Tommy Davidson and Jamie Foxx may have had a decent relationship prior to Davidson’s release of his memoir in 2020. But in his memoir, Davidson details the seemingly tense relationship between he and Foxx, and since the book’s release, Davidson admits that he has not talked to Foxx.
“I haven’t actually heard from him,” Davidson, 58, shares with Page Six in an interview, referring to the lack of communication between Foxx and himself.
Davidson labeled his then-'In Living Color' co-star Foxx as “competitive” and as having a sense of humor that was “mercilessly mean.”
Davidson also pointed out that Foxx became relentless after realizing it went over well with the sketch show’s creator, Keenan Ivory Wayans.
He details the purpose including this in the memoir, saying “I threw some light on this because the book actually was about how my odyssey can help the reader.”
“So I just pointed out all the situations I was in that I was able to eventually transcend,” Davidson continued. “ It was really a road map for the reader … not only understand something but over-stand it.”
In Living Color would eventually end in 1994, but Davidson and Foxx would work together again on the film, “Booty Call”. Davidson ruminates on a basketball game in his memoir where he and Foxx almost came to blows because the game was too physical. Tensions resurfaced and Davidson writes, Foxx “ “was determined to steal every scene he could.”

Davidson shares with the publication that he is at peace with the behavior Foxx allegedly displayed, adding, “I am learning just to not have to have the world changed for me to be happy.”
He stars in the new The Proud Family revival series, which is premiering this week on Disney+.
