Jamie Foxx attended the African American Film Critics Association’s Special Achievement Awards in March and told the audience that he planned to channel his scary ordeal through his comedy. “Everybody wants to know what happened, and I’m going to tell you what happened. But I’ve gotta do it in my way,” shared Jamie (via Variety). “I’m gonna do it in a funny way. We’re gonna be on the stage. We’re gonna get back to the standup sort of roots.” He even has a name for the special: “What Had Happened Was.” Jamie also made light of the popular conspiracy that he’d been replaced with a clone. Unfortunately, he didn’t reveal the date when he’d deliver what will probably be a hilariously enlightening experience.
In the meantime, he has more than enough to fill his plate. In addition to hosting Season 7 of “Beat Shazam” with his daughter Corinne Fox, Jamie has been working hard to retain his crown as one of the hardest working entertainers. In May 2024, Jamie promoted his highly-anticipated Netflix film with Cameron Diaz, “Back In Action,” on Instagram. He’s also been flaunting his entrepreneurial spirit by promoting his BSB Whiskey brand. In an Instagram post from June, Jamie seemed to be in great spirits as he posed for a photoshoot for the drink. A week earlier, the performer proved that his blessed vocal chords were intact. He shared an Instagram video of himself singing a Father’s Day song as his youngest daughter, Anelise Bishop, strummed on the guitar.
