The actor then plugged his new movie Sleepless, adding: “If you want to see me whoop some ass, you know what you can do? Go check me Friday the 13, Sleepless, go see your boy kick some ass for real.”
TMZ had reported that while Foxx was with some friends on the patio of Catch restaurant, a fellow patron had complained that the group was being too loud. One witness said the man had told Foxx’s group: "You don't want to mess with me. I'm from New York.”
