Tommy Davidson drops a bombshell about the Jamie Foxx drama and his absence during the actor’s health scare

The on-screen chemistry between 60-year-old Tommy Davidson and 56-year-old Jamie Foxx on TV and in movies is unparalleled. However, fans of the veteran comedians can be shocked to learn that they should not talking to one another even after Foxx went through the traumatic experience.

In 2023, Foxx’s daughter Corrine Foxx revealed that her father had checked himself into an Atlanta hospital for treatment of unspecified “medical complications”.

He was later transferred to a physical rehabilitation facility in Chicago for treatment, and Foxx’s members of the family were reportedly concerned about his “pretty fragile” condition after his hospitalization.

In July 2024, footage appeared on the Internet during which the “Unpredictable” singer recalls the events of the day he fell unwell.

In Foxx’s account, he said he had a “severe headache” and asked considered one of his friends for Advil. The Grammy winner also admitted that he doesn’t remember anything after being gone for “20 days.”

Comedy Hype recently spoke with Davidson to advertise his upcoming shows at the Atlanta Comedy Theater from November 1-3.

In the interview, Davidson discussed his situation with his “Booty Call” co-star, whom he didn’t contact last yr either during or after the medical emergency.

“When he was going through it, I could not really get through to him. Of course I used to be afraid for him,” Davidson said.

The Washington resident continued, “But when you go to every job, it would be nice if everyone was friends like you have friends, but that’s not what happens.”

Davidson said he still loves Foxx but realizes he’s often in his “friend circle.”

When asked if he remembered the last time he saw Jamie Foxx in person, Davidson replied: “I don’t remember the last time I saw Jamie.”

Foxx and Davidson’s careers have crossed persistently since their appearance on the classic sketch comedy show “In Living Color.”

Davidson was an original forged member when the series debuted in April 1990. Foxx joined Foxx for Season 3 in September 1991. One memorable “In Living Color” sketch from the series created by Keenen Ivory Wayans featured Davidson, Foxx and a guest – starring Tupac Shakur.

The comedy duo also starred in the 1997 comedy film “Booty Call.”

Davidson wrote about working with Foxx in his 2020 book “Living in Color: What’s Funny about Me.” During filming, he described his former co-star as “competitive” and “ruthlessly nasty.” The “Juwanna Mann” actor also suggested that Foxx is Keenen Ivory Wayans’ “teacher’s pet.”

Additionally, Tommy claimed that Jamie often tried to steal the scene while filming “Booty Call,” noting a one-on-one basketball game scene between two stand-ups that was apparently intense.

“If I had hit my head on the hard concrete, that would have been the end of me,” Davidson wrote. “I was ready to give Jamie some street fighting lessons, but the crew pulled us away and held us back.”

Davidson further addressed Jamie Foxx in a 2022 interview with VladTV. The “Black Dynamite” voice actor downplayed reports of a falling out with Foxx over his book.

“We never really were,” Davidson said DJ Wlad when asked about Foxx’s alleged negative response to his comments.

He then said, “In Living Color wasn’t my family.” It was work. When you’re employed at work, you are working with people you do not know, so you do not really have the form of relationship with them that will form a family.

Despite the possible tension between Davidson and Jamie, some fans of the two are hopeful that they’ll reunite for a collaborative project in the future.

“Tommy Davidson and Jamie Foxx had the best on-screen chemistry since In Living Color and Booty Call. I also wish they would do more movies together on screen!” – wrote one person in the comments section of Comedy Hype’s YouTube.

Another person commented: “Tommy Davidson and Jamie Foxx had artistic problems? Did they have any conflict? This is life. It seems like there is still mutual respect.”

A 3rd person said: “Tommy (is) higher than me. I had co-workers who weren’t “people” but added people to their jokes or mocking behavior. When they died, I didn’t worry about them.

Someone else took the opportunity to shout out considered one of the “Booty Call” forged members, writing, “Bernie Mac stole my entire movie.”
