Jamie Foxx BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This week Jamie Foxx’s life and career were splashed all over the headlines, beginning with a stirring, emotional moment at the 2025 BET Awards on July 26. There, Foxx broke down in tears as Stevie Wonder presented him the Ultimate Icon Award, with Foxx crediting his daughters Corinne and Anelise, as well as his sister Deidre Dixon, for helping him survive his 2023 stroke and subsequent coma. Foxx’s speech was raw and deeply personal, describing how his youngest daughter Anelise secretly brought her guitar into his hospital room and played until his vitals improved, a moment he says marked his second chance at life. Foxx publicly stated that witnessing the show's in memoriam hit him hard, admitting he might have easily been included were it not for his family’s support, and he again made reference to the mysterious illness that was previously revealed in his 2024 Netflix special, What Had Happened Was, where he recounted collapsing from a sudden headache and being unconscious for over 20 days and that those weeks are largely missing from his memory according to AOL.

Capping off his high-profile week, Jamie hosted the second annual Summer Gala in Saint-Tropez on July 24, joined by daughters Corinne and Anelise. The gala, a glamorous and star-studded affair with guests such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Rita Ora, focused on environmental and humanitarian causes. Foxx’s appearance sparked a flurry of social media buzz—photos and reels across Instagram had him tagged as the headline draw for the event, and The Chronicles Magazine called out his Hollywood sparkle on the Riviera. However, controversy followed after Foxx paraded several white women onstage at the gala, a move that quickly became meme fodder and drew snarky side-eyes online. Critics highlighted the contradiction to his own Netflix routine, where he famously sang about leaving white women alone after his illness. X users posted viral comments, with some joking that Foxx was “back on the white train,” referencing past rumored relationships with Katie Holmes and Alyce Huckstepp as covered by Sportskeeda and others.

On the business front, Foxx remains a formidable force, with wearmagazines noting his production company’s estimated value at over $60 million, a detail that cements his ongoing influence in Hollywood. Major outlets have underscored Foxx’s philanthropic presence through the gala, while he remains a frequent trending topic on social platforms, sometimes for his fashion, sometimes for his loves, and often for simply surviving—and thriving—against the odds. In a sidebar, JAMZ 96.3 reported Foxx publicly addressed the so-called Diddy Hoax in a big announcement, though details remain sketchy and could fall more into the rumor mill than fact at this hour. Ultimately, it has been a week where Jamie Foxx reminded the world of his resilience, star power, and talent for keeping everyone talking.
