The details of Jamie Foxx’s “medical complication” is still unknown for over a month after the actor was reportedly hospitalized.
Foxx, whose condition was first announced by his daughter Corinne Foxx, broke his silence in May but has yet to directly discuss any details of his health and recovery.
Close pal and colleague Nick Cannon recently claimed the “Collateral” star will speak to fans “when he’s ready.”
Nearly a month after the actor was reportedly hospitalized, he broke his silence on the “medical complication” via a post shared to Instagram.
“Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed,” Foxx wrote in the May 3 post. He included prayer hand emoji, a red heart and a fox emoji.
Also on May 3, FOX Entertainment announced Jamie Foxx would not host the upcoming season of “Beat Shazam.”
Nick Cannon will guest host the sixth season, according to the show’s Instagram, while Kelly Osbourne will be in the DJ booth for Corinne Foxx.
“‘Beat Shazam’ has been an unscripted mainstay on the FOX schedule for six seasons and counting,” a statement shared by the show said. “This season, not wanting fans of the game show to miss a minute of the fun, Nick Cannon has offered to fill in as a guest host for his friends, Jamie and Corinne Foxx. Kelly Osbourne will be filling in as guest DJ.
“Everyone at FOX Entertainment wishes Jamie well as he continues his recovery, and we greatly appreciated Nick’s willingness to jump in and help this summer.”
Jamie thanked Cannon for filling in on his Instagram after the news was announced.
Nick Cannon said he believes Jamie Foxx will give fans an update on his health “when he’s ready.”
“One thing I’ve always respected about how Jamie’s moved throughout his entire career, if you’ve noticed, he’s always been somebody who is extremely professional and extremely private,” Cannon told “Extra’s” Billy Bush in an interview published June 1.
“I mean, you don’t ever really hear anything other than just the great work that he puts forth as a professional and the fact that, you know, he’s handled this situation with the same manner, you only can respect that.”
“The Masked Singer” host revealed he doesn’t know much about Foxx’s condition.
“I’m probably in the same boat as you in that same sense of just knowing that, you know, as a friend, just being as respectful as I can. I don’t pry,” Cannon explained. “I don’t ask any other questions. And other than the information that’s given to me and, you know, what’s asked of me.”
