Jaden Smith Dead: Will Smith Son NOT Dead – Who Started The Hoax?

‘Jaden Smith dead’ reports that baffled and worried its readers were finally proven wrong! The aspiring singer and rapper young star is very much alive! In fact, he’s pretty active on his social media.
In July 2016, Jaden Smith dead news was circulating the Internet, particularly on Facebook. The culprit had some fans believe the post was real when it had Jaden’s birth date as well as the supposed deceased date on it. CNN was also used as a source to attract people to click the link.


RedHotChilliSauce.Press propagated the rumors saying Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s son had committed suicide.
Meanwhile, Snopes debunked the rumors, proving that the website that says Jaden has died is a click-bait spam. Jaden Smith dead news was shared on Facebook a number of times, deceiving its clickers to download apps such as ‘Smart Mobiles’, ‘Top Feeds’, and ‘Gadgy Land’.
Internet hoaxes announcing celebrities are dead or have committed suicide have been quite a trend these days. The people behind those deceiving posts use actors’ names, thus misleading the fans for their own benefits.

Click bait stories such as this and others like ‘Rowan Atkinson dead’ news are hackers’ way to spread Internet viruses such as malware. Snopes noted that some sites even hijack clickers’ social media accounts.
 Jade was also reportedly working with Kanye West for his highly anticipated birthday album. In July, he posted a snippet of a video he’s been creating for his fans.
