Former NFL running back Larry Johnson sparked a conspiracy theory after the death of NASCAR star Kyle Busch on Thursday at the age of 41. In a clip shared on social media, he spun a theory about his death.
He claimed that Busch’s passing was a “sacrifice” and also made numerological connections between Busch and Bryant’s death and how it all has an alleged connection with retired ice hockey star Wayne Gretzky.
Thanks for the submission!
“Let’s see if we can make sense of this Kyle Busch scripted ritual, this fake sacrifice, and how it’s connected to Wayne Gretzky and Kobe Bryant,” Larry Johnson said. “Recently, Wayne Gretzky was at a hockey game, doing an intermission report. And the score of this hockey game was at 4-1, the age at which Kyle Busch died.

“He was in the booth 113. Kobe Bryant was drafted first round, 13th pick overall. Wayne Gretsky’s birthday is the same exact date as Kobe Bryant’s death, January 26. From that death, to Kyle Busch’s death, or fake death, is three months and three weeks, 33. The same as the initials as Kobe Bryant-KB, Kyle Busch. What sticks out is the fact that Kyle Busch won $8.5 million in a out of court settlement when he sued a life insurance company. This is this year.

“Before his death, he was in a race talking about how he was sick or ill. Then he was in a severe illness and dies. And then he goes out saying, not once, but multiple times, you never know when it’s your last one. When it’s like this, when it’s too good to be true, then it isn’t. So, pretty much, they helped his race career, just like they helped Kobe Bryant’s career, and to get to where it is, so they can remove him out of the way. They did the same thing to Kyle Busch, … just so they can spoonfeed more medical lockdowns and for you to get your vaccine records stuck in your head and stuck in your arm.”
This is not the first time that Larry Johnson has come out with a conspiracy theory. Back in 2024, he claimed that games in the NFL are rigged and that his life was in danger for trying to expose the league.
