Nick Cannon offered support to Jamie Foxx and his team during his medical issues, but his team kindly declined Cannon. In an interview earlier this year, Cannon stated that Foxx’s team controls all available information about his well-being. Cannon initially offered prayers and positivity, but they assured him they had things under control.
Cannon affirmed that Foxx would eventually share his situation with his fans. Foxx was first admitted into the care of medical professionals because he faced health issues while working on a Netflix film Back in Action with Cameron Diaz. In May, Foxx’s daughter Corrine Foxx revealed that her father had been “out of the hospital for weeks.” She was also spotted visiting him at a rehab center in Chicago later that month.
Nick Cannon Confirms Jamie Foxx Will Give Health Updates By His Own
After Jamie Foxx faced a health scare in April 2023, Nick Cannon released one of the earliest updates. He mentioned: “I can’t really say what it is, but it’ll be out there soon.”
He further added:
“I was reluctant to go all the way there, and even talk about it, but he gave me the blessing, so it’s a beautiful thing. He’s awake. They say he’s alert, so, we love it.”
About a week later, after news of Foxx’s hospitalization had broken, Cannon reported that the Django Unchained star was awake and alert. In early May, Foxx himself posted on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the support he’d received.
“Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed,” with prayer, heart and fox emojis.”
In the future, Nick Cannon wants Jamie Foxx to discuss his own health issues and the details of what happened. Speaking to Extra TV, Cannon said,
“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 noted that Foxx has always maintained a professional and private approach throughout his career. He acknowledged Foxx’s ability to manage his situation with the same grace. Cannon believes that when Foxx is ready, he’ll address his fans in his own unique way regarding his health scare.
Nick Cannon Took Over Jamie Foxx’s Role After His Bad Health Conditions
Since 2017, Foxx has served as the host and executive producer of the Fox game reality show Beat Shazam, but due to his major health conditions, he had to leave temporarily. In that case, his friend Nick Cannon took the responsibility to host the show on Foxx’s behalf. Jamie Foxx and his daughter Corinne Foxx gave Cannon their consent to take over the show’s hosting duties, which recently aired its Season 6.
“Jamie’s happy with the job that I did on Beat Shazam,'” Cannon said, revealing his role is temporary until Foxx returns.
FOX said in a recent statement:
“Everyone at FOX Entertainment wishes Jamie well as he continues his recovery, and we greatly appreciate Nick’s willingness to jump in and help this summer.”
Corinne Foxx, Jamie Foxx’s daughter, had previously clarified that her father was out of the hospital and in recovery to shut down the rumors that the family was preparing for the worst. In fact, she also wrote on her Instagram story that his father was actively playing pickleball and had exciting work news to announce.
