According to Insider, Ice-T, the legendary rapper, has expressed his frustration towards people who are speculating that Jamie Foxx may be a “clone or AI” after the actor posted a video update on his health. In the video, Foxx thanked his fans for their support during a recent medical complication he experienced while filming his Netflix film, “Back in Action,” in April. The Oscar-winning actor did not reveal the specifics of his health scare but expressed gratitude for the well-wishes and prayers that helped him recover.
However, after the video was shared, some individuals on social media began to speculate that it wasn’t actually Foxx in the video but rather a clone or some form of artificial intelligence. They cited that he looked slightly different than before he fell ill.
Reacting to these comments, Ice-T called those making such claims “weirdos” and emphasized that it is more plausible that Foxx was genuinely sick and nearly died rather than being replaced by a clone or AI. The rapper expressed disbelief at how some people would rather entertain such outlandish theories rather than considering the possibility of someone simply being seriously ill and going through a difficult time.
Ice-T further supported his argument by pointing out that anyone can look different after going through a severe illness, using the example of someone looking different after recovering from a bad cold.
Other users on social media also came to Foxx’s defense, highlighting that being seriously ill can indeed cause changes in one’s appearance. They mentioned that extended hospital stays and reduced eating during illness can lead to weight loss and looking “rough.”
Foxx’s health update and the subsequent speculation shed light on the dangers of spreading baseless conspiracy theories and the importance of approaching such situations with empathy and understanding. It serves as a reminder that celebrities, like anyone else, can face health challenges, and instead of jumping to wild conclusions, it is essential to show support and compassion during their difficult times.
“Thank you to everybody that just prayed man, and sent me messages,” Foxx said in his video. “I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back.”
People would rather believe that Jamie is now a Clone or Ai, than the man was just seriously sick and damn near died… Cause he doesn’t look EXACTLY the same??? YOU look different after a bad cold! Smh weirdos.. https://t.co/EWklg56bnW
