Vince Carter Responds to Randy Moss’ Major Cancer Update After Son Thaddeus’ Angry Outburst

“This is disgusting”—Randy Moss’ son Thaddeus was visibly upset in his response to Larry Fitzgerald Sr.’s X post about his father. Fitzgerald Sr. wrote on the microblogging site that he heard of Randy Moss suffering from liver cancer. “You have no right to try to make private matters public for the sake of engagement… Check your f*cking sources,” Thaddeus lashed out in his response. This would spark a revelation from his Hall of Fame father and eventual messages of strength from numerous sports stars, including Vince Carter.

On his Instagram story, Carter reposted a clip from Bleacher Report featuring Moss’s emotional video and wrote,

“Many prayers to the bro”. Clearly, a touching moment of solidarity between two sports legends. And it’s hard not to feel the weight of Moss’s journey. “Your boy is a cancer survivor,” Moss said in his IG video, reflecting on an intense six-day hospital stay.

It started with a Thanksgiving procedure to address liver issues, which uncovered cancer outside his bile duct, nestled between his pancreas and liver. Imagine being blindsided by such news during the holidays—it’s a testament to Moss’s strength that he faced it head-on.

Now recovering at home, the former NFL star isn’t just focusing on his health. True to his personality, he’s staying optimistic and even threw in a bit of humor. “I can’t wait to bust some of y’all heads on Call of Duty or NBA 2K,” he joked, offering a glimpse of his fighting spirit.

 

But Moss didn’t stop at sharing his journey—he’s making a difference. He launched a new website, with proceeds from Team Moss gear supporting cancer research. For fans who’ve followed Moss’s incredible career, his resilience probably comes as no surprise. The Hall of Famer earned his nickname, The Freak, for a reason.

Whether it was snagging rookie-record touchdowns with the Vikings or setting a single-season record with the Patriots, Moss always seemed unstoppable. Now, he’s channeling that same tenacity into fighting cancer and raising awareness. And it seems he has all the support from Vince Carter.

Vince Carter is a champion of raising awareness against cancer

According to his official website, the 8-time All-Star proudly supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a leading institution dedicated to treating children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Beyond patient care, St. Jude focuses on groundbreaking research to better understand and combat pediatric cancer.

Carter’s dedication is deeply personal. “I have visited many sick children in hospitals. It never gets old and keeps me grounded. I seem to always get drawn to a particular child. Each time I visit, I am thankful that my daughter, Kai, is healthy,” he shares on his website.

Encouraging others to join the cause, VC’s site invites fans to become a St. Jude Fan for Life while offering a chance to win an autographed NBA jersey. It’s clear why Randy Moss’ win over the light threatening disease would feel personal for Vince Carter.
