When it comes to sharing tales of Hollywood moments, Jamie Foxx is one of the best storytellers. The multi-hyphenate entertainer has been involved in all aspects of the industry, from winning Academy Awards to topping the charts to starring in his own hit television series. With such a diverse portfolio, Foxx has met people from all backgrounds and his interactions have made for hilarious accounts of his experiences.
There’s a new platform on deck as Tank and J. Valentine have launched the R&B Money Podcast courtesy of iHeartMedia and Charlamagne Tha God’s Black Effect Podcast Network. Foxx stopped by to help introduce the new series where he recalled a time when a “very prominent actress” was on drugs and mistook him for an NBA icon.

“I ain’t saying no names, but I was in a hotel room with a very prominent actress and she was doing cocaine. I wasn’t! I wasn’t! I was not doing it! I don’t do that because of my religious beliefs,” Foxx said as he, Tank, and Valentine couldn’t stop laughing. “She does the cocaine, she says ‘I’m a bad mother,’ and then she goes, ‘Wow, I didn’t think I would be in this room doing cocaine with Rick Fox.'”
“She thought I was Rick Fox the whole f*cking night, bro. She thought I was Rick Fox I was like, ‘I’m not light-skinned with good hair like this n*gga.’” He went on to explain that as his limo was pulling up to whatever event, the actress jumped in “thinking it’s somebody else’s.”
