Angelique Jackson Jamie Foxx is ready to tell all about the medical emergency that left him hospitalized and fighting for his life last year — in a special that will be taped for Netflix.

In April 2023, the Oscar and Grammy winner was sidelined by a sudden, serious medical complication and hospitalized in Atlanta.

No official cause has been disclosed, though Foxx has alluded to the severity of his condition in the months since. Most recently, Foxx revealed (via Art of Dialogue) that it started with a “bad headache,” but then he was “gone for 20 days” and woke up with no memory of what happened.

Earlier this year, while being honored by the African American Film Critics Association, Foxx revealed that he would finally tell the world what happened to him, but he planned to “do it in a funny way.” “We’re gonna get back to the stand-up sort of roots,” Foxx explained, revealing that the show would be titled “What Had Happened Was” and would delve into the details of his health scare, as well as the outpouring of well-wishes (and online rumors) that followed his hospitalization.
