Expressing disappointment over the spread of misinformation, he added, "Please stop spreading fake news." He questioned why anyone would circulate such rumours and appealed to users to verify information before sharing it online.

The entrepreneur also reflected on the emotional impact such misinformation can have on family members, friends and well-wishers. He said false reports of someone's death are not harmless jokes, as they can cause panic and unnecessary distress to loved ones.

Billore's clarification quickly gained traction on social media, with many users expressing relief after learning that he was safe. Several followers condemned those responsible for creating and amplifying the fake news, calling for greater accountability on digital platforms.

Many users also highlighted the growing problem of misinformation on social media, where unverified posts often spread rapidly before facts are established. The incident has reignited discussions about the importance of responsible online behaviour and fact-checking before forwarding sensational claims.
