Randy Moss, the NFL Hall of Famer and Minnesota Vikings legend, continues to battle bile duct cancer, as his business partner provided a rare update on his condition. Moss, 47, revealed last month that he underwent a six-hour surgery and is currently unable to walk without a cane. Despite his health challenges, Moss remains in high spirits and is focused on his business ventures, including the upcoming opening of a new Crisppi’s Chicken location in Miami.
Brittany Tolliferreo, Moss’ business partner and co-owner of Crisppi’s Chicken, shared that Moss is determined to see the business succeed. ‘He was in great spirits when I talked to him,’ Tolliferreo told TMZ Sports. ‘I haven’t noticed any change in him, he’s pretty consistent with his personality. He’s a smart and strong businessman and he wants everything to be successful and continue to grow.’
Moss, who also works as an analyst for ESPN, has been receiving an outpouring of support from fans, colleagues, and fellow NFL players since his diagnosis. In December, he shared an emotional update on Instagram Live, revealing that he had undergone a Whipple procedure to remove a cancerous mass in his bile duct. ‘I’ve told y’all over the last couple of weeks about me battling something internally, and ya boy is a cancer survivor,’ Moss said. ‘I did have cancer, they found it in the bile duct, right between the pancreas and the liver.’
Moss credited Dr. John Martinie, whom he called ‘the best doctor in the United States,’ for performing the surgery. He also acknowledged the difficult road ahead, including chemotherapy and radiation treatments. ‘It’s going to be a tough road,’ Moss said, ‘but I’m nursing my way back.’
Despite his ongoing treatment, Moss has remained involved in his business ventures. Tolliferreo revealed that Moss has hinted at attending the grand opening of Crisppi’s Chicken in Miami on January 18. ‘You never know with Randy, he’s full of surprises,’ she said. ‘But he has given us his full support with this Miami location.’
Moss and Tolliferreo first partnered several years ago after Moss saw an Instagram ad for one of her dishes. Their collaboration has since grown into a successful fried chicken chain, with the Miami location marking their latest expansion. Tolliferreo praised Moss for his resilience and dedication, saying, ‘He won’t stop, and he wants everything to just be successful and continue to grow.’
As Moss continues his fight against cancer, fans and colleagues alike are rallying behind him. His former teammates, including Cris Carter and Jake Reed, have publicly shown their support, holding up Moss’ jersey in a recent tribute. Moss, known for his tenacity on the field, is now channeling that same determination into his health and business endeavors.
