Jamie Foxx is still hospitalized more than three weeks after suffering an undisclosed medical emergency. Sources for TMZ close to the actor have reiterated, “Pray for Jamie,” when asked about his condition. Since Foxx went to the hospital, his family has kept tight-lipped about his health problems.

We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”

Not only one of the best entertainers, but a good person.”
