These musicians predicted their own death. Number one, XXXTentacion. In his documentary "Look at Me," X told his record label the age at which he'd die, and he just looked me dead in the eye and he was like, "I'm not going to make it past 21."

Also making it clear on Instagram Live that he knew that he'd die young. "If I'm going to die or ever be a sacrifice, I want to make sure that my life made at least 5 million kids happy."

01:17
Speaker A
He added whoever killed him would be a stupid person who doesn't care about their life enough to try me, but those people exist everywhere. DJ Academics then asks about his car. "Hey, how often you drive that i8?" with X then responding, "Bro, I'd be driving that and I'm scared as hell because everyone knows what I drive. People have swerved to record me. I've been scared and thought I was going to die."

Speaker A
Well, whilst driving that exact car 6 months prior to his 21st birthday, X was shot by a group of idiots who didn't care about their life, just as he almost predicted perfectly. When the CCTV footage was then released publicly, fans realized that his song "Train Food" described exactly what had happened.

"No clue what there was next for me. Remember there was people walking, talking in the distance. I was dressed for winter weather but the summer rays were kissing me in the distance."

D. Leon, from information I received while using a Ouija board, believed that there would be an attempt to assassinate you, with Lennon stating in a 1965 interview, "We'll either go in a plane crash or we'll be popped off by some looney." Four years later, he'd released the song "Come Together," which contained one creepy line over and over and over: "Shoot me."

Speaker A
The Beatles had also made a song called "Happiness is a Warm Gun," talking about the joy that a person gets from shooting. However, there was one more even crazier prediction. A local astrologer warned John Lennon he would be shot on an island, prompting the couple to cancel a planned yachting trip around the Greek Islands on a boat.

In fact, he was not shot on a Greek island but an American one, Manhattan Island, by some looney who only pulled the trigger for his own sick enjoyment. John Lennon died on the same day as Juice WRLD, December 8th, 39 years apart, which becomes even weirder when looking at Juice WRLD's lyrics.

In the song "You Wouldn't Understand," he initially confirms that he listens to John Lennon. Then in "All Girls Are the Same," he'd instead claimed that he really felt like John Lennon, which was repeated in a different track named "New Girl." However, most notably in the song "Way Too Much," Juice calls himself a drug-abusing codeine-using modern-day John Lennon, which would be the exact substance that led to Juice's overdose.

Yeah, um, you don't feel that way, do you? Or do you honestly feel that way? Juice WRLD died only 6 days after his 21st birthday. As for the 27 Club, Jimi Hendrix knew that he'd be a part of that. In an interview, he bluntly stated, "I'm not sure I will live to be 28 years old."

Similarly, during a 1969 trip to Morocco, Hendrix visited a clairvoyant. When they flipped over a death card, Hendrix took the prediction literally.

Jimi Hendrix recorded the song in October 1965, then died 4 years 11 months later in September 1970, just one month shy of his 5-year prophecy. John Denver's prediction was a bit more accidental.

Described exactly in songs like "Runaway," "I was dying and nobody was there." Tupac had a line that was even more chilling: "I've been shot and murdered.
