Jamie Foxx recently joked that he has been "cured" of dating white women after a six-year romance with actress Katie Holmes and others after his health scare.
The comedian, during his Netflix special, opened up about the medical emergency he suffered last year, revealing that it was caused by bleeding in his brain that "led to a stroke."
Jamie Foxx also joked about embattled rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs while addressing rumors that the "Bad Boy for Life" rapper caused his hospitalization.
Jamie Foxx Says He's 'Cured' Of Dating 'White Girls'
Foxx is seemingly done with dating white women as he sang in a song declaring he has been "cured" and is "back on the black side of town."
The "Day Shift" actor made the admission in his new Netflix special "Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was," which debuted on the streaming platform on December 10.
Sitting down at a piano, Foxx sang, "Sisters, I'm here to tell you I've been cured. I've been cured of everything. No more white girls. I'm serious; no more white girls. No more white girls. No more. No more white girls."
As audience members applauded and leaped out of their seats, the Hollywood star continued, "I'm back on the Black side of town!"
"No more white girls. No more potato salad and raisins. No more white girls. No more spray tan, no more big t-tties, no a-s, no more white girls," he added, per the Daily Mail.
The Comedian's Dating History
Throughout his enduring career, Foxx has been linked to several women. In 1993, he dated Connie Kline, with whom he had a daughter, Corinne, one year later, per the Daily Mail.
Between 1996 and 2001, he was linked to Haitian actress Garcelle Beauvais before dating actress Leila Arcieri in 2005.
In 2008, the "Django Unchained" actor dated Kristin Grannis, with whom he welcomed his second daughter, Anelise.
He was then tied in a six-year relationship with Katie Holmes from 2013 to 2019. He's currently dating Alyce Huckstepp, a white woman, and their relationship has been going on for over a year now.
Jamie Foxx Reveals Cause Of His Health Scare
Elsewhere in his Netflix special, Foxx finally opened up about the "medical complication" he suffered in April 2023, which left him sidelined for months.
The comedian broke down in tears as he recounted the incident to fans, disclosing that he suffered a "brain bleed that led to a stroke" and was unconscious for 20 days.
"I was fighting for my life," he explained. "April 11, I was having a bad headache, and I asked my boy for an aspirin… before I could get the aspirin… I went out. I don't remember 20 days."
The "Project Power" actor stated that he was on the brink of death and went into a coma for several weeks. His first appointment with a doctor saw him receive a cortisone shot, but that didn't alleviate his pain, prompting his sister, Deidra Dixon, to continue seeking medical attention for him.
The Actor Found Himself In A Wheelchair
Eventually, Foxx was able to decipher the problem when a doctor at Piedmont Hospital declared that he was "having a brain bleed that's led to a stroke."
"If I don't go in his head right now, we're going to lose him," the doctor said, per Fox News.
After his surgery, Foxx said that the doctor told his sister, "You were right, your prayers are answered. We didn't find where it was coming from, but he is having a stroke. He may be able to make a full recovery, but it's going to be the worst year of his life."
Foxx continued, "I was so dizzy from the stroke… 20 days, I don't remember. On May 4, I woke up. When I woke up, I found myself in a wheelchair. I couldn't walk."
Jamie Foxx Joked About Diddy During His Show
Rumors were rife that Foxx, in his tapings, claimed embattled rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs is to blame for his hospitalization.
Although the actor addressed the claims, he didn't specifically mention that the "Bad Boy For Life" rapper poisoned him as rumored, only jokingly likening him to the devil.
"Your life doesn't flash before your face. It was kind of oddly peaceful. I saw the tunnel. I didn't see the light," Foxx said. "It was kind of hot in the tunnel… am I going to the wrong place? I looked at the end of the tunnel, and I thought I saw the devil… Or was that Puffy? I'm f-cking around, but if that was Puffy, he had a flaming bottle of Johnson and … no, I'm just kidding."
He then weighed in on the rumors, saying, "Internet said 'Puffy tried to kill me.' I know what you're thinking 'Diddy?'"
"Hell naw," Foxx claimed. "I left them parties early. I was out by 9:00 – something don't look right. It's slippery in here."
