Slim Jxmmi death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the rapper’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. Slim Jxmmi’ 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 Sunday (November 03, 2024), our beloved rapper Slim Jxmmi passed away. Slim Jxmmi was born on December 29, 1993 in Inglewood. 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 30-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 Slim Jxmmi's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (94%) of respondents think those Slim Jxmmi death rumors are not funny anymore.
