BREAKING:Multi-talented actor, OJ Simpson finally dies, aged 76 after battling cancer
Multi-talented actor and sportsman, O.J. Simpson, a complicated figure in sports and entertainment, passed away at the age of 76 from prostate cancer.
Simpson passed suddenly in Las Vegas, surrounded by his loved ones, including his children and grandchildren, according to confirmation provided to TMZ by his family and lawyer.
His illness-related struggle brought an end to a turbulent existence in which he was once a highly acclaimed athlete and was now involved in ethical and legal disputes.
Orenthal James Simpson, an NFL icon and actor, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in recent years, leading to a steady decline in his health. Despite initial denials of hospice care, reports had been circulating since February about his diagnosis. Simpson himself hinted at a battle with cancer in 2023 but maintained a hopeful outlook. Unfortunately, the disease returned, leading to his demise.
Simpson’s legacy is a blend of brilliance and controversy. As a revered athlete, he achieved fame as a Heisman Trophy winner and a star running back for the Buffalo Bills. His transition to Hollywood further cemented his status as a celebrity, where he was known for his roles in movies and television, as well as being a prominent advertising figure for Hertz.
However, his life took a dark turn in the 1990s when he was accused of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman. The trial that followed was one of the most watched and debated legal battles in American history. Despite being acquitted of the murder charges, a civil court later found him liable for their deaths, a verdict that significantly altered public perception of Simpson.
Further legal troubles followed in Las Vegas, where Simpson was convicted in 2007 for his involvement in a robbery aimed at retrieving personal sports memorabilia. He served nine years before being released on parole in 2017. In his later years, Simpson lived a quieter life in Las Vegas, remaining active on social media and engaging with the public to some extent.
Simpson’s death closes a chapter on a life that was as tumultuous as it was fascinating. He leaves behind a legacy that will continue to be analyzed and discussed for its profound impact on culture, sports, and the legal system.
*Tells him to be ashamed of himself

Media personality Toke Makinwa has slammed artist 2Baba for publicly revealing that he and his wife, Annie, are getting a divorce.
Recall that in an Instagram post on Sunday, 2Baba revealed that they had been separated for some time and are now in the process of filing for divorce, putting an end to their 12-year marriage.
Responding directly to the video posted by 2Baba on Instagram, where he confessed to making the controversial divorce announcement, Toke wrote, “This is wrong on all levels, and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. Bring it on. If you think she’s alone, let me tell you here that you’ll have to fight all of us.”
Toke expressed her frustration further by posting a message on her Instagram story, targeting those remaining neutral on the issue.
She wrote, “I’m not one for too much talk, but what is wrong is wrong, and as a woman, if you sit on the fence on this one, if it misses you, it’ll touch your daughter or any female in your family.
“No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it, knowing what is happening, we would fight for her.”
Undeterred, Makinwa, in another Instagram story post on Monday, questioned 2Baba’s decision to bring the divorce to the public, emphasising that the full truth will be revealed in due time.
“Nobody is asking anybody to stay in a situation that’s not serving them any purpose anymore; by all means, leave if you must, but why bring this online this very moment?
“We know what is going on behind closed doors. The world doesn’t know anything; it’s already been hectic with opinions flying around, and when I say we will fight for her, I’m not talking about the general public.
“A handful of people know the truth, and time will tell. Timing is everything; empathy is everything. You constantly preach love; you cannot add to the narrative that’s out there when you know what is really happening behind closed doors,” she wrote.
South African influencer Kefilwe Mabote, known for her appearance on the ‘Young, Famous and African’ Netflix series, has posted a video on Instagram setting fire to designer items, many of which were from the luxury brand Versace.
Kefilwe Mabote, who had been a pioneer in luxury fashion influencing in South Africa, filmed herself burning several Versace pieces, particularly those with the ‘Medusa’ logo.
In her Instagram story, she wrote, “Burning the Medusa face was one of the most freeing and therapeutic things I’ve ever done. It was part of breaking down the idols I unknowingly built in my heart, the very things that distracted me from fully walking with Jesus.”
She emphasised that she has found God and that there are many things she once followed and didn’t understand were actually evil, adding that these revelations have now become clearer to her.
Prior to this, she kickstarted 2025 by giving away some of her luxury clothes, including some high-end designer pieces, to her loyal followers.
Kefilwe, butressing on her spiritual awakening, mentioned practices such as idolatry, horoscopes, new age beliefs, unforgiveness, soul ties, certain cultural traditions, wrong associations, and even some social media trends as “evil things” from which she has repented.
“These things kept me bound without me realising it and were tools the enemy used to keep me in bondage,” she reflected.
The popular model added that she has fully surrendered to Jesus, repented of her sins, and renounced everything that gave the devil access to her life.
“I see life differently now, and I’ve learned to live with humility,” she wrote.
