The song is really not about a gold digger. Because for me, we’re not saying she’s a gold digger. I don’t like a woman who has low self-esteem. How do you handle that?įoxx: I appreciate women that want to be with someone who’s doing something.

Now that you’ve had such amazing success, you’re probably getting a lot of attention from gold diggers yourself. I let them know my ideas and they would let me know if it was cool.ĪP: “Gold Digger” was one of the year’s biggest hits. I’m going to be doing spot dates in different cities to kind of get people used to the music, and probably like next fall we’ll gear it up and go get at ’em!ĪP: You said you didn’t want to do a “Jamie Foxx thing” on this record - what would that have been like?įoxx: The Jamie Foxx thing is how you get in to your own thing and you sing your own songs and you write these cushy songs and try to be safe. And plus, this is going to help for when I go out on the road, singing and stuff like that, and kind of putting it all together. After the “Slow Jamz” record, I was like, I still ain’t gonna do nothing, but then when (singing the hook to “Gold Digger”) “She take my money!” - when that hit, it was like, come on man, let’s go get this, and bring R&B back, let R&B crash into hip-hop and bring some of the music back. What made you want to go back to record music since you had so much success in the acting realm?įoxx: Consolidate the bills (laughs). Blige, Ludacris and others, whether the album hits or misses will be squarely on Foxx’s shoulders.ĪP: You had a CD out 11 years ago.

Though it features cameo appearances from West, Mary J. He’s releasing the album “Unpredictable” on Tuesday. But now Foxx is looking for success on his own.
