Ep 485 | Jamie Foxx Speaks for First Time Since Mysterious Illness, Denies Rumors, Sparks Conspiracy Theories

For the first time since being hospitalized in April, actor and entertainer Jamie Foxx released a video to address the mysterious illness that sidelined the Hollywood A-lister. In the three-minute video, Foxx said he’d been to “hell and back” and promised he’d be back in the spotlight soon. Rumors and speculation have run rampant since the 55-year-old was rushed to the hospital. Foxx didn’t address the specifics of the illness, prompting even more speculation and conspiracy theories online. Shemeka Michelle and Steve Kim join Jason to discuss Foxx’s video and whether the star owes the public more information, especially if his injuries were related to the COVID-19 vaccines, as many have hypothesized. Shemeka also adds her perspective to the buzz around Atlanta rapper Sukihana and her recent video and profanity-laced tirade outside Buckingham Palace. Former University of Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt admitted in an NCAA investigation that he provided a player’s family with $300 in a Chick-fil-A bag over guilt for George Floyd’s death. Steve Kim and “Fearless” producer (and Tennessee Vols apologist) David Reed join Jason to discuss Pruitt’s tenure in Knoxville. Plus, Jason and Steve share their thoughts on FAMU suspending its football activities after rapper Real Boston Richey filmed a music video in the Rattlers’ locker room without permission and the refreshing reaction FAMU’s head coach, Willie Simmons, had to the situation.
