After a fatal car crash in Texas, rumors floated around twittersphere that said Lil Eazy E had died in the crash. However, he recently confirmed that he’s alive and well in a phone call to his friend.

According to reports, Lil Eazy E whose real name is Eric Wright Jr. called his friend and journalist Jasmyne Cannick and left a message that he’s alive and well, though not too well. The Associated Press reported that Texas Dept. of Public Safety Trooper Ryan Case said Saturday that the star’s name was found on a rental agreement for one of the cars in the crash that took place in East Texas on Friday. That’s why he was mistakenly listed as being killed in the crash, making it look like it wasn’t a rumor originating out of the blue.

Lil Eazy E posted on twitter that the accident took lives of his close friends and cousin that include Debra Thompson, Curtis Sandes, Michael Mathis and Lawrence Bridnac III. The car that collided with the rental one had 29-year-old Sonia de la Torre and her three young children who were also killed in the collision.
