Ash Kaashh is not dead. The American social media influencer from Chicago, Illinois is not only alive but healthy and strong, and still very much active with her career. The 26 year-old became a victim of a death hoax that had many mourning her passing even though she was very much alive and kicking.
In addition to her career as a social media influencer, Ash makes a living as a model and professional nail artist. Her rise to stardom as an internet personality began in 2018 when she launched her Instagram account which now has 2.9 million followers. Leveraging the fame she found online through sharing exciting content, she created her nail business called Heaven Sent Nails and has been all the way up ever since.
What Started the Ash Kaashh Death Hoax?
Like every other death hoax that has been debunked, the Ash Kaashh death hoax began online. It started with a picture that depicted that her Instagram account has been memorialized. When someone with an Instagram account dies, the platform normally memorializes their profile in a bid to help maintain their privacy.
Memorialized accounts show the word “Remembering” next to the person’s name on their profile, and so was it for the Kaashh death hoax pictures that circulated online. As the picture showed Ash Kaashh’s official account in the background, it is not hard to see why people bought the story and ran with it.
It spread like wildfire that the influencer had passed on but then it soon emerged that her account functions like regular accounts do, with no pop-up message alluding to her death as the circulating picture depicts. For all we know, it seems someone created a fake picture with her Instagram account and spread it online. Whoever was behind this has remained unknown just as the purpose of the deplorable act is unfathomable.
How Did Her Fans React to the Hoax?
Ash Kaashh’s fans were shocked, stunned, and saddened by her supposed death. They reacted to the fake news about her death the way anyone would react to news about the passing of someone dear to them. Some were quick to send out their condolences to her family, while others shared the fake picture about her death in a bid to confirm or have the news debunked.
Of course, many rushed to her social media pages for clues and this was how people got to realize that something was amiss— her Instagram was not memorialized as the circulating picture claims and she seems to be active online. She had posted on her accounts a few hours before the reports about her death started spreading.
While her concerned fans were agitated to get a credible report on the situation, something like an official statement from her management or family, those behind the fake news took their disreputable act a notch higher. This time, a picture that showed an email from Facebook which stated that the platform had honored a request to memorialize Kaashh’s account was what they circulated.
How Did Ash Kaashh Debunk the Hoax?
Ash Kaashh reacted to the death hoax about her in a classy manner. She refused to dignify the false news with a response but has made it clear that she is alive by sharing pictures of herself and keeping her followers informed about what she is up to.
She continues to thrive as an influencer and businesswoman, with her numbers of followers soaring across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Onlyfans.
