Jay Sean death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the singer’s alleged demise gained traction on Friday after a ‘R.I.P. Jay Sean’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the English singer’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Friday (December 20, 2024), our beloved singer Jay Sean passed away. Jay Sean was born on March 26, 1981 in Harlesden. He 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 43-year-old singer, songwriter and 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 English network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a singer of Jay Sean's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that 68% still think false Jay Sean death rumors are funny.
