While hosting the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday night, Jamie Foxx donned a cowboy hat and boots midshow to perform a country song sprinkled with American Sniper references.
With guitar accompaniment, Foxx did his best imitation of a country accent, saying, “I ain’t no stranger to country music. … Country singers are just like these rappers — like your Snoopies and your Jiggers — they write about whatever they did during the day.”
He then sang the lyrics: “Woke up in the morning and I grabbed my gun, and I told my son he should grab his gun, and then I told my wife we should all just … grab our guns. Well, I just saw American Sniper and I broke my windshield wiper, and soon we’ll be comin’ ’round the bend. Well, you know my heart is burnin’ … and I’m just so proud to be an American.”
Foxx ended the country song as he belted out: “I’m an African-American sniper.”
