Turkish PUBG streamer BARBAR confirms he is alive after death rumors

Popular Turkish PUBG Mobile content creator BARBAR (real name Halil) became the subject of widespread death and traffic‑accident rumors on social media. Searches for "BARBAR öldü mü" and related terms spiked after the streamer briefly paused his uploads, prompting unfounded claims that he had died. In a direct post, BARBAR refuted the rumors, stating: "Arkadaşlar iyiyim. Özdemir 13 yaş şakasını yapmış gene, uyuyordum. Yalan haberdir, itibar etmeyiniz." The streamer emphasized that he is healthy and continues to produce content. The incident illustrates how quickly misinformation can spread within gaming and e‑sport communities, especially when a high‑profile influencer goes silent for a short period.

Both articles confirm that the death rumors were false, and BARBAR remains active on his channels, reassuring his large follower base.
