“Look, April 11 last year, bad headache, asked my boy for an Advil [and] I was gone for 20 days. I don’t remember anything. I’m in Atlanta, they told me — my sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor," he claimed in the clip.

“The next doctor said, ‘There’s something going on up there,'” he added, speaking to the crowd as he pointed to his head. “I won’t say it on camera… but it was.”

In March, Jamie made a rare appearance at the African American Film Critics Association Awards, where he addressed what happened to him.

"I went through something I thought I would never, ever go through," he said at the time.

"I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear an update, but to be honest with you, I didn’t want you to see me like that, man," he continued. "I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie or a television show."

Fortunately, it seems like the musician is on the mend.

"My dad is just a rock star… He has so much energy that I’m often like, ‘Oh, my God. I need another coffee because this man is all over the place,'" Corinne explained in a Monday, May 13, interview. “He’s singing, he’s dancing, he’s playing the piano.”
