You are NOT the father. Sorry, we had to do it. Jamie Foxx and his nephew, rapper and podcaster Swayvo Twain, have set the record straight after rumors spread online suggesting that Twain was Foxx’s illegitimate son. The speculation began when fans noticed the striking resemblance between the two, sparking wild theories about their relationship.
As you may know, Foxx, known for being private about his personal life, took to Instagram to debunk the claims in a video with Twain. With a mixture of humor and exasperation, he said, “This is my nephew, not my son,” making it clear that the two are family, not father and son.
Get this: the Oscar-winning actor expressed his disbelief over how quickly rumors can spiral, particularly in today’s social media-driven world. “It’s crazy how people just create their own reality,” Foxx quipped, alluding to the situation’s absurdity.
The nephew, Swayvo Twain, also chimed in, laughing off the rumors. He emphasized their familial bond, firmly stating, “I’m his nephew, not his son,” and urged people to stop making assumptions about their relationship. Although Twain had been building his own career, the rumors diverted attention away from his work and instead focused on his likeness to his famous uncle.
ICYMI, Foxx, who recently overcame a serious health scare, is no stranger to public scrutiny but has largely avoided controversy. Nonetheless, the spread of these rumors prompted him to address the issue directly. He acknowledged how outlandish the situation was but reiterated how proud he was of Twain as part of his family.
