Social media users have been sharing claims that FaZe Rug was involved in a deadly car crash in Los Angeles after an emotional video of his brother, Brawadis, went viral. However, the claim is false.
The viral video does not show Brawadis reacting to a car crash involving FaZe Rug.
In the original video, Brawadis became emotional after meeting a Goldendoodle, the same breed as his late dog, Booker. Seeing the dog reminded him of his own pet, who died after battling cancer and he broke down in tears.
The emotional clip is about the loss of his pet and has no connection to any car accident involving FaZe Rug.
There is no credible evidence or official confirmation that FaZe Rug was involved in any car accident.

How did his dog die
Brawadis' beloved dog, Booker, died on April 30, 2026, after battling lymphoma, an aggressive form of cancer. According to Brawadis, Booker was diagnosed with the disease just three months before his death, and it spread rapidly despite medication and chemotherapy. The cancer eventually affected multiple parts of his body, leaving him struggling to breathe and eat, while his lymph nodes became severely swollen. After doctors told the family that there was no cure and that the cancer was progressing quickly, Brawadis made the difficult decision to put Booker down to end his suffering.
