One year after his sudden hospitalisation that had his fans and family worried, American singer and actor Jamie Foxx has revealed that he had a brain bleed which eventually led to a stroke.

He revealed this on his newly released Netflix Special titled What Had Happened Was..., stating that it all started with a really bad headache. The actor narrated how one day he had “asked for an aspirin” and blacked out before he could take it.

“April 11, I was having a bad headache and I asked my boy for an aspirin. And I realized quickly that when you’re in a medical emergency, your boys don’t know what the f**k to do,” Before I could get the aspirin I went out,” he said. “I don’t remember 20 days.

Foxx shared that after being rushed to the hospital, he was initially sent home by doctors after receiving a cortisone injection. However, his sister came to visit him and noticed he didn’t seem like himself, prompting her to take him to Piedmont Hospital.He recalled the moment when the doctor informed his family that he had suffered a brain bleed, which had caused a stroke. The doctor reportedly said, “If I don’t operate on his brain right now, we’re going to lose him.” Despite the urgent procedure, the doctors were unable to pinpoint the source of the brain bleed.

In 2023, when news of his serious condition surfaced, many people speculated online about his illness. However, when Foxx was discharged from the hospital, he addressed the rumors by posting a video on social media in July, where he denied claims that he was blind or paralyzed.
