Jamie Foxx, the US actor and musician, has opened up on the cause of his hospital admission in April last year, revealing that he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

In a new Netflix special, Foxx, 56, said he had a bad headache one day and requested an aspirin but before he could take it, he “blacked out for 20 days”.

At the time, his daughter Corinne said he had “experienced a medical complication”.

The Oscar-winning actor said he was later admitted to the Piedmont Hospital, where doctors revealed he suffered a brain bleed that had led to a stroke.

“It is a mystery. We still do not know exactly what happened to me,” he said.

“April 11, I was having a bad headache and I asked my boy for an aspirin. And I realised quickly that when you are in a medical emergency, your boys do not know what the f**k to do.

“Before I could get the aspirin I went out. I do not remember 20 days.”

Foxx said when he woke from the coma, he found himself in a wheelchair and unable to walk.

The singer said after the operation, doctors said he might make a full recovery “but it’s going to be the worst year of his life”.

Foxx said his family kept him out of the public eye because he was “so dizzy”. He said his daughter was concerned that people would turn him into an internet meme if they saw his condition.

Shallipopi, the Nigerian singer, has officially announced his departure from Dapper Music, the record label that helped launch his career.

Shallipopi, the Nigerian singer, has officially announced his departure from Dapper Music, the record label that helped launch his career.

“This is bigger than just me. It’s about every artist and creator who pours their soul into their work, only to face betrayal and exploitation from people who should be looking out for them. It’s about standing up for fairness, integrity, and the respect that we all deserve.

“Instead of prioritizing my growth, they prioritised their own profits, putting my career and dreams at risk. Dvpper Digital Limited, as a distributor, will give advance to Dapper Music and Entertainment Limited under my name and catalogue, while Dapper Music and Entertainment Limited continues to squander the same, all without my knowledge and approval. This debt has now accrued up to a huge sum of money we are even yet to ascertain.”

Shallipopi’s departure follows a similar move by Seyi Vibez, another Nigerian artiste, who also parted ways with Dapper Music earlier this year.

The singer rose to fame in March 2023 with his debut single ‘Elon Musk’.

In October 2023, he launched Plutomania Records, his own record label, which is home to artistes like Zerry DL and Tega Boi.
