Jamie Foxx Speaks Out For The First Time Since Concerning Hospitalization

Jamie Foxx's family and fans have been praying for his speedy recovery after Foxx's sudden hospitalization for a medical emergency on April 11. Concern for Jamie has been growing as he remained hospitalized for three weeks after the incident. However, people's worries can be laid to rest now as Jamie spoke out for the first time since his hospitalization. The actor kept it short and sweet but managed to assure everyone he was on the mend. "Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed," Jamie posted on Instagram, along with prayer hands, heart, and fox emojis.

TMZ reported that the actor was rushed to the ER during "Back in Action" filming in Atlanta, Georgia. A source later told the outlet, "He's communicating now, and that's good news," indicating he had previously lost the ability to speak. "It was touch and go for days with him, and he had to be revived — he is very lucky to be alive," a source told the Mirror. Of course, there has been no official announcement on what caused the incident or any confirmed details about Foxx's health issue.

In addition to his grid post, Jamie Foxx took to his Instagram Story on May 4 to thank Nick Cannon for stepping into his host role on the game show Beat Shazam. "Appreciate ya my boy," Foxx shouted out to Cannon. "See u all soon."

While Foxx's statement on Instagram still didn't shed light on the emergency, his activity on social media is reason enough to think the star is on the mend. Foxx's industry pal Kevin Hart spoke out on the "Impaulsive" podcast the same day, confirming the Oscar winner is doing better behind the scenes. "I think the dope thing is that he's getting better in his situation, and everybody's prayers, everybody's love, energy, all that stuff is seen and felt ... to my knowledge, there's a lot of progression and a world of better."

Jamie's daughter, Corinne Foxx, took to Instagram on April 12 to break the news of her father's health scare. "We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday," she wrote. "Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery." After news of Jamie Foxx's hospitalization broke, speculation swirled that he'd suffered a stroke, and conjecture increased the longer that Foxx remained in the hospital.
