Former Disney Channel star Kyle Massey is quite bothered by some of the rumors circulating about him on Twitter.

Recently news was spread announcing that the 21-year-old Massey was dying from cancer. Massey, however, claims this is not true.

"Overnight, it was trending on Twitter that I am dying of cancer," Massey told Entertainment Tonight in a statement.  I want to say first, 'I do not have cancer,' and I don't know where this inconsiderate and insensitive rumor originated from."

Massey goes on to state that he has various family members and friends who have been ill or passed away from the disease and that jokes should not be made at the expense of people who are suffering from something they cannot control.

"This hoax is just plain classless! Especially in light of the various tragedies happening this weekend and the Trayvon Martin verdict," the That's So Raven star continued.

However, the false rumor about Massey is now being lumped together with several other recent problems in a popular Twitter post.

"Cory Monteith passed away - Kyle Massey has cancer - Trayvon Martins killer not guilty - Casey Anthony is pregnant," reads the post which currently has over 2,800 retweets.

"Mom, can you pick me up? I'm scared," reads the caption on the accompanying photo.

While Cory Monteith has passed away and George Zimmerman was found not guilty, Massey would like the false rumor to stay separate from maters that the public should actually be concerned with.
