Two months before O.J. Simpson died at 76, he posted a video about his health on X, formerly known as Twitter, assuring his fans that all was well.

"Hey, let me take a moment to say thank you to all the people who reached out to me," Simpson said in the Feb. 11 video, which was filmed before the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas. "My health is good. I mean I'm dealing with some issues but hey I think I'm just about over it and I'll be back on that golf course hopefully in a couple of weeks."

Two days before posting the video in February, Simpson shared another video on his account where he responded to a report by WPLG claiming that he was in hospice care for prostate cancer. At the time, PEOPLE reached out to Simpson's representative for comment.

"Hey, X world! Hospice? Hos-pice?! You talkin' about hospice? No, I'm not in any hospice. I don't know who put that out there," Simpson said on X. After adding that "you can't trust the media," he continued by announcing that he was in Las Vegas and would be "hosting a ton of friends for the Super Bowl."

In May 2023, Simpson first revealed on X that he had completed treatment for an unspecified type of cancer.
