He continued, 'And I promised, 'whatever reason you put this on me, I promise imma do right and imma do right in front of y'all.

‘Ultimate Icon' winner Jamie Fox on celebrating his second chance at life
Jamie Foxx struggled to hold back tears as he was honoured with the Ultimate Icon Award at the 2025 BET Awards. 'I cannot even begin to express the love that I feel from everybody out there,' the comedian and actor said as he accepted the award that acknowledges his remarkable contributions to the music industry. 'I have so much love to give, I told God, I said, 'man, just give me one more crack at this',' he continued, his eyes brimming with tears. 'I said, 'for whatever reason you put this on me, I promise I'm gonna do right'. And I'm gonna do right in front of you all because I know a lot of times when we get on, we forget about where we come from.' He went on to thank the black community for their unwavering support, expressing gratitude for how they've carried him and stood by him throughout his career. In addition, Jamie (57) thanked God for giving him a 'second chance' at life after his stroke in April 2023. He had previously shared how he experienced a severe headache before passing out. Unbeknown to him at the time, he was suffering bleeding in his brain. 'I was fighting for my life,' he recalled in his Netflix special, What Had Happened Was... 'It's a mystery, we still don't know exactly what happened to me [and] all I can tell you is that I appreciate every prayer because I needed every prayer.' READ MORE| Jamie Foxx on how a headache turned out to be a brain bleed that left him in a coma Since his recovery, Jamie has been rebuilding his life, finding strength in his family and sense of humour. 'If I could stay funny, I could stay alive,' he joked. Less than a year after his stroke, Jamie went back to work. In January 2024 he returned to the set of Back in Action, which he'd been filming with Cameron Diaz at the time of his stroke, and a month later he started plotting his comeback to stand-up comedy. 'I got some jokes and a story to tell,' he wrote on Instagram. The actor returned to co-host the seventh season of Beat Shazam with his daughter Corinne (31) in May last year, after Nick Cannon and Kelly Osbourne stepped in to host season 6 during his health scare. Last year, Jamie also had the honour of walking his daughter down the aisle at her October wedding to Joe Hooten. 'It was incredibly special, considering his health scare last year,' Corinne said. Even though his lead role in Ray in 2005 earned him a best actor Oscar, Jamie says he considers the Icon Award to be the most important accolade of his career. 'A lot of people think, like, the Oscars is the biggest thing, and we got to quit thinking like that,' he says. 'I say this all the time, thank you to black people and the black award, because this is what really counts.'
