In his new Netflix special, ‘What Had Happened Was,’ Jamie Foxx not only reveals what his mystery medical emergency was that shocked the world, but he also laughs off rumors that Diddy had something to do with it and “tried to kill him,” plus he also jokingly claims that he’s done dating White women after suffering a stroke and dating Katie Holmes for six years.
As we shared earlier, Jamie Foxx, 56, opened up about the health scare he faced last year, finally revealing that he suffered a brain bleed that resulted in a stroke. He said if he hadn’t received immediate medical attention and undergone surgery, he might not be here.
On Tuesday (December 10), Jamie Foxx released his Netflix special, ‘Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was,’ and he said, “It is a mystery. We still don’t know exactly what happened to me. April 11, I was having a bad headache and I asked my boy for an aspirin. And I realized quickly that when you’re in a medical emergency, your boys don’t know what the f**k to do. Before I could get the aspirin I went out. I don’t remember 20 days.”

He went on to give a heartfelt shoutout to his sister, Deidra Dixon, his daughter, Corinne Foxx, and the staff at a Piedmont Hospital that helped him during his battle and post-surgery as he made a full recovery. He said, “[I was in for] the worst year of my life.”
Jamie Foxx also addressed the rumors that Diddy had something to do with his medical scare and “tried to kill him.” Foxx ultimately laughed it off and said, “Atlanta saved my life. The internet was trying to kill me though. The internet said that Puffy tried to kill me. That’s what the internet was saying. I know what you’re thinking, Diddy (did he)? Hell nah, n***a. ! I left them parties early. I was out by 9, n***a. Something don’t look right, n***a. It’s slippery in here, n***a. Atlanta saved my life!”

Jamie Foxx also jokingly claimed that he is now done dating White women after suffering a stroke and engaging in a six-year romance with actress Katie Holmes. While playing the piano singing and making jokes, he said, “Sisters, I’m here to tell you, I’ve been cured. I’ve been cured of everything, no more White girls. I’m serious, no more White girls. No more White girls. No more. No more White girls!”
He continued to sing that he is “back on the Black side of town,” adding, “No more potato salad and raisins. No more White girls! No more spray tan, no more big ti**ies, no a**. No more White girls I gotta let ’em know!” He then referenced Black History Month and said that since there will be “no more White women,” it will be “February all year long.”
He then jokingly clarified, “No more White girls — in public,” causing the fans to roar and applaud. Jamie Foxx not only dated Katie Holmes for six years but was most recently linked with Alyce Huckstepp. They were first linked in May 2022, seen vacationing together in September 2023, and are presumed to be still dating as they were spotted together at Foxx’s daughter’s wedding this September.
