Black Twitter Reacts to Sudden Death of O.J. Simpson and … They Ain’t Sad

I audibly said, “Wait, what?!” when I looked down at my phone to see the notification.

“O.J. Simpson dead at 76,” a headline read.

Orenthal James Simpson was arguably America’s most sensationalized human being. He was an NFL star for 11 seasons but his stardom was stained by his widely controversial trial on murder charges in connection to the death of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend, Ron Goldman.

His death comes after he was diagnosed with cancer in 2023 and was began receiving treatment with prostate cancer in February, according to reports. If there’s one group of people you can expect to not take his passing seriously... it’s Black Twitter.

No one is holding back. Users took to the timeline with banter about Simpson being dragged to hell, reposting Norm MacDonald’s 11-minute O.J. Simpson roast session and a snarky jabs that “The Juice” expired.

This banter only reminds me of the time Dave Chappelle recalled the four times he met The Juice. After the fourth time, Simpson left out the room and Chappelle said he and his team looked at each other once the door closed like, “...That n*gga did that s***”

Anyways, y’all let that man rest wherever his soul ends up.

*Sigh* I mean... we saw it coming.

Ms. Hill, you were wrong. The Kardashians are already trending over the rumors of Simpson being Khloe Kardashian’s real father...

The anticipation that white people, specifically, are will be thrilled at the devastating news:
