At the 2025 BET Awards in Los Angeles, Hollywood star Jamie Foxx had everyone in tears as he opened up about his near-fatal stroke in April 2023. Accepting the Ultimate Icon Award from Stevie Wonder, the 57-year-old actor got emotional, revealing how a brain bleed left him in a 20-day coma with just a 5% chance of survival.
“When I saw that ‘In Memoriam,’ I was like, ‘Omo, that could’ve been me,’” Foxx said, his voice cracking. He gave props to his daughters, Corinne and Anelise, and sister Deidre Dixon for pulling him through, with Anelise’s guitar playing in hospital steadying his vitals. The night, hosted by Kevin Hart, saw T-Pain, Jennifer Hudson, and Ludacris honor Foxx’s legacy. Naija fans on X are hailing his comeback, with @KingDaviduzo7 tweeting, “Only God fit do this!”
