He gained acclaim for his iconic roles in films like Django Unchained and Ray, for which he received an Academy Award.

Along with being a talented actor, Jamie Foxx is also a successful singer who has collaborated with well-known musicians and released several albums. His legendary standing in the entertainment world has been cemented by his unquestionable talent and charming personality. Once he collaborated with a young Kanye West and was fascinated with his exceptional talent in music and producing excellent songs.
Jamie Foxx Was Overly Mistaken About Kanye West
Since the release of his critically acclaimed 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which brought about a dramatic transformation in rap music, Kanye West has been a dominant figure in the field of hip-hop and rap. Unfortunately, the rapper from is in the spotlight these days for a completely different reason thsn his mysic. But back in the day, he was an icon in the industry, and his music releases were widely famous, earning him enough fame and reputation to be remembered for generations to come.
During a YouTube talk show, Jamie Foxx was stunned when the young Kanye West performed a little piece for him and also wanted Foxx to perform one of his original songs. Though the Sleepless actor did perform the song, West was utterly disappointed with his version of it, this dismay in the young guy’s expression pissed Foxx too.
“My boy Breyon brings this kid in, with his jaw busted, has a backpack on. I said ‘who’s that’, he said ‘that’s Kanye’. I said ‘what is a Kanye?’, cause you know it was strange. He said, ‘well, he’s a producer, but he also raps. He’s about to be the one’, I said okay. So I go up to him I said when people come to my house they got to perform.
The motherf***er performs some sh*t that was so incredible and then he goes, ‘I got a song that I think you’ll be good on’. We go in the studio and he said the song goes, ‘She said she want some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross’, okay young fellow I got it, let me sing it for you. ‘She said she want some Maaaaaarvin’ and he was like, ‘uh don’t do that’.
He went from that smile, to the frown, you know who he be like. I’m thinking he ain’t gonna make it, this song is whack right, I go do a bad movie, for like 12 weeks. It’s number 1 in the country. That’s how the music was birthed. So it came out of something organic, it was a hit song so that opened the door for me to then, further go on and, you know do other things”
However, Foxx went on to perform the song and subsequently film a video for it too which became a hit music video, reaching number 1 in the country. This was an unbelievable scenario and a starting ground for the team and Jamie Foxx, as it allowed them to explore more in the industry.
Kanye West’s Drama With Adidas
The partnership between Kanye West and Adidas was incredible. There isn’t much to say about the Yeezy clothing brand created by the rapper, but the partnership made him one of the most popular celebrities to transition into fashion in the past decade. But regardless of how excellent his music is, Kanye West is turning out to be terrible when it comes to critical and sensitive matters. The GRAMMY winner and maybe the most well-known apparel establishment in the world ended their long-time fruitful partnership as a result of Ye’s anti-semitic comments.
Kanye West has been riding the anti-Semitism train ever since his assertion stated that Jews had more connections than Black people. Additionally, when he claimed that rapper P.Diddy, a very famous celebrity, was under the influence of Jews in an Instagram post, his account was banned.
This was one of the many reasons Adidas, and a few other collaborators of his, had to back off from their partnership causing the termination of a billion-dollar deal. Many imagine what level he would have reached if not for his mindless acts. I guess we will never know.
