Recent Legal Troubles
The rumors come in the wake of significant legal challenges for the comedian.
In December 2023, MK Slatt was arrested during a narcotics investigation in Alabama.
Law enforcement charged him with two counts of drug trafficking, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, and paraphernalia possession.
Leeds Police Chief Paul Irwin made a strong statement about the arrest, highlighting the dangerous nature of the operation:
“It is obvious from the items recovered that these individuals were inside a residence, which was packaging narcotics for sale and modifying firearms to make them fully automatic.”

Online Persona And Redemption
Known for his dynamic online skits and comedic characters, MK Slatt has always maintained a complex public image.
Despite his controversial content, he consistently emphasizes his faith, often including captions about Jesus Christ and wearing church youth program merchandise.
His last upload before the arrest was a music video for “Demon Slacker,” a track in which he raps about overcoming sinful ways and declaring his faith.
The video, which shows him holding a gun and smoking, was ironically praised by fans as “the hardest gospel drill song.”
While MK Slatt has been inactive since April 2023, he bonded out after his December arrest.
The death rumor appears to be nothing more than an internet hoax perpetuated by a social media account known for its dark humor.
