When I saw the tweet I paused for a second because I needed to make sure what I was reading was real. It was indeed real. OJ Simpson had passed away from cancer. I sent text messages to ask my husband and my Dad if had they heard the same the news and neither had heard. Shortly after that, multiple media outlets started to announce what a lot of the world wanted to know. It was announced OJ Simpson had passed. I don’t remember any announcements about him battling cancer. Honestly, it wasn’t our business and I’m sure OJ Simpson, being a rather famous individual, there are some things you want to try and keep to yourself. This may have been one.

Of course, since we’re talking about a Jenner we have to acknowledge what the streets are saying about Khloe. Everyone has heard the rumors for years about her strong resemblance to OJ. Well, some users took to the platform to address this.
poor khloe...

That is an extremely bold statement, but X does allow freedom of speech and unfortunately, that pendulum can swing both ways. A lot of other reactions were truly celebrating someone’s death. I’m sure the world has mixed feelings about his guilt or his innocence, but users expressed their feelings anyway.

Some users even shared their “theories” of OJ Simpson’s passing. Some believe he may have died from something else. Although many knew he was sick, some believed that he may have been a sacrifice in some sort of way as well.
Check out a few more of the wildest tweets that we were able to see on X. People are reacting in some very insane ways for sure!
