Jamie Foxx cried after Stevie Wonder presented him with his award, as he thanked daughters Corinne Foxx and Anelise for helping amid his 2023 stroke.

I don’t know why I went through what I went through, but I know my second chance, I’m not going to turn it down,” he said.

Jamie Foxx didn’t hold back in his BET Awards 2025 acceptance speech Monday. The actor broke down while telling awards show attendees about the stroke he suffered in April 2023. The Oscar winner, 57, noted that the “In Memoriam” segment made him emotional because “that could have been [him].”
