By now you’ve probably all seen the Facebook hoax which claimed that Sylvester Stallone had died. Sly himself has certainly seen it and he has responded to the claims posting a video of himself with the caption: “It’s so great to be back from the dead!”

Here’s is the lowdown on the baffling recurring rumour about the Rambo star’s demise.
What is the Sylvester Stallone death hoax?
Facebook users reported seeing a fake message in September 2016 claiming Stallone had been found dead at his LA home.
It was later exposed as a hoax after it emerged it was linked to a website known for creating and sharing celebrity death hoaxes.
Fans feared the Hollywood hard man had passed away after vile pranksters spread a rumour across social media.
The fake news report, purporting to be by CNN, began circulating online suggesting Sly had been found dead, duping fans into mourning the Rocky star.
On the first occasion he proved he was not dead by posing for a picture with boxer Sergey Kovalev.
But the rumour has now returned to social media a year-and-a-half later.

The rumour was fueled by fake news articles being shared online

Why did people think he died yesterday
The return of the hoax appears to have been sparked by him sharing a fan poster for Creed II – the next instalment in the Rocky film series.
The film is the latest in the Rocky series and is about Apollo Creed’s son – played by Michael B. Jordan – getting ready to fight the son of Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren).
In the poster, which Stallone shared on his Instagram page, he and Lundgren can be seen standing behind the younger characters as they preapare to face off.
Sharing the picture, he wrote: “Fight time …FANPOSTER!!! Not official #creed 2 #healthylifestyle #rockybalboa1976.”
After seeing Sly’s face on the advert, some people on social media – still convinced that he was dead from the last hoax – reacted with confusion.

How did Sylvester Stallone confirm he was not dead?
Sly put the bizarre rumour he had passed on to bed by posting a tweet declaring he is “still punching” yesterday evening.
The Rocky star told fans to “ignore this stupidity” and confirmed he is “alive and well” after the rumour swept the internet.
He added: “Remember to always grab LIFE by the throat and do not let go until you succeed.”

The actor confirmed to fans he is still alive after a rumour of his death took off today

Who is Sylvester Stallone?
Sylvester, 71, was born on July 6, 1946 and played Rocky in the well-known series between 1976 and 2015.
He also played soldier John Rambo from the four Rambo films, which came out between 1982 and 2008, and was Barney Ross in the three The Expendables films between 2010 and 2014.
Impressively, he wrote or co-wrote most of the 14 films in all three of these franchises, and also directed the movies.
The Rocky film props have been placed in the Smithsonian museum, and Stallone was voted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2010.

Pastor Aloysious Bugingo of House of prayer Ministries and wife Suzan Makula have trashed allegations that they broke up.

Social media has been awash with news alleging that Pastor Bugingo and spouse Suzan Makula were at bad terms because the Pastor had committed adultery. The news also indicated that Makula had abandoned church over the same reason.

However, the two have come out to deny the breakup allegations and said nothing but only death will separate them.

In a YouTube interview with Kasuku, Suzan Makula and Pastor Bugingo trashed the rumours. Makula said she has been away from church because she had to attend to her mother who had been bedridden.

Makula further said that she is at times busy ministering at Sunday school and that aside, she goes to church to pray not to exhibit her presence.

Makula blamed the rumours on citizen journalists who circulate information before verifying its authenticity.

Pastor Bugingo on the other hand said the rumors making rounds are not true. Bugingo said he has stopped his wife Makula from taking the matter to court and urged her to remain silent.

“I told her to be silent on the matter and not go to court. Never step so low to take a stupid person in the courts of law,” Bugingo said.

The two also revealed that they have been together since 2017 as opposed to media reports that they started their affair in 2019.

In 2019,Pastor Bugingo filed for divorce with then wife Teddy Bugingo. Shortly after he paraded Suzan Makula as his official lover.

Legendary Musician Joseph Mayanja alias Jose Chameleone has run to House of Prayer Ministries International (HPMI) Pastor Aloysious Bujjingo to break Gwanga Mujje curse.

Of late, Chameleone has been shrouded in problems after his highly advertised concert was cancelled due to heavy rains that destroyed the stage on which he was set to perform that evening.

Sources at Wakaliga based Salt Media, where Pastor Bujjingo sits as CEO told theGrapevine that Chameleone stormed them at around 5:00pm in the evening in his black range Rover sport with GWANGA MUJJE number plate to be anointed and be prayed for so that the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ fight for him on 24th February when he steps again on stage.

Chameleone was warmly welcomed by Pastor Bujjingo and some of his assistants led by Pastor Denis Mukulu.

He was taken to Bujjingo’s office where the prayerful youthful pastor prayed for him and even anointed him with oil.

“They almost used a full bottle of anointing oil on him,” a source who attended the prayer meeting told theGrapevine.

It should be remembered that on Friday 10th February, Chameleone was set to step on stage again for his one-man concert dubbed Gwanga Mujje.

However, in the afternoon, heavy rains hit the magnificent stage and the section of the VIP. Some of the stage organisers were left hurt and Fenon Events equipment destroyed.

What happened with Jose Chameleon was the first ever of its kind. According to music critic and events’ organizer Eddy Ssendi, a similar event had happened in Nabugabo when promoter Abitex musinguzi aka Abitex promotions organized a stage on the shores of Nabugabo sand beach.

According to Top Secrets, a local English tabloid, Biggie Events, the official organizer of Ggwanga Mujje had already paid Chameleone Shs.150m and she was only waiting for her returns on investment.
