B.o.B, whose Grammy-nominated single Nothin’ on You took the world by storm in 2009, returned to social media on Wednesday and reshared a post from a fan praising one of his musical bangers.

“I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since this video dropped. It’s still a banger!” a fan captioned a video of B.o.B’s 2019 single Soul Glo.

Social media users went into a frenzy on Tuesday after rumors on TikTok spread that B.o.B was dead.

One person on X, formerly Twitter, wrote, “The government killed B.o.B.”

“Y’all heard B.o.B died?” another said.

Others sought to clarify the rumors, with one insisting, “The man is not dead.”

But B.o.B, who has largely been out of the limelight for the last decade, ignored the gossip and shared a clip prompting his new music song, Steve Harvey.

“N****s ask where I have been at, well I tell you where I been at, not on Epstein’s island, at home not d**k riding,” B.o.B raps.

Fans exhaled a sigh of relief after learning the rumors were not true.

“People really need to stop playing with death. My heart sank so low for a second,” one person commented under B.o.B’s post.

A second said, “TikTok is dead wrong for this.”

B.o.B arrived on the hip-hop scene in 2006 when he signed with fellow Georgia rapper T.I.’s Grand Hustle Records.

He rose to prominence in late 2009 with the release of Nothin’ on You featuring Bruno Mars.

The song achieved commercial success when it peaked on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and received three Grammy nominations, including Record of the Year, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

A year later, B.o.B released Airplanes featuring Paramore singer Hayley Williams.

The single ranked No.6 on Billboard’s 2010 end-of-year charts and has nearly 800 million Spotify streams since.
