family and fanbase going to get an apology? I guess they all look the same to you?https://t.co/ECi7xyRhDa
