    One week later, Ervin McKinness' friends are trying to clear his name — he wasn't the driver — and draw attention to the amateur rapper's YouTube account.

    According to The Sun, Ervin McKinness, 21, an aspiring rapper who also went by the name Inkyy — died alongside four other men shortly after tweeting this. The driver of their 2005 Nissan Sentra had ran a red light and slammed into a wall. (McKinness was not the driver.)

    Technically, though, McKinness' last tweet was responding to a friend who asked where he was.

    It now appears someone has taken over McKinness' Twitter account to try and clear his name.
