Seeking Strength in Health Struggles Moss’s revelation of his health battle, though not disclosing specifics, has resonated deeply with those familiar with his journey. “I just wanted to let the viewers know that me and my wife, me and my family, we are battling something internally,” Moss shared during a recent broadcast, highlighting the gravity of his situation. The visible display of his struggle through the choice of eyewear served as a poignant reminder of the challenges he faces. “But if y’all see me with these Michigan turnover glasses that I have on, it’s not being disrespectful because I’m on television, man. I’m battling something. I need all the prayer warriors,” Moss emphasized, underscoring his need for support and positivity.
