 　　“First Puffy takes everything I earned, now Instagram” Said the ‘Harlem World’ rapper in a heart felt Instagram message before deleting his page and later deleting himself from earth.

　　就在他删除了自己的主页之前，《Harlem World》的黑人说唱歌手在Instagram上发布了一条诚挚的消息：“First Puffy夺走了我的一切，如今是Instagram。”随后，他也把自己从地球上抹杀了。

　　Rapper Mase was found dead in his Atlanta home following an Instagram follower² purge³ that took the rapper from 1.2 million followers⁴ to only 200,000 revealing that most of his followers were purchased online. Mase first emerged on the scene with rap mogul Puff¹ Daddy in the 90’s and became one of the rap world’s biggest stars with multiple platinum⁵ hits under his belt.

　　在Instagram将这名说唱艺人的粉丝从120万清洗到只有12万，表明了大部分他的粉丝都是僵尸粉之后，饶舌歌手梅斯被发现死于亚特兰大的家中。梅斯初登荧幕是在20世纪90年代和说唱大亨吹牛老爹一起，并卖出多张唱片并成为了世界顶级说唱明星之一。

　　“I can’t lie I grew up on his music, but his preaching sucked! Especially when he would take up collection while wearing a $50,000 rolex” Said one man who attended the rapper’s church and said he was a member until he realized that Mase was funding his lavish⁶ life styling using church funds. Mase was found dead by a neighbor after he failed to join him in a prayer they had planned earlier that evening so he came to the rappers home where he found his body.“我不会撒谎，我就是听他的歌长大的，但是他讲道糟透了！尤其是他募捐的时候带着一只5万美元的劳力士手表，”一名去了梅斯教堂的男人说道，他也提到自己曾是教会的一员，直到他发现梅斯用教堂的资金滋润着自己纸醉金迷的生活。梅斯被一名邻居发现死在家中的，因为他没能去参加那晚之前他们计划的一场祷告，所以他去梅斯的家中看看，发现他已经死了。

　　Family members close to the rapper say he only had one wish in death and that was to be buried in the red shiny suit that made him famous, but with him being severely⁷ in debt the family is thinking of auctioning⁸ off the suit on Ebay to fund his funeral.

　　梅斯亲近的家人说，他死时就一个心愿，那就是穿上让他赫赫有名的亮闪闪红色套装，但是他欠了很多的债，家人正在考虑到Ebay上拍卖掉他的衣服用来办葬礼。
