Other places have confirmed it though too.
The original source is mto news, which itself looks like a horribly designed website (almost
blog like) and claims its the most visited african american news site? which I really doubt

Then you have a bunch of clickbait sites which then spread it without any actual confirmation like "comicbook", "mynintendonews", "bleedingcoolnews", a youtuber called "ProtoMario" (all which have a terrible reputation for any type of factual reporting)
While other actual reputable game journalism sites won't post it without their own confirmation.
It's how fake news spreads.
I do expect nintendo to take some sort of action eventually but right now you can buy these things without the soulja boy on amazon right now.
