O.J. Simpson breaks silence on speculation about suffering from cancer 

Recently, news began circulating that O.J. Simpson was diagnosed with prostate cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. Local10.com broke the news about Simpson's health condition, but there has been no confirmation regarding it from the former NFL running back's side.

Simpson recently tweeted a video on X, where he mentioned that there are reports about him being in 'hospice care', which is not the reality:

"Hey, X world, hospice? You talking about hospice? No, I am not in any hospice. I don't know who put that out there, but whoever put that out there. I guess it's like… can’t trust the media in any event."
"I'm hosting a ton of friends for the Super Bowl here in Las Vegas. All is well, so, hey guys, take care, and have a good Super Bowl weekend.”

O.J. Simpson mentioned never trusting the media, and he could be referring to the cancer news as well. While the possibility of him having prostate cancer cannot be ruled out, nothing has been confirmed at this time.

UPDATE: O.J. Simpson has died of cancer at the age of 76. Simpson passed away on April 10, 2024.
