Jamie Foxx joked about the conspiracy theories that he’s been cloned while accepting the Producer Award at the African-American Film Critics Association Awards. In doing so, he referenced his history of dating white women. The rumors about him being a clone sparked, last year, when he disappeared from the public eye with an undiagnosed health complication for several months.
“I’ll be going back to my stand-up sort of roots, and I’ll tell you in my way,” he said of his illness. “It’ll be called 'What Had Happened Was,’ And it’s got all the things that have happened—especially on our side in our community. Being cloned and all kinds of sh*t. N****s will come up with anything. Motherf*cking clone, he a clone!’ Even when they saw me out. ‘That ain’t no goddamn Jamie, that’s a clone!’ I’m on a boat [waving my hand], ‘No! that’s a clone!’ I dove out of a car to save this Black woman’s purse, and I’m taking a picture, and they go, ‘That ain’t no damn Jamie, that’s a clone!’"

“But then they saw me with a white girl. ‘That’s Jamie! You know he love them white bitches!’" he said. "Come on, man! That’s why I didn’t think I was going to get this award; am I Black enough?" Outside of Foxx’s appearance, it was a star-studded night for the AAFCA Awards. Jonathan Majors, Meagan Good, Nia Long, and other celebrities were also in attendance. Check out Foxx's speech below.
