Jamie Foxx stoked fan concern after sudden hospitalisation. However, he eventually made a recovery from his illness, which was referred to by his team as an ‘unknown’ medical complication and still remains a mystery.

What was Jamie Foxx’s controversial post about?

The Hollywood actor recently took to Instagram and shared a text-only post. It read, “They killed this dude named Jesus...what do you think they’ll do to you???! #fakefriends #fakelove.” Several users on social media found this to be in a bad taste. While one user wrote, “Fresh out of vaccine mishap – actor Jamie Foxx wants to get Kanye’d,” another wrote, “For crying out loud. Has Jamie Foxx gone full Kanye on us?”

Rapper Kanye West had previously been accused of being anti-Semitic after making a set of controversial remarks. The rapper subsequently lost several sponsorships and was ostracised by mainstream media enterprises at large.

Jennifer Aniston gets pulled into controversy

Jennifer Aniston, who ‘liked’ the now-deleted post from Foxx, was called out by social media users. The Murder Mystery actress wrote on social media in her response, “I did not ‘like’ this post on purpose or by accident. And more importantly, I want to be clear to my friends and anyone hurt by this showing up in their fees – I do NOT support any form of antisemitism.”
