O.J. Simpson Reportedly Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer




O.J. Simpson is reportedly battling the big "C."



The 76-year-old Pro Football Hall of Famer was diagnosed with prostate cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy in Las Vegas, per the outlet.


It is unclear if this is related to the cancer battle he divulged in a May 2023 video posted to X.

Simpson has been spotted in Sin City in recent weeks, looking frail and appearing to limp in photos obtained by The Post in November.


The ex-Bills great, also known for his acquittal in the 1995 murder case of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman, denied rumors he’s in hospice with a video posted to X on Friday.


“Hospice? Hospice? You talking about hospice?,” he mockingly said with a laugh from the drivers seat of his car.


“No, I’m not in any hospice, I don’t know who put that out there. Whoever put that out there, it’s like the Donald [Trump] say: 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. Take care, have a good Super Bowl Weekend.”


Simpson won the Heisman Trophy as the top college player at USC in 1968 and went on to become the first running back to rush for 2,000 yards in a season with the Bills in 1973.


He went on to become a movie star and football analyst, though his accolades and accomplishment have become overshadowed by his lengthy list of legal troubles.


He was later found civilly liable for his ex-wife’s and Goldman’s deaths and was arrested in 2007 for armed robbery after he and five men were alleged to have taken memorabilia at gunpoint from dealers in a Vegas hotel.


Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison for armed robbery in 2008, and was released on parole after serving nine.




A Las Vegas resident, he spends his days playing golf and posting opinions to social media — as well as making a weekly guest spot on the “It Is What It Is” podcast with rappers Cam’Ron and Mase, where he isn’t afraid to make awkward jokes.
