Despite persistent rumors online, Cassi Davis, best known for her iconic role as Aunt Bam in Tyler Perry’s Madea franchise, is alive in 2025.
Unfortunately, the d*ath hoax surrounding the beloved actress has gained momentum once again this year, fueled by her absence from social media and the internet at large.
This isn’t the first time such baseless claims have misled fans. In fact, a similar rumor circulated in 2023, prompting Tyler Perry to step in and shut it down.
Tyler Perry Debunked The Rumor Back In 2023
Back in February 2023, Tyler Perry took to Instagram to slam a viral article falsely claiming that Davis had died of lung cancer at age 58.
The post, which even misspelled her name as “Cassie,” lacked credible sources and was quickly identified as fake.
Perry posted a screenshot of the article with “THIS IS A LIE” written in big red letters and shared this candid update with his followers:
“After I’ve gotten several calls from people giving me their condolences and I didn’t know what they were talking about, I was sent this article that’s going around… I called her and asked her was she dead and she said, ‘Hell no!’”
The media mogul was clearly frustrated with the hoax, warning those responsible:
“Please stop. You better be careful when you speak death over a child of God. This woman is loved by millions and you’re hurting a lot of people.”
Still Living Her Best Life
As Perry emphasized then, Cassi Davis isn’t on social media, which often adds fuel to the fire when these kinds of false reports circulate.
But just because she’s offline doesn’t mean she’s out of touch.
In 2023, Perry assured fans that Davis was “living her best life with no worries, no cares, no social media, and no drama” and that she was preparing to return for another season of House of Payne.
Even celebrities expressed their shock and relief once the truth came out.
Tamar Braxton admitted she “had a full-on panic attack” before texting Davis directly.
Meanwhile, actor Debbie Allen joked, “I want second dibs on the pool.”
Rapper Young Dro shared, “My niece was crying this morning because she thought Aunt Bam died.”
Don’t Believe The Hype
Fast-forward to 2025, and the same false rumor is sadly making the rounds again. However, as of this writing, there’s no truth to the claims.
Cassi Davis is alive and well, enjoying a drama-free life away from social media’s chaos.
While fans may not see regular updates from her, that’s by design.
The actress has always maintained a low profile outside of her work, preferring peace and privacy over digital fame.
So rest easy, Madea fans—Aunt Bam is still with us and is hopefully gearing up for more laughter in future Tyler Perry projects.
