Its been 50 years since the demise of martial arts maestro, Bruce Lee. While five decades have passed, and yet, many theories still prevail about the reasons for the Little Dragon?s tragic loss. Brandon Lee, on the other hand, passed away at a very young age in 1993 while filming for his movie. Amidst various hypotheses revolving around Lee and his son’s deaths, American rapper, Kanye West aka Ye, once made a controversial claim.

Ye was suspended from Twitter in 2022 for violating the platform’s policies. Long before that, he shared the harsh reality of voicing opinions on social media. Interestingly, while revealing various factors that affect a social media user, the singer let the names of Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee slip through. He made an impromptu revelation about their deaths, which left host Joe Rogan surprised.??

While there are many conjectures revolving around the Little Dragon?s death, his autopsy report claims that the Little Phoenix died of a Cerebral Edema, a reaction to a painkiller. However, Brandon Lee passed away in an accident that took place on the set of his movie in 1993. Lee?s son was shot by a prop gun while filming a sequence of his movie, The Crow. However, the shooting was later ruled an accident due to negligence.
