Netizens Confuse Hajie Alejandro with Late OPM Singer
HAJIE ALEJANDRO – The social media personality and makeup artist became the subject of confusion online after netizens mistakenly believed he had passed away. The misunderstanding stemmed from the recent death of OPM legend Hajji Alejandro, whose passing was confirmed by his family on Tuesday, April 22.
After the news broke, many TikTok users flooded the comment sections of Hajie’s videos with condolence messages, thinking he was the one who had died. In response, Hajie posted a TikTok video with the text: “POV: 3 week ka nang puyat tapos pag-open mo ng phone ang daming nag-condolence sayo.” In the caption, he clarified the situation and expressed sympathy for the late singer’s family, writing, “Condolence po sa family ni sir Hajii Alejandro.”
The mix-up sparked a wave of humorous and concerned reactions from netizens. Some shared how they were shocked upon hearing the news, believing it was Hajie the makeup artist who had passed away—not Hajji the singer. One user said they were on a video call with their boyfriend when they heard the news and panicked, thinking it was Hajie. Others mentioned telling family members or coworkers about the supposed death, only to realize the mix-up later.
One netizen humorously recalled telling their mother, “Patay na si Hajji Alejandro,” to which the mother replied, “Hala magaling panaman mag make up non, ano raw kinamatay?” Some even admitted to overreacting at work, nearly getting in trouble with their boss due to the misunderstanding.
This situation highlights how easily misinformation can spread online, especially when two individuals share the same name. Thankfully, Hajie Alejandro, the makeup artist, is alive and well—and he handled the confusion with grace and a touch of humor.
