Jamie Foxx is ready to come clean about his mysterious hospitalization in April 2023.
On Thursday, Netflix released a trailer for the actor’s comedy event “Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was…” in which Foxx finally opens up about his health scare.
The clip starts with various headlines flashing across the screen from when news broke that he had been rushed to the hospital due to a “medical emergency.”
However, the headlines turned darker, claiming that Foxx had been left “paralyzed and blind” and was already “dead.”
Multiple voices could also be heard saying, “We should be praying for the brother,” “Somebody in the clone department getting lazy,” alluding that a clone has replaced Foxx, as well as, “Jamie Foxx literally died.”
The video then cuts to an audience cheering for Foxx, 56, as he walks out on stage for his comedy special.
“I’m back!” the comedian says into a microphone, banging on his chest.
“And I’m so glad to see you all here. I’m so glad to be here. What had happened was ….” he continues before the trailer cut off.
The Netflix special — directed by Hamish Hamilton — is described as an “intimate and engaging performance” where Fox “share[s] his journey through a serious health scare, filled with humor, heart, and inspiration!”

In April 2023, Foxx’s eldest daughter, Corinne, revealed her dad had suffered a “medical complication,” but was already in “recovery.”
“We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” she said in a statement from her family shared to her social media at the time. “Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.”
The family’s message continued, “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”
Sources with “direct knowledge” further told TMZ that the rapper was taken to the hospital and his condition was “serious enough” that members of his family traveled into town.

The medical emergency happened while Foxx was filming “Back In Action” with Cameron Diaz.
