April Fools\u2019 Day<\/a>, which annually makes a very strong case for why it should potentially be crowned the most annoying day of the year, is upon us once again.<\/p>\n

As expected, the 2026 edition of the hoaxes<\/a> and pranks<\/a>-laden custom has been rife with the usual slew of fake announcements and marketing stunts. What separates this year from past April Fools\u2019 Days, of course, is that social media is already pretty much filled with misleading or outright fabricated claims on a daily basis now, arguably putting a dent in any would-be fun.<\/p>\n

Still, that hasn\u2019t stopped plenty of people from trying. 50 Cent<\/a>, Eminem<\/a>, IShowSpeed<\/a>, and more all got in on the action this year. We even had a fake (but intriguing) James Bond<\/a> casting announcement thrown at us today.<\/p>\n

Below, we take a closer look while taking comfort in the fact that all of this will soon be over.<\/p>\n

50 Cent<\/h2>\n

50 Cent, always active on Instagram, took to the platform on Wednesday (April 1) to seemingly announce that Hulu had put up tens of millions of dollars for his new documentary project. When making the claim, Fif included the TMZ logo, despite no such story actually having been published by the outlet, or elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cHULU wins in a bidding war against STARZ, NETFLIX, and APPLE for my new doc,\u201d he wrote in the April Fools\u2019 Day post.<\/p>\n
