Hollywood star Jamie Foxx is now “awake and alert” after being hospitalized last week following a medical complication.
Foxx's friend and entertainer Nick Cannon revealed he had Foxx's permission to speak on his health.
"Man, I'm praying I literally have been saying prayers out loud. Words of affirmation for my big brother. I know he's doing so much better because I'm actually about to do something special for him and doing him a favor. I can't really say what it is, but it'll be out there soon," Cannon told Entertainment Tonight.
He added: "He's awake. They say he's alert, so we love it. That's family right there,".
On April 13, the Oscar-winning actor's daughter Corinne Foxx revealed he experienced a medical complication and is recovering.
She did not share details of Foxx's condition or what led to his health emergency.
"Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time," the statement read.

Foxx has been in Atlanta, Georgia, filming an upcoming Netflix comedy movie with Cameron Diaz, “Back in Action”. Directed by “Horrible Bosses” helmer Seth Gordon, it also stars Glenn Close, “Fleabag” priest Andrew Scott and comedian Jamie Demetriou.
Diaz came “out of retirement” for the project, her first in almost a decade.
A source previously said that the medical incident did not happen on the set and Foxx was not transported by emergency vehicle to the hospital.
Last week, sources revealed that Foxx was still receiving care in a hospital in Georgia, where he had been shooting the "Back in Action." The source told People magazine that Foxx was "having tests run".
Another source told ET that the actor is healing and feeling the love from everyone.
