There’s a strange and unsettling trend that’s been weaving its way through the worlds of hip-hop and basketball, and it’s got fans scratching their heads in worry. It’s all about NBA 2K, the hit basketball video game, and a series of unexpected deaths among rappers featured on its yearly soundtracks. This phenomenon has been dubbed the “NBA 2K Curse,” and it’s become a hot topic, fueling conspiracy theories all over the web.
The Mysterious Link Between NBA 2K’s Playlist and Dead Rappers Explained
NBA 2K, crafted by 2K Sports, is famous for its lifelike action, stunning visuals, and especially its soundtracks. Each installment brings a fresh mix of tunes from both rising talents and big names. But since 2020, there’s been a chilling observation: rappers on the NBA 2K soundtrack seem to pass away in the same year they’re featured.
Take Juice WRLD, for instance. His heartfelt track “Hear Me Calling” landed on NBA 2K20’s playlist. Just three months later, the music world was mourning his loss.
The pattern didn’t stop there. Zebbo, with his hit “Ball” on NBA 2K21, died five months post-release.
Then came Buddie Roe in 2022; his “Follow Me” was a highlight of NBA 2K22, and eight months later, he was gone.
Most recently, we lost Migos Takeoff, whose “Modern Day” graced NBA 2K23, only two months after the game hit the shelves.
These back-to-back tragedies have sparked the “NBA 2K Curse” theory, suggesting a bizarre link between the game’s playlist and the artists’ untimely deaths. Many are convinced that NBA 2K is predicting, which rapper will die next by using their playlist. While it’s all speculation and coincidence, the pattern has definitely raised eyebrows and concerns.
With NBA 2K24 now out, there’s an uneasy feeling about who might be next. It’s a grim thought, but it’s on the minds of many: “Will the NBA 2K24 playlist predict another rapper’s death?”
As we explore this curious case, let’s not forget that a pattern doesn’t mean there’s a cause-and-effect relationship. The “NBA 2K Curse” is just a theory born from a string of sad coincidences. However, if something happens to rapper on the NBA 2K24 playlist, it’s going to look less like coincidence than it does right now.
