Babi Rossi death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the singer’s alleged demise gained traction on Saturday after a ‘R.I.P. Babi Rossi’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Brazilian singer’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Saturday (December 21, 2024), our beloved singer Babi Rossi passed away. Babi Rossi was born on February 9, 1990 in São Paulo. 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 34-year-old singer and model 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 Brazilian network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a singer of Babi Rossi's stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that 56% still think false Babi Rossi death rumors are funny.
