Jamie Foxx BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Jamie Foxx has been everywhere in the headlines this week, both for his triumphant return to Hollywood’s A-list spotlight and for slamming down the wild conspiracy theories that swirled during his 2023 health crisis. At Monday’s BET Awards, Foxx took center stage to accept the Ultimate Icon Award, fighting back tears as he thanked God, his two daughters, and his sister for carrying him through the darkest moments after suffering a brain bleed and stroke. Reporting from IMDb and the awards show itself captured the raw emotion, with Foxx’s words resonating across social media as a moment of personal gratitude and public vindication. In a powerful BET Awards speech and in recent interviews with The Hollywood Reporter, Foxx put to rest internet rumors that Sean “Diddy” Combs was behind his medical crisis. Foxx said flatly, “I’m in perfect shape. People were saying ‘Puffy tried to kill me.’ No, Puffy didn’t try to kill me,” later lightening the mood by joking about how social media even called him a clone. Both Diddy’s and Foxx’s teams have denounced these claims as baseless fabrications, and Foxx doubled down with jokes about the Diddy rumors during public appearances, notably at LA’s Comedy Store where he roasted the embattled music mogul in front of a raucous crowd as covered by Urban Hollywood 411 and AOL.

Public support continues to pour in for Foxx. There was an emotional tribute at Atlanta’s historic Ebenezer Baptist Church celebrating his miraculous recovery. On Instagram, Foxx has radiated positivity, telling fans in a New Year’s Day Reel that 2025 is all about “all love, no hate” and expressing how grateful he is for those who supported his Netflix comedy special What Had Happened Was—a project that’s been both career comeback and deeply personal catharsis. Foxx has used stand-up and social media to share his own narrative, finding humor even in hospital memories and making light of last month’s much-talked-about altercation at his birthday dinner—glass in the mouth, but he posted, “Too blessed to be stressed.”

Professionally, Foxx is riding high. His action-comedy Back in Action with Cameron Diaz is streaming on Netflix, generating buzz for marking Diaz’s return to acting. While there were on-set reports last year of friction and Foxx allegedly firing production staff after a meltdown, the finished result has been a talking point among film fans and pop culture writers alike. Foxx also continues to tease a massive 2025 live tour, with tickets selling briskly since July and dates filling up nationwide.

With a net worth estimated at 180 million and fresh ventures in production, Foxx is clearly back in business, healthier, working, and still the life of the party—online, on stage, and on screen.
