Online rumors indicate that Stephen “tWitch” Boss and his family were in financial trouble at the time of his suicide, which is absolutely untrue, according to sources.

Investigative social media users are attempting to determine what may have prompted tWitch to commit suicide.

One common idea was that he had made significant cryptocurrency investments and suffered substantial losses based on some of the accounts he liked on Instagram.

According to our sources, Stephen met Columbus through the dancing community, and all of their social encounters were related to their respective employment.

The truth behind the rumor

That is untrue, according to sources with firsthand information; Stephen wasn’t going through any financial difficulty at the time of his suicide, they said.

Additionally, according to our law enforcement sources, no one in the family has raised money concerns with Stephen.

The social media rumor was further fueled by a video released by actor Columbus Short, who revealed his notion that tWtich might have had financial problems.

Columbus Short, the star of “Stomp the Yard,” has offered his unsupported “thesis” of what he believes may have prompted dancer Stephen “tWitch” Boss to commit suicide earlier this week.

The 40-year-old actor, who starred alongside Boss in the 2010 “Homecoming” prequel to “Stomp,” said in a since-deleted Instagram video on Thursday that the 40-year-old former DJ of Ellen DeGeneres may have “invested in something that took his whole life savings.”

In the 112-minute screen filmed and shared on Twitter footage, Short said, “This is just a theory. People made investments, people do a lot of stuff. What if you invested that, potentially, required your entire life savings? It gets difficult. You guys don’t realize what people are going through.”

Short continued after beginning his statement with “RIP tWitch. People are terrible. The legacy of tWitch will continue because he was and still is outstanding.”

Short’s unsupported claim “has absolutely no veracity,” according to a person close to Boss.

After outlining his unproven theory, he changed his direction. He appeared to distinguish between Tracy Christian, the head of Hollywood’s sole black talent agency, and Short said to be Christian’s client.

Short began by stating that “Tracy Christian still haven’t handed me my money – and this is what I’m talking about,” adding that he didn’t want to speak too much on matters he thought might have harmed Boss.

“You can’t pay me my money because you got caught up, can you? in an escrow account? I have no confidence in your account. I don’t trust you, Tracy Christian,” he said before crudely announcing, “And I won’t commit suicide, I swear it. Pay me my money, please.”

It’s unknown if Boss has ever had any connections with her. 

However, the rumor that he was going through financial problems is false.
