When it was revealed that Jamie Foxx was being hospitalized, Nick Cannon was one of the first people to offer prayers to the actor, and it’s no wonder why. The two of them have been incredibly close, with Foxx even having Nick Cannon sleep on his couch at the beginning of Cannon’s career.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Nick Cannon provided an update on his good friend Jamie Foxx.
“You see, I posted on Instagram. I literally have been saying prayers out loud. Words of affirmation for my big brother. I know he’s doing so much better because I’m actually about to do something special for him, and doing him a favor.”
Cannon extrapolated on the favor, saying, “I can’t really say what it is, but it’ll be out there soon. I was reluctant to go all the way there, and even talk about it, but he gave me the blessing, so it’s a beautiful thing. He’s awake. They say he’s alert, so, we love it.”
Hopefully, this means we’ll be getting more of an update on Jamie Foxx soon. In the meantime, the Foxx family asks for privacy.
