A month has passed since Jamie Foxx was admitted to a hospital due to a “medical complication”. There has been little information regarding the versatile actor’s health condition since he fell sick.

Every night, prayers are said for Foxx, who is highly regarded in Hollywood not just as an entertainer but as a good individual. Foxx himself took to social media on 3 May to express gratitude for the outpouring of support, stating, “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed [prayer, heart and fox emoji].” A source close to him told TMZ on the same day that the actor “needs all the prayers and well-wishes his fans can muster”.
