Angelique Jackson Whenever Jamie Foxx steps up to a microphone, one can expect to be entertained. And that’s precisely what the Oscar and Grammy-winning superstar plans to do when he hits the road to discuss the circumstances around his sudden hospitalization nearly a year ago. On Sunday afternoon, Foxx offered attendees of the African American Film Critics Association’s (AAFCA) Special Achievement Awards luncheon a sneak peek at the tone of that material — a mix of heartfelt reflection with some top-notch zingers — while accepting AAFCA’s Producers Award alongside his Foxxhole Productions partner Datari Turner.

But I’ve gotta do it in my way,” Foxx said.
“I’m gonna do it in a funny way. We’re gonna be on the stage. We’re gonna get back to the standup sort of roots.” “It’ll be called, ‘What Had Happened Was,’ and it’s got all the things that happened, especially on our side of our community,” he said, joking about the online rumors that the “Jamie Foxx” sightings after his hospitalization weren’t, in fact, him.
