Jamie Foxx Addresses 2023 Hospitalization
“I don’t remember anything,” Foxx explained to the group. “I’m in Atlanta… My sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor. They gave me a cortisone shot. The next doctor said, ‘There’s something going on up there.'”
Foxx pointed to his head before explaining that he wouldn’t go into further details “on camera.”
Foxx’s eldest daughter, Corinne, announced Jamie had “experienced a medical complication” back on April 12 of last year. She continued to reveal that the star was in the process of recovering at that time thanks to “quick action and great care.” Foxx posted a video on Instagram in July to show the world that he was back on his feet.
“I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through,” he said in the post. “I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery had some potholes as well, but I’m coming back.”
He added, “It’s been tough, man; I was sick. But now I’ve got my legs under me so you’re going to see me.”
Dr. Dre Addresses Health Scare
Grammy award-winning hip-hop producer Dr. Dre is also fortunate to be alive. He suffered a brain aneurysm in 2021 which kept him in the hospital for two weeks. Dr. Dre recently revealed that during those two weeks in the hospital, he also had three strokes.
“It’s just something that you can’t control that just happens, and during those two weeks I had three strokes,” he said.
When the legendary producer woke up in the morning on the day he was hospitalized, everything appeared to be normal. Everything, except a feeling behind his ear that developed into “the worst pain.”
“I got up and I went on about my day, and I thought that I could just lie down and take a nap. My son had a female friend that was there and was like, ‘No, we need to take you to the hospital.’ So they took me to urgent care.”
