In a recent interview with Extra, Nick Cannon discussed the topic of actor Jamie Foxx’s health. When he was asked to give an update, Cannon revealed that Foxx would prefer to update the public himself, “when he’s ready.” Cannon went on to claim that what the public currently knows is the only information Foxx and his family wants them to know for now.
In the interview, Cannon describes being asked to fill in for Foxx amid his hospitalization. It was revealed in May that Cannon would be filling in for Foxx as the host of the series, Beat Shazam. “I was like, ‘I’ll do anything for Jamie,’” he explained. “‘Once I get the blessing I’m there.’” Cannon then discussed having respect for how Foxx has handled the situation. “He’s always been somebody who is extremely professional and extremely private,” he explained. He added, “He’s handled this situation with the same manner, you only can respect that.” The interviewer later asks him to give a health update on Foxx. Cannon said, “As a friend, just being as respectful as I can, I don’t pry. I don’t ask any other questions.” He claims, “When he’s ready, he’s going to address the awaiting fans in the world in the way that only he can.”
“We wanted to share that my father Jamie Foxx experienced a medical complication yesterday,” Foxx’s daughter Corinne shared on social media in April. She added, “Luckily due to quick action and great care he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.” Following the news of Foxx’s hospitalization, Cannon wrote on social media, “I literally have been saying prayers out loud.” He added, “I know he’s doing so much better.”
Various rumors about Foxx’s health status have been circulating since the actor’s hospitalization. Recently A.J. Benza alleged that Foxx has been left partially blind and paralyzed following the medical complication, despite lack of evidence. He also alleged that the complications arose following Foxx receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, and many social media users are calling his allegations “irresponsible.” None of the rumors surrounding Foxx’s health have been confirmed.
Mike Tyson says that Jamie Foxx has suffered a stroke. Speaking on the Valuetainment podcast, the legendary fighter revealed what he knows about Foxx’s undisclosed medical emergency. He also provided an update on the state of his biopic which stars the 55-year-old actor.
“He’s not feeling well. They said a stroke. I have no idea what happened to him,” Tyson said on the show. “Hey, listen, we can’t anticipate our next breath. We don’t know when we are gonna die. … After we leave, this bad stuff can happen.”

Tyson continued: “I don’t know what’s going to happen now. But, you know, it’s a strong possibility. Because, you know, Jamie’s closer to my age, so in order to do him, they were going to do what they did with [the movie] Benjamin Button. They were going to make him look younger.”
Foxx’s daughter, Corinne, initially confirmed that her father had been hospitalized in Atlanta back in April. In the following weeks, rumors were rampant about Foxx’s condition as the family made no further updates. Eventually, Corinne came forward to reveal that Foxx was doing better day by day but still didn’t explain the nature of his health scare. “Sad to see how the media runs wild. My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support,” she wrote in an update on Instagram. “We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too!”
As for that “exciting work announcement,” the two announced they are currently developing a new game show called We Are Family. Foxx and his daughter previously worked together on the series, Beat Shazam. She was seen visiting him at the rehab facility in Chicago over the weekend. TMZ reports that Dave Brown was present as well.
Jamie Foxx has been receiving family and friends as visitors at the rehab facility in Chicago he’s been staying at in recent weeks. Foxx’s daughter, Corinne, and his close friend, Dave Brown, both visited the actor over the weekend, according to TMZ. Foxx transferred to the facility after initially being hospitalized in Atlanta with an undisclosed medical emergency. The new facility offers strokes, spinal injuries, and cancer treatments.
Corinne was the first one to confirm that Foxx had suffered a medical emergency back in April. After weeks passed with no updates, rumors began to circulate about his condition. She eventually wrote on social media: “Sad to see how the media runs wild. My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support. We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too!”

Foxx and his daughter worked together on the series, Beat Shazam, prior to his recent health scare. In his absence, Nick Cannon is serving as the host. Jamie and Corrine also recently announced they are currently developing a new game show called We Are Family. “We are thrilled to be developing We Are Family with Jeff Apploff and our friends at FOX Entertainment after so much success with six seasons of Beat Shazam,” said Jamie and Corinne Foxx in a statement. “We hope this show brings as much fun to audiences at home as we’ve had creating it when it premieres next year.”
Despite Foxx improving day by day, fans were in a panic, earlier this month, when the outlet, Daily Loud, falsely reported that his family was “preparing for the worst.” The outlet later apologized, explaining that they failed to properly vet the source they used.
Jamie Foxx is receiving treatment at one of the country’s top physical medicine and rehabilitation centers, which is based in Chicago. TMZ has shared images of his daughters Corinne and Anelise and Anelise’s mother, Kristin Grannis, visiting a medical center in The Windy City.
Foxx’s family members are stated to have spent time with him during the weekend. There is still no official details on what “medical complication” Foxx experienced. Sources alert TMZ that he is “recovering well.”
During one visit, Corinne’s boyfriend attended and was captured in photos.

Jamie Foxx is currently away from his role at Beat Shazam but also has a new show on the way. Variety reports Jamie and his daughter Corinne Foxx will expand their relationship with Fox by hosting a new music game show called We Are Family.
The series reveal comes ahead of Fox’s presentation with advertisers and following a positive update about Foxx’s medical condition.
Jamie and Corinne Foxx both serve as the hosts of Beat Shazam, which will have Nick Cannon filling in for the season. The show will make its season premiere on May 23. Jamie Foxx is also an executive producer on Alert: Missing Persons Unit.
The new series, We Are Family, is set for 2024. The show is described as “Showcasing non-famous relatives of celebrities performing duets with their hidden famous family member, ‘We Are Family’ will feature a studio audience entirely comprised of 100 contestants playing through multiple rounds of clues and gameplay to win up to $100,000 each by correctly guessing which celebrity the performer is related to before they are revealed. Celebrities appearing on ‘We Are Family’ will range from musicians and professional athletes to actors and beyond.”
“We are thrilled to be developing ‘We Are Family’ with Jeff Apploff and our friends at Fox Entertainment after so much success with six seasons of ‘Beat Shazam,’” said Jamie and Corinne Foxx. “We hope this show brings as much fun to audiences at home as we’ve had creating it when it premieres next year.”
Last week, Foxx delivered a health update on her father, debunking reports that the family is “preparing for the worst.”
According to Corinne, Jamie has been out of the hospital for weeks and has recently been playing pickleball.
“Update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild. My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating,” Corrine wrote on her Instagram story. “In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support. We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too!”
An official cause for Foxx’s hospitalization has not been revealed.

It’s been a trying past month for the Foxx family. After reportedly suffering a stroke on set and being “lucky to be alive,” Jamie Foxx is now out of the hospital. Already, we’re hearing new developments about his next project. He is slated to host We Are Family with daughter Corinne Foxx, debuting in 2024. Rumors have swirled about Foxx’s condition over the past few weeks, with numerous false reports that the multi-creative’s family was “preparing for the worst.”
However, Corinne Foxx took to Instagram to dispel the rumors, stating, “My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support!” Luckily, it’s looking like Jamie Foxx’s illustrious career has more chapters to write.
Jamie Foxx’s upbringing is far from the reality of many Hollywood creatives. Rather than being raised in the midst of speeding cars or flashing lights, he was born in Terrell, Texas. Foxx was born on December 13, 1967, in Terrell, Texas. However, his biological parents have played a minimal role throughout his life. Shortly after his birth, he has taken in by his mother’s adoptive parents. Foxx was raised in the Black neighborhood of Terrell, meaning that he grew up in an era where racial segregation remained prevalent.
A young Jamie Foxx would initially turn the piano as a creative outlet to his trying upbringing. By five years old, he was performing at the local church. However, he was more than solely a musician. A self-described class clown, he was the star of the weekly talent shows in elementary school. His teacher would let Jamie Foxx tell jokes to the class as a reward if the class behaved well. Growing into the star of his high school, he was the star quarterback, with aspirations to play for the Dallas Cowboys.
However, Jamie Foxx’s post-high school life would direct him into a career in the world of music. Receiving a scholarship from the United States International University in San Diego, he studied music composition. Ironically, this life decision would direct him towards comedy rather than music. Reinforcing his identity as a comedian, his close friends encouraged him to perform at open mics at local comedy clubs. By the early 1990s, Foxx’s engaging personality and unique voice propelled him to a credible place in the stand-up world.
Jamie Foxx’s Career Began In Comedy
Similar to many comedians, Foxx’s ability to entertain garnered him plenty of opportunities in the world of television. He caught his big break in 1991 when he landed a role on the hit sketch comedy show In Living Color. Acting as a regular cast member on the show until 1994, he would pivot to The Jamie Foxx Show in 1996. In addition, Foxx was setting the groundwork for a career on the film screen. His first notable performance was on Any Given Sunday, where he performed alongside Al Pacino and Cameron Diaz as troubled quarterback Willie Beaman. Holding his own against A-list actors, the performance would propel Foxx to stardom in the film world.
Foxx officially became an A-list actor portraying legendary musician Ray Charles in the biographical film Ray. He would earn an Academy Award for Best Actor. By 2004, he had officially arrived in the world of Hollywood stardom. He would continue to deliver powerful performances, such as in the intense drama Collateral with Tom Cruise or as Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. During this time, Foxx would continue to hold it down as a household name in comedy.
His Kanye West Collaborations Kickstarted His Music Career
Even with the humble Texan now an iconic name in the worlds of comedy and film, Jamie Foxx’s childhood aspirations of being a career-long musician remained. Once performing at the piano set in front of Sunday churchgoers, Foxx began to find ways to perform to the entire world. By the early 2000s, an uber-successful Foxx had begun hosting celebrity house parties in Los Angeles. He would use the gathering of creative minds as an advantage to get in front of talented musicians. He would meet the likes of Jay-Z and Kanye West. His first big break would come with “Slow Jamz” from Kanye West’s The College Dropout. Performing an impromptu chorus while Kanye West was chopping up beats in Foxx’s home recording studio, the track would catalyze a multi-nominated Grammy career.
Soon after “Slow Jamz,” Jamie Foxx began releasing his own albums. 2005’s Unpredictable would see plenty of critical acclaim, with the title track nominated for Best R&B collaboration. Foxx and West would collaborate again on “Gold Digger.” The iconic track would do even more significant numbers than “Slow Jamz.” In essence, Foxx’s existing success in comedy and film enabled him to transition into a successful music career quickly.
An A-List Actor
The now-55-year-old hosts as strong a creative résumé as there ever has been. Boasting a powerful voice and an engaging on-mic personality, the past decade has seen Foxx continue to grow as an A-list actor. Jamie Foxx’s career highlight is arguably performing as Django in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. Foxx plays a former slave who becomes the hero of the film. Acting alongside Leonardo Dicaprio and Steven Jackson, the 2012 film is likely his most iconic acting performance.
Hearing that Jamie Foxx’s recovery is going well is a relief for the entertainment world. He’s predominantly ditched music over the past decade. However, we’re bound to receive many more iconic lines and performances from Foxx as his illustrious career grows. Foxx’s multi-decade-long story from the segregated corner of Terrell, Texas, to the Hollywood spotlight is a testament to patience and determination.
Jamie Foxx is reportedly doing physical therapy in Chicago, following his recent stint in the hospital for an undisclosed medical emergency. TMZ published photos, Monday, of his daughters Corinne and Anelise, as well as Anelise’s mother, Kristin Grannis visiting the facility in the Windy City.
The family still hasn’t confirmed any specifics regarding Foxx’s health scare. However, the new facility specializes in stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury rehab, spinal cord injury rehab, and cancer rehabilitation. The update comes after Corinne Foxx recently clarified that her father is no longer in the hospital. She claims that he was playing pickleball, last week.

“Sad to see how the media runs wild. My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support,” she wrote in an update on Instagram. “We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too!”
As for that “exciting work announcement,” details on the father-daughter duo’s next venture arrived on Monday. The two are currently developing a new game show called We Are Family. “We are thrilled to be developing We Are Family with Jeff Apploff and our friends at FOX Entertainment after so much success with six seasons of Beat Shazam,” said Jamie and Corinne Foxx in a statement. “We hope this show brings as much fun to audiences at home as we’ve had creating it when it premieres next year.”
The two previously worked together on Beat Shazam, which is now being hosted by Nick Cannon as Foxx continues to recover from his health scare. Foxx’s hospitalization also came while filming a Netflix movie by Seth Gordon titled Back in Action in Atlanta with co-stars Cameron Diaz, Glenn Close, and Kyle Chandler.

Despite the conflicting reports surrounding Jamie Foxx’s health over the past few weeks, the multi-talent’s family is making it abundantly clear that he’s doing fine – and is looking forward to the future. It’s now been over a month since he suffered from a serious “medical complication” (now said to have been a stroke) in the midst of filming his upcoming Netflix project. While we haven’t seen new photos or heard from Foxx directly, his Instagram feed recently lit up with a post reassuring fans that he’s improving amid claims that family and loved ones have been preparing for the worst.
Though the Ray actor’s relatives have kept mostly quiet throughout all the drama, his daughter, Corinne, recently dispelled some of the hurtful gossip circulating. “Sad to see how the media runs wild. My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support,” she wrote on social media last week. Even though he’s apparently back on his feet, Jamie and his daughter have opted to take a break from hosting their game show, Beat Shazam together as he works toward healing.

For now, Nick Cannon will take over those duties on their behalf, and according to Deadline, the Foxx’s have even bigger plans for the future. In 2024, their next project, We Are Family is set to launch. The outlet reports that the game show will feature “non-famous relatives of celebrities performing duets with their hidden famous family member.”
“We Are Family will feature a studio audience entirely comprised of 100 contestants playing through multiple rounds of clues and gameplay to win up to $100,000 each by correctly guessing which celebrity the performer is related to before they are revealed,” a synopsis further explains.
