Man Claims Jamie Foxx Is His Dad, Calls Him a ‘Deadbeat’

A man claiming to be Jamie Foxx‘s son has accused the actor of being a “deadbeat dad,” adding that they hadn’t seen in three years.

The man’s claims led to mixed reactions from fans on social media, with some believing his claims while others advised him to make a name for himself rather than hoping to live on his alleged father’s money.

On record, Jamie is a father of two daughters, Corinne Foxx, who he shares with his ex Connie Kline, and Anelise Bishop, who he shares with ex Kristin Grannis.

On Wednesday, Rain Drops Media circulated a video on X of a man claiming to be Jamie Foxx’s illegitimate son.

In the clip, the man, who wore a green jacket over a red top and matched it with a beanie hat, seemed to be in a vehicle as he spoke.

He said, “Like I was saying, I ain’t seen my dad in three years. He never supported my dream. Always too busy.”

The man claimed he had taken pictures with Jamie on the red carpet the last time he saw him three years ago.

This prompted pictures of Jamie and actor Justin Martin from “The Soloist” premiere at the Paramount Theatre in Los Angeles in 2009 to be circulated as that of Jamie and his alleged son.

However, X users added context to the image, revealing that Jamie posed with another actor from the movie, adding that there wasn’t any evidence he has a son.

Jamie’s illegitimate son in the clip said, “My daddy don’t care nothing about me. He got me out here homeless. Jamie Foxx! Does everybody know him? Yeah he got me out here real down bad.”

The man also alleged that Jamie, who suffered a health scare in April 2023, didn’t try to deny him and didn’t care about his mom.

He admonished people, saying, “I don’t understand, dude, like y’all be caught up in all these celebrities. These celebs ain’t what you think they are.”

The man claimed, “I’m living in my car man,” adding that he had been living in the vehicle for two years while trying to make ends meet.

He also said, “I’m not an actor like my dad. I’m not on TV like him. I got problems of my own and kids of my own and I don’t have no help with nothing and I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.”

The man went on to lament his circumstances and inability to ask his alleged dad for help. He also said he didn’t care if his video went viral as he was willing to speak about his revelations in interviews.

Jamie’s alleged son’s video quickly went viral, and many reacted. Some fans noted that the man and Jamie shared a resemblance.

One fan said, “You are your daddy’s son lol.”

Another person added, “D-mn he looks like him.”

Meanwhile, a third person felt the man could be telling the truth. They said, “Could be telling the truth, he kinda favors him.”

A fourth person urged Jamie to act right if the man’s claims were true. They wrote, “If this is true, Jamie needs to do right by him.”

Although few people sympathized with the man, many more blasted him for being entitled and not trying to make money for himself.

One person wrote, “I was raised with a silver spoon too.. .And now as an ADULT… I’m grinding my -ss off. Real men make moves not excuses.”

Another person criticized the man, writing, “Grown man pushing 45-50 talking about “my daddy got me homeless.”

A third critic added, “The entitlement is wild.”

A fourth X user wondered why people believed the man’s story, while a fifth person advised him, “Man. Go find your real dad and get a job.”

The “Day Shift” actor, who turned 57 recently, spoke about raising his daughters while juggling his busy schedule as a Hollywood star during a September 2017 interview with PEOPLE Magazine.

He said, “In this business, sometimes it can get crazy. We’re so proud of them. They ended up being okay.”

Jamie appeared in a December 2021 episode of “Dad Confessions” and expressed his love for fatherhood.

He said, “Watching them light up when you come into a room. Helping them work out a problem that you’ve probably gone through. Just having that little bit of dad anxiety every day, of hoping your kids are okay.”
