Hollywood star Jamie Foxx has revealed he believed he was cloned by the entertainment industry overlords while heavily sedated in a hospital bed recovering from a hemorrhagic stroke and brain bleed.
Speaking on the Big Boy’s Neighborhood podcast, the Academy Award winner said the clone rumors “made total sense” at the time and he believed the entertainment industry was trying to replace him as they have other stars in recent years.
In early 2023, Foxx suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and was hospitalized in Atlanta. Months later came the release of his Netflix satirical comedy, They Cloned Tyrone, and since Foxx was absent from the promotional tour, some were led to believe that the movie’s title hinted to him being cloned.

Although Foxx has repeatedly joked that being cloned wasn’t the case, in a new sit-down interview with Big Boy, the entertainer recalled hallucinating that there was truth to the rumors. The interview was to promote Foxx’s new Hulu stand-up special, Jamie Foxx: Take Care of Yourself.

“The clone thing was crazy,” Foxx said around the 18-minute mark of the video below. The 58-year-old added that he was “cut off” from the news while in rehab, even speculation about his health.
“When it came to me trying to figure out what really happened to me, I snuck my phone to see what people were saying. And when I read the clone thing, that made sense to me,” Foxx said. “I said, ‘Oh, I ain’t had no stroke. They trying to clone me in here.'”
“They done they done shot me up. So I’m in there high thinking like, ‘Yeah, trying to clone me.’ Then I saw me walk in. I thought I saw me walk into my room,” he continued.
Foxx went on to think that the media was trying to make a “white version of Jamie Foxx” to “sell better overseas in movies.” “I’m high as hell,” he admitted.
Visitors, including his sister, who “looked Puerto Rican” at the time and a psychiatrist, came to see Foxx. When the latter asked if the Ray star was “alright,” Foxx replied, “Am I alright or am I all white?”
“And he looks at my medicine stuff. He said, ‘I think we’re going to lower your dosage. … You’re high as fuck.'”
After recovering from the medical emergency, Foxx has frequently discussed how the experience of being hospitalized affected him, including having hallucinations that Diddy was trying to kill him.
