Jamie Foxx Vows To Disclose Mysterious Medical Scare That Hospitalized Him For Months

Jamie Foxx has promised to disclose what exactly landed him in the hospital last year. Foxx made the declaration while accepting an award on Sunday night (March 3) at the African American Film Critics Association Awards in Los Angeles. During his speech, Foxx displayed a whole new appreciation for life.

“I’m emotional,” he said in part. “I get emotional to even music that I’m not supposed to be emotional to. I was listening to Sexyy Red like, ‘Skeeyee.’ Now look, everybody wants to know what happened, and I’m going to tell you what happened, but I’m going to do it in my way. I’m going to do it in a funny way. It’s gonna be on the stage. We’re going to go back to the stand-up roots, but I’ll tell you in my way. It will be called ‘What Had Happened Was.'”

He also vowed to address the clone conspiracy that dominated headlines following his mysterious disappearance from the limelight.

Jamie Foxx’s daughter, Corinne, announced her father had been hospitalized last April while he was filming, but it’s never been made public what happened. The 56-year-old addressed what Corinne described as “a medical complication” in an Instagram video last July.

In the clip, he credited his sister Deidra Dixon and his daughter, as well as “a lot of great medical people” with “saving (his) life.”

“I went through something that I thought I would never ever go through,” Foxx said in the video. “I know a lot of people were waiting, you know, wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me … with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.”

Foxx looks noticeably ill in the clip, sparking the clone controversy. Watch it below, while we wait on answers.
