(May 28th 2017) RuPaul's Drag Race Season 2 winner,
James William Ross IV/Tyra Sanchez, falsely reported via his Twitter account that White had died after a dispute with one of White's drag colleagues. White decided to pull out of a performance where Ross would also be performing that same night. However, the management of the nightclub decided to cancel Ross' show without White's knowledge, leading to White's fans to believe the false rumour. White responded to the story on his Facebook feed, criticising Ross' actions.
