Controversial NFL player OJ Simpson succumbed to prostrate cancer at the age of 76 on April 10, 2024. Simpson’s career, murder trial, and acquittal made him a household name in the USA, and fan theories speculate several theories connecting his death. UFC commentator Joe Rogan discussed the conspiracy theories in his recent podcast with Neal Brennan.

Even though the court acquitted Simpson of the charges against him for the murder of his ex-wife, the majority of the people in the UFC felt that Simpson was guilty. From the podcast, it looked like Rogan and Neal fall under that category. Nonetheless, the fan theories of Simpson’s death baffled Rogan and Brennan.

As Joe Rogan and Neal Brennan have spoken in-depth about COVID-19 vaccinations on the podcast, it did not come as a surprise to see Rogan connecting Simpson’s murder with vaccines. Interestingly, Rogan provided an alternative theory of what might have caused the death of Simpson. Brennan seemed to agree with it as well.

Nevertheless, Rogan and Brennan found it surprising that Simpson lived up to the age of 76. The age is the average lifespan of an American male. However, the age is far lower for Black men, especially for NFL players. Rather than talking about the controversial life of Simpson, the UFC commentator chose to address the conspiracy theories associated with COVID-19 vaccines and connected them to Simpson.

Has Joe Rogan made jokes about OJ Simpson and his connection to the Kardashian family?

Joe Rogan has used OJ Simpson during his comedy career on numerous occasions. Rogan was in his late 20s when Simpson allegedly murdered his ex-wife. Rogan was with his girlfriend when news came out of Simpson’s acquittal.

The comedian never thought Simpson was capable of something like that. He thought that people on TV were good and would never do bad things. Rogan is very critical of the Kardashian family for their cosmetic procedures. Once, Rogan used them in a standup comedy special.

The late Robert Kardashian was a close friend of Simpson’s and his attorney during the trial. Rogan attributed Kardashian’s death due to Esophageal cancer as Karma for helping Simpson. Rogan has also, on numerous occasions, picturized the Kardashian family as Aliens and Demons. From Rogan’s jokes, it is safe to say that he would not tone anything down regarding Simpson.
