Foxx’s tweet included a picture of him sitting on top of a BetMGM-branded race car that looks like an F1 car. That’s noteworthy because later this year, Las Vegas, Nevada, is hosting its first-ever F1 Grand Prix, which will see drivers race a 3.8-mile course down the strip and alongside some of the most famous landmarks and attractions the city has to offer.
BetMGM has 13 resort hotels and 10 sportsbooks on the Vegas strip including the Bellagio, BetMGM Grand, and Mandalay Bay.
Erik Umphery, the photographer that captured Foxx on top of the car, said that it was a delight working with the “Ray” star.
As much as Foxx has been actively involved with BetMGM recently, he had to step away from all of his regular activities earlier this year to deal with health complications. It is still unknown exactly what led to Foxx’s hospitalization, but popular reports indicated that he was dealing with serious issues. He also said that he went “through hell and back” in his return to good health.
Foxx also poured cold water on rumors that he had been left permanently disabled with blindness and paralysis in a video posted to his social media. He also said that he kept his condition a secret so that his fans and the general public did not have to see unflattering images of him in the hospital.
According to his daughter, Foxx was helped by the responsiveness and attentiveness of the medical staff that helped treat him. He also thanked his daughter and the hospital staff for helping him work his way back to full health.
