Jamie Foxx claims that he's retired from his streak of dating white women.

In his new Netflix special, What Had Happened Was, the actor-comedian joked about his interracial dating history. Foxx last dated Alyce Huckstepp but was previously in a relationship with Katie Holmes, reported to have lasted from 2013 to 2019. Foxx acted opposite Holmes' ex-husband, Tom Cruise, in 2004 crime drama Collateral, released just two years before the couple married.

"Sisters, I’m here to tell you, I’ve been cured," Foxx said on the Netflix special while playing the piano. "I’ve been cured of everything, no more white girls. I’m serious, no more white girls. No more white girls. No more. No more white girls!"

The Ray star then affirmed that he was "back on the Black side of town" before going into a gospel breakdown.

"No more potato salad and raisins," he sang. "No more white girls! No more spray tan, no more big titties, no ass. No more white girls, I gotta let 'em know!"

Foxx ended by saying, "No more white girls–in public," to a roar of laughter from the audience.

Also in his new special, Foxx revealed that his publicized health scare was a stroke that was caused by a brain bleed. Around the time of the stroke, Foxx was in a relationship with Huckstepp.

Foxx previously joked about his affinity for white women during the AAFCA Awards in March, as some claimed that he was "cloned" upon his recovery.

“But then they saw me with a white girl. ‘That’s Jamie! You know he love them white bitches!’" he said in the clip below. "Come on, man! That’s why I didn’t think I was going to get this award; am I Black enough?"
