The internet has been going crazy with rumors flying around about Too Short being dead!  What!  No way I love this guy he can't be dead!  Well it turns out he's in fact very much alive!

Today on his twitter Too Short tweets "I'm not dead dammit!"  He also goes on to further explain where he's been tweeting "Stop calling my phone. I'm not dead. Been in the lab working on my 19th album."

Further shutting down the rumor, TMZ reports that they have actually spoken with the rapper on the phone (TMZ)

And just to make sure, we spoke to the guy on the phone -- and we're pretty sure that settles it ... the guy's alive.

Either that ... or ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE.

So tell your friend that keeps texting you that Too Short is dead to STFU, he's more alive then any of us!
