When Larry Johnson speaks, he is going to bring up a conspiracy theory, and now he has something to say about Kyle Busch.

The two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion still has the world in shock after he died on May 21, 2026, at the age of 41. Reports indicate he experienced symptoms including shortness of breath, overheating, and coughing up blood. He was transported to a Charlotte hospital.

Days before, he had requested medical attention during a race at Watkins Glen after battling sinus-related symptoms. His family announced his hospitalization earlier on Thursday, stating he was undergoing treatment and would be withdrawing from the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Just hours later, a joint statement was released by the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing, and NASCAR confirming his passing.

Now Larry Johnson thinks something is fishy with Kyle Busch’s death.

A post from Larry Johnson is going viral. Over the years, he has thrown out wild conspiracy theories about LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, etc. In 2024, he stated that the NFL is rigged and someone is trying to kill him.

Last year, he claimed former Bengals running back Rudi Johnson’s passing away by suicide was not a real story. Now, he’s back with what he thinks happened with Kyle Busch.

Johnson is in a car discussing alleged symbolic links in Busch’s death, framing it as a “sacrifice.” He also uses numerological ties to Kobe Bryant and Wayne Gretzky. Johnson highlighted parallels, including both men dying at 41, Kobe’s January 26 death anniversary timing, and an on-screen calculation of 3 months and 3 weeks from January 26, 2026, to Busch’s passing date.

Larry Johnson has openly shared his belief that he lives with Chronic Traumatic encephalopathy. Instead of seeking help, he frequently utilizes his platform to promote extreme, often antisemitic and misogynistic, conspiracy theories.
