American rapper Daylyt causes Twitter storm after apparently mocking Robin Williams' death in new video
Controversial American rapper Daylyt faced a Twitter backlash after posting a recording of a rap that apparently mocks the death of Robin Williams.
In his latest recording the battle rapper suggests that the actor - who was found at his California home on Tuesday after committing suicide – will go to hell.
He uses the lyrics: “Everybody saying Robin Williams dead, dead body stinkin knew it would smell, you done tried suicide you going’ to hell.”

A still image at the beginning of the video shows Robin Williams with Daylyt’s tattooed face super imposed over the top.
Users on the social media site have branded him attention seeking while others on Youtube have criticised him for capitalising on the death of celebrities.
One wrote: “Day. This is getting out of hand man. F**k you.”
Followers of London based grime MC Wiley expressed their views after he tweeted: “Daylyt Releases Controversial 'Robin Williams' Song After His Death.”
It is not the first time that the highly controversial rapper has found himself in deep water for writing inappropriate lyrics.
Shortly after the death of Fast and the Furious actor Paul Walker he uploaded a video of himself with others in a car singing the lyrics: “I be speeding till I crash, Paul Walker” and “hundred miles per hour, crash, kill myself.”
The story comes after Twitter trolls sent photoshopped images of the late actor, supposedly after his death, to his daughter Zelda Williams.
Although the abusive tweeters have since had their accounts suspended, the grieving 23-year-old was so “shaken” that she left the social media site.
