Why Khloe Kardashian Once Had Beef With Jamie Foxx

When Jamie Foxx hosted the iHeartRadio Music Awards in 2015, he rattled off jokes at the expense of just about everybody. Marvin Gaye, Robin Thicke, Pharrell and Suge Knight were a few names Foxx referenced in his opening comments, per CNN, However, Foxx’s comments about Caitlyn Jenner — who’d only just started her journey transition journey — didn’t exactly land. Foxx’s other jokes referenced ongoing legal and professional battles, but his quips about Caitlyn Jenner (who at the time still went by Bruce) felt more personal. 

“We got some groundbreaking performances here, too, tonight,” said Foxx (via TV Guide). “We got Bruce Jenner, who will be here doing some musical performances. He’s doing a his-and-her duet all by himself.” Foxx also said, “Look, I’m just busting your balls while I still can.” Following the event, Khloe Kardashian, voiced her dismay over Foxx’s controversial joke. “I just think it’s a low blow,” Kardashian shared with Insider (via ET). “I think it’s very mean. I wish him all the best. It is what it is.” She added, “I know Jamie, so I think that’s also why that’s a really low blow. But hey, guess that’s what he felt the need to do for a little press.”
