Jamie Foxx didn’t hold back in his BET Awards 2025 acceptance speech Monday.

The actor broke down while telling awards show attendees about the stroke he suffered in April 2023.

The Oscar winner, 57, noted that the “In Memoriam” segment made him emotional because “that could have been [him].”

Foxx noted, “I don’t know why I went through what I went through, but I know that my second chance, I’m not going to turn it down.”

The rapper, who wiped away tears while accepting an Ultimate Icon Award, sweetly shouted out his family members.

“My beautiful daughter, Corinne, I cannot say enough about you,” Foxx gushed of the 31-year-old. “You’ve always taken a backseat to everything. But when you needed to drive it, you drove. And you made sure I was here.”

As for 16-year-old Anelise, who also cried during the speech, the “Just Mercy” star said, “My baby with the big hair. She hides under that hair because she’s got something special. You’re so beautiful, man.”

He praised the teenager for playing him the guitar when she overheard doctors say his “vitals [were] bad” and they were “going to lose him.”

Foxx joked, “And at a certain point, I’m going to stop crying, but I’m not going to stop yet.”

The Golden Globe winner’s candid speech comes six months after he described his health scare in a Netflix special.

The comedian told “Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was” viewers that he had “a brain bleed that led to a stroke” and was “literally within an inch of his life.”

He added that waking up in a wheelchair after nearly three weeks felt “like a f–king prank.”

When Foxx was hospitalized, notably, his family did not divulge details about his health scare, calling it a “medical complication.”

The Grammy winner was filming “Back in Action” with Cameron Diaz at the time — and he was all smiles at the movie’s premiere in January.

That same month, news broke that he and Alyce Huckstep had called it quits after three years together.
