Not much is yet known about Jamie Foxx’s health, beyond his daughter’s original social media post about suffering a “medical complication.” However, earlier this week it was revealed that Foxx is still in the hospital for this mystery ailment (per Deadline). “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed,” Foxx himself posted on Instagram on Wednesday.

Even friend Kevin Hart admitted he doesn’t know the “exact details” of the situation, as he said during an appearance on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast. While he has been “able to just check on him and stuff like that,” Hart shared that Foxx’s family is “being tight and for reasons just about where he is, because Jamie’s always been a private person to a certain degree.”

“The dope thing is that he’s getting better in his situation, and you know, everybody’s prayers, everybody’s love, energy—all that stuff is seen and felt,” the comedian continued. “So in this case, man, you just want the guy to get out of the situations and then get back home.”

Hart claimed “there’s a lot of progression and a world of better” for Foxx, adding, “So you know, my love, synergy, energy goes out to him. He’s needed, he’s necessary. I know that he knows that, and I know that he feels that because there’s been an outcry, an outpour of support in this regard. So, I can only hope that it continues.”

Meanwhile, Nick Cannon has been tapped to fill in as guest host of the game show Beat Shazam while Foxx recovers. “I literally have been saying prayers out loud. Words of affirmation for my big brother,” Cannon told Entertainment Tonight in April. At the time, Cannon alluded to a “favor” he was doing for his friend, likely referring to Beat Shazam. “I was reluctant to go all the way there, and even talk about it, but he gave me the blessing, so it’s a beautiful thing. He’s awake. They say he’s alert, so, we love it. … That’s family right there.”

    I mean, baseless speculation is that it sounds like a heart attack or stroke — which have varying degrees of recovery (if at all) depending on the severity.I hope Foxx gets well whatever it is!

    “At the time, Cannon alluded to a “favor” he was doing for his friend, likely referring to Beat Shazam.”It’s really cutting into his ‘getting more women pregnant’ time.

    Stroke, brain aneurysm, something like that. With something along with it that would make this a PR nightmare. He’s been good with keeping his personal life mainly on the DL until it benefits him to publicly have a much younger girlfriend. A completely baseless guess has my money on him being someplace and with someone when he got ill that is very difficult for his PR team to handwave away.

      That is a completely baseless guess, yes. More likely, his family wants privacy. It was obviously serious, and a stroke or aneurysm would fit that bill. With either there would be the question if was going to recover at all, and to what degree, and it’s entirely reasonable for his family to want privacy as that is determined before they make any public statements.

    I think he became Doug William’s consciousness for too long. Let it go man, you were in Ali.Joke aside, I hope he manage to recover. He’s one of a few multi talented actor.
