Jamie’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, was the one who announced the news about his “medical complication” via Instagram on April 12. Corinne wrote in a statement, “From the Foxx family. We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. The family asks for privacy during this time. Much love, the Foxx family.”
Two days after Jamie was hospitalized, sources with “direct knowledge” to the situation told TMZ that Jamie “is doing a lot better.” They said that the Beat Shazam host is “communicating now”, though they added that the emergency was “serious” and that doctors aren’t yet sure exactly what went wrong. The outlet reported that Jamie will stay in hospital a few days longer, so doctors can perform tests on him and figure out what happened.
