August 3, 2026 — Widespread confusion spread across social media after an obituary-style message appeared on the official X account of Monty Lopez, the father of singer and social media personality Addison Rae. The unexpected post prompted speculation that the 50-year-old businessman and actor had died, despite the absence of any official confirmation from his family, representatives, or law enforcement authorities.

The message, written in the style of an obituary, described Lopez as someone who would be remembered for his “larger-than-life personality” and stated that he was survived by his children and loved ones. Although the post did not specifically state that he had died or identify a cause of death, many readers interpreted it as a death announcement, leading to widespread discussion across social media platforms.

The speculation intensified after online databases and user-edited pages briefly reflected August 3, 2026, as Lopez’s date of death. However, no credible news organization or official source confirmed those reports.

Questions surrounding the authenticity of the obituary post grew after activity continued on Lopez’s social media accounts. Approximately 15 hours after the message was published, an Instagram Story was posted from his account featuring a Drake song, prompting many users to question whether the obituary post had been genuine or the result of a hoax or unauthorized activity.

Prior to the incident, Lopez had documented several recent emergency room visits on social media. He shared photographs from a hospital showing medical monitoring equipment and intravenous treatment, while also posting that he had made multiple trips to the emergency department over a two-week period. Although these posts confirmed he had been receiving medical care, they did not establish any life-threatening condition or provide evidence supporting reports of his death.

As of this publication, there has been no official confirmation regarding Monty Lopez’s reported death or any cause of death. Neither members of his family nor his representatives have released a statement verifying the obituary-style post. Likewise, no verified reports from law enforcement agencies, medical authorities, or established news organizations have confirmed that Lopez has died.

The conflicting social media activity has fueled significant public speculation, with many users questioning the authenticity of the posts and others urging caution until verified information becomes available. Until an official statement is issued, the circumstances surrounding the viral obituary post remain unresolved.

Should the Lopez family release information regarding an obituary, funeral, or memorial service, those arrangements will be shared through official channels. Pending confirmation from the family and appropriate authorities, not all information published on this website may be accurate.
