There’s a bizarre conspiracy theory surfacing on the Internet.
On TikTok, a video went viral claiming that Hamlin died and that the Hamlin that was at the Bills-Bengals game on Sunday was a ‘clone” because cameras never showed his face clearly.
@barebonespodcast Not trying to be “that guy”, but a lot of what I saw today doesn’t make any sense. Am I the only one? #barebonespodcast #podcast #nfl #buffalo #buffalobills #damarhamlin #fyp

So people think Damar Hamlin didn't make it and a clone is walking around? You know what? I want the earth to stop spinning. I cannot take this anymore. I cannot live among these people anymore.

Hamlin reacted to the conspiracy theory by trolling people who think he’s a clone.

One weirdo started a rumor / conspiracy on TikTok that Damar Hamlin didn’t want to be seen at the game or doesn’t show his face in pictures, because he’s “dead” and has been cloned. 🤦🏽♂️ And now he’s trolling the trolls. 😂 https://t.co/VWIRkjg46K

Even Josh Allen had to address the dumb clone conspiracy theory.
