To everyone’s surprise, the Corn Kid is fortunately not dead, and the entire series of events thus happening so far is baseless. The news of his death happens to be a rumor spread by some random internet pages, and since then, fans of the young lad have been concerned about him.

Tariq also took to his official TikTok page and shared with his fans that he was safe and asked them not to fall for the rumors. He said:

“Hi everyone please dont believe the rumors of me being dead. I’m alive, healthy and happy. Wishing you all a Corntastic day!”

People started spreading rumors after seeing a fake article that stated, “7-year-old Corn Kid discovered dead last Sunday in gang-related shooting.” People soon began to speculate about the young boy’s passing. Before making its way to other social media platforms, the altered message circulated on Twitter.

The picture that’s going around was later revealed to be an altered news headline that appears to imply Tariq has passed away. The original article, however, is entirely different and discusses the Corn Kid and his song, which has been going viral on social media.

The Corn-boy started trending after some internet pages alleged him of being shot down dead by local gang shooters. Since then, fans and admirers of the young boy curiously started to investigate his whereabouts.

During the previous summer, Tariq achieved internet fame after featuring in a Playtime Therapy video where he expressed his love for corn. The video quickly went viral on Instagram and TikTok, and it even inspired a unique song created by TikTok users.

Tariq, famously known as the “Corn Kid,” has since collaborated with prominent companies such as Chipotle and Mr Beast Burger. Additionally, he was officially named South Dakota’s “corn-bassador.” Recently, there were rumors circulating online about Tariq’s death resulting from a “gang-related shooting.” However, these rumors are entirely false, and Tariq is alive and well.

Corn kid’s real name is Tariq, and he gained attention for his reaction to learning that corn is real and his unwavering love for the vegetable.

Recognizing that Tariq has rightfully earned the esteemed title of “Corn-bassador” for South Dakota in the United States is crucial. His remarkable achievements have even led Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota to declare September 3, 2022, as the official “Corn-bassador Tariq Day” in his honor.

Tariq has recently embarked on two exciting ventures. Firstly, he has been appointed as South Dakota’s Corn-ambassador. Secondly, he had the privilege of attending the premiere of the “Pinocchio” live-action movie. He has also joined Cameo, the website that enables fans to pay celebrities for personalized shout-outs.

In his viral video, Tariq speaks about himself and his never-ending love for corn. The video, which has had over 3.3 million views on YouTube, over 1.9 million views on Instagram, and more than 23 million views for a TikTok version, has the youngster saying that he likes playing a variety of activities, including hide-and-seek.

Were you also terrified knowing that the young lad was dead? Have you seen any of Tariq’s videos before?

Do you think it’s high time that people stop spreading fake rumors about celebrities to get some traffic on their pages? Do you also find it insensitive? Do let us know!
