“It’s still a mystery. We don’t know exactly what happened,” Foxx said. He recounted asking for an aspirin to ease the headache but losing consciousness before he could take it.

When he woke up, he found himself unable to walk and confined to a wheelchair. Following surgery, doctors warned him of a challenging recovery journey, describing it as “the worst year of his life.”

Foxx credited his family for shielding him from public scrutiny during his recovery. His daughter, Corinne, was particularly concerned about protecting his dignity and avoiding unwanted attention that could lead to ridicule.

Despite the ordeal, Foxx has made a remarkable recovery and continues to share his journey with fans.
