Why was Lisa Lopes from TLC called ‘Left Eye’?
Lisa Lopes’ “Left Eye” stage name was linked to her unique facial features.
She adopted the name after a boyfriend pointed out that her left eye was slightly larger than her right, according to People.
Over the years, Lopes was seen embracing this name by wearing eye black below her left eye or sometimes by wearing a pair of glasses with a wrapped condom as one of the lenses, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
What was Lisa Lopes’ cause of death?
Lopes rose to fame in the 1990s alongside Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas in the R&B girl group TLC.
By the early 2000s, TLC had become one of the hottest groups in the world, which is why fans were shocked to learn of Lopes’ sudden passing.
She passed away on April 25, 2002, at the age of 30 after sustaining injuries in a car accident in Honduras.
Her spokesman, Jay Marose, said at the time that she was behind the wheel of a rented Mitsubishi when she “lost control,” according to The New York Times.

Police said that Lopes’ car had veered off the road and turned over several times, causing her to die at the scene.
”We have truly lost our sister,” Watkins said in a statement at the time. ‘We’ll always be a group.”
Thomas added: ”Lisa will never be replaced.”
