Fans shut down baseless rumors
Jaden's fans took to Twitter to quell the rumor about his death as the rumors were taking hold.
One tweeted: "So, Jaden Smith is alive. Wonder why a group of TikTokers declared him dead in a car accident. Nasreko Bill should address those careless people."
"I checked Will Smith's page several times, Jada's page and Willow's page. I think it's just a popularity stand! Jaden Smith is alive and trust me!" Another wrote.
One outraged fan said: "To those who tell that false story that Jaden Smith died in a car accident, you're all next level sick. Imagine how much pain his family must have suffered until that." They didn't confirm it was a hoax. 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour. You all have to do your own investigation."
