Jamie Foxx Testifies at BET Awards: “I Told God If He Gave Me Another Chance, I’d Live for Him Out Loud”

At the 25th anniversary of the BET Awards in Los Angeles, Jamie Foxx was honored with the BET Ultimate Icon Award and what unfolded on stage was more than just a celebration of his career. It became a moment of powerful testimony.

After a near-death stroke in 2023, Jamie stood before the audience emotional, vulnerable, and full of praise. He didn’t just accept the award, he gave God the glory for bringing him through. Foxx shared a deeply intimate moment between him and God during his lowest point. “I told God, ‘I don’t know why I’m going through this,’” he said, voice trembling. “But if You give me another chance, I promise I’ll live right and I’ll live for You out loud.”

And that’s exactly what he did on that stage living for God out loud, unashamed and full of gratitude. “People need to see the love of God through us,” he added, calling on others to walk boldly in their faith.

The award was presented by none other than Stevie Wonder, who praised Foxx’s artistry and resilience. The night also honored Mariah Carey, Kirk Franklin, and Snoop Dogg, all celebrated as BET Ultimate Icons.

But Jamie’s speech hit different it wasn’t just about legacy or fame. It was about faith, survival, and a renewed purpose. In that moment, Jamie Foxx wasn’t just an icon. He was a living testimony.
