Academy Award winning actor, singer and comedian Jamie Foxx said in an Instagram video that he is recovering from an undisclosed medical condition.
The singer and actor, 55, was admitted to the hospital in April 2023 for an undisclosed reason. His daughter Corinne said that he “experienced a medical complication,” but did not elaborate. In his video, Foxx did not say why he had been hospitalized, but credited his sister Deidra Dixon and his daughter, as well as “a lot of great medical people” with “saving (his) life.”

“I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery has some potholes as well, but I’m coming back,” Foxx, appearing thin and wearing a dark pullover shirt, said in the three minute, 15 second video. “I’m able to work.”
“To them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I’m able to leave you this video,” he said. “I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way, and y’all know they kept it airtight, they didn’t let nothing out, they protected me, and that’s what I hope that everyone could have in moments like these.”
Foxx has been spotted in Chicago in recent weeks, where he had undergone medical treatment at a facility that specializes in rehabilitation care for patients with physical impairments, brain or spine injuries.
The “Ray” star went on to set the record straight over rumors on social media.
