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.

O.J. Simpson is ready for Super Bowl game on Sunday

Super Bowl LVIII Opening Night

O.J. Simpson mentioned in the video that he will host a ton of friends for the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. The 76-year-old ended his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers, where he played for two seasons.

There is no guarantee that he will be cheering for the 49ers on Sunday, as they will be going up against the Kansas City Chiefs, who are the defending champions.

Simpson played 11 seasons in the NFL, most of them with the Buffalo Bills. He's a Hall of Famer who has been to the Pro Bowls six times, named to five All-Pro teams and is one of only a few running backs to have won the MVP Award.

During his illustrious career, Simpson rushed for 11,236 yards and 2,404 carries and had 203 receptions for 2,142 yards, scoring 76 touchdowns.
