So what is this video about? Real Serena Williams fans sure have latched on to the angle by now, but for those who are still debating between the few iconic moments, well, it is the video from the 2004 ESPY Awards. Jamie went all out “serenading” Williams on stage after she won the “Best Female Tennis Player of the Year” award. In his innuendo-charged and hilariously sexual performance, Foxx even got Serena up on stage to join him in his performance.
Serena Williams and Jamie Foxx’s major 2004 moment revived on Twitter as fans pray for Jamie’s quick recovery
The song- “I wanna be your tennis ball”, went viral instantly, proving what a hit Jamie’s performance had been. Venus and Serena both are close friends with Foxx and needless to say, Serena was seen sitting in the audience and enjoying herself thoroughly. Throughout the performance, Jamie’s energy was unbeatable and he owned the performance! Dropping that same video almost two decades later, fans on Twitter are recalling the iconic moment.
@missdemenor on Twitter posted a clip from the performance with the quote– “I love Jamie Foxx to the moon and back. His talents are endless. Here he is serenading Serena Williams the way only he can. High blood pressure/strokes are a curse on Black people, please take care of your bodies. Wishing him a speedy and FULL recovery.”
Serena and Foxx’s fans did not delay to follow suit and the performance is now viral, once again in 2023!

Jamie’s fans are constantly praying for his quick recovery.
This is an awesome clip. But we don't know definitively what the emergency was, and yes, HBP/strokes are devastating in the Black community (I've had 2 people in my life who've suffered strokes, one with uncontrolled HBP). Life changing for all.
