Rapper Frost recently claimed late rapper Eazy-E contracted AIDS from a tainted acupuncture needle.

Eazy-E passed away from AIDS complications March 25, 1995 and many had presumed he contracted the virus as a result of his promiscuity.

E Online reported that Frost, who used to be signed to Eazy-E’s record company, floated this new theory while speaking in the upcoming documentary For the Record: The Story of Latinos in Hip Hop. He maintained the rapper got infected from an HIV-contaminated needle while undergoing acupuncture.

Frost went on to express skepticism regarding the timing of the announcement of his diagnosis and his passing further adding that he believes another individual in the rap world played a role in his death by purposely injecting him with the virus.

This is not the first time it’s been proposed that someone else was involved in Eazy-E’s death. However, there is no current evidence to support Frost’s claims.

Billboard also reported that Frost was quoted stating “How else can somebody die that fast from AIDS?” Eazy-E was diagnosed only two weeks prior to his death.

He is one of several rappers whose death has drawn a multitude of conspiracy theories

Eazy-E is considered one of the pioneers of Hip Hop and was a member of the group N.W.A. This summer's hit movie Straight Outta Compton was dedicated to his memory.
