Angel Haze death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the rapper’s alleged demise gained traction on Wednesday after a ‘R.I.P. Angel Haze’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American rapper’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday (April 17, 2024), our beloved rapper Angel Haze passed away. Angel Haze was born on July 10, 1991 in Detroit. She will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 32-year-old rapper was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.

Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a rapper of Angel Haze's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (53%) of respondents think those Angel Haze death rumors are not funny anymore.

Angel Haze Death Hoax Dismissed Since Rapper Is ‘Alive And Well’

On Thursday (April 18) the rapper's reps officially confirmed that Angel Haze is not dead. “She joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. She's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.

Some fans have expressed anger at the fake report saying it was reckless, distressing and hurtful to fans of the much loved rapper. Others say this shows her extreme popularity across the globe.
