In February 2024, it was revealed that the former football icon, infamous for being acquitted of murder charges, had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Reports from Local 10 News indicated that he was receiving chemotherapy treatment in Las Vegas.
Responding to speculations about his health, Simpson took to Twitter to share a video, reassuring his followers that he was well and even hosting a Super Bowl party with friends.
While the public learned of his cancer diagnosis in February, rumors of Simpson’s deteriorating health had surfaced as early as late 2023, with sightings of him using a cane and descriptions of him appearing frail.
Despite his football career, Simpson gained widespread notoriety for his involvement in the murder trial of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman.
Although he was acquitted in the highly publicized criminal trial of the mid to late 90s, he later served a nine-year sentence for an unrelated armed robbery, being released in 2017 and completing parole in December 2021.
