What is a memorialized account?
A memorialized account is an Instagram feature that allows friends or family members of a deceased person to request the social media company to deactivate or memorialize their account. Once an account is memorialized, Instagram will not let anyone log into the account, and the word “Remembering” will appear next to the person’s name on their profile. According to Instagram, this is done to “honor and remember” someone who has passed away.
Who started the rumors of Ash Kaashh’s death?
The rumors of Ash Kaashh’s death began when a screenshot of her Instagram profile showing that it had been memorialized was shared on Twitter by some users. Some of them expressed shock and sadness over the news, while others questioned its authenticity.

However, it soon became clear that the screenshot was fake and that Ash Kaashh’s account had been hacked by another Instagram user who claimed to be part of a hacker group. The hacker posted several stories on their own account, boasting that they had gotten Ash Kaashh’s page memorialized “for the endorsement of child pornography”. They also shared a screenshot of an email they received from Facebook confirming that Ash Kaashh’s account had been memorialized.
How did Ash Kaashh react to the rumors?
Ash Kaashh herself has not yet confirmed or denied the rumors of her death publicly. However, she did share multiple stories on her official account hours before the rumors started circulating online, suggesting that she was alive and well. She also posted a video of herself dancing and singing along to a song on TikTok on May 4, 2021.
Moreover, when we checked, Ash Kaashh’s Instagram account was no longer memorialized, indicating that Instagram may have retracted the changes after realizing that it was a hoax. However, there has been no official statement from Instagram or Ash Kaashh regarding the incident.
What is the current status of Ash Kaashh?
As of now, Ash Kaashh seems to be continuing her normal activities as an influencer and a model. She regularly posts new content on her Instagram and OnlyFans accounts, as well as on her nail art business page called Heaven Sent Nails. She also interacts with her fans and followers through comments and messages.
Ash Kaashh is not dead, but rather a victim of a cruel prank by a hacker who tried to tarnish her reputation and cause distress to her and her fans. We hope that she is doing well and that she will not let this incident affect her negatively. We also hope that Instagram will take measures to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future.
