Feuds
A debate among tabloid fodder has been whether Foxx's notoriety been due to the success he's enjoyed in the recording industry, his personal life or his much hyped feud with socialite Fabian Basabe.
On March 15, 2007 during a private party for actress Lindsay Lohan and celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson at Manhattan nightclub The Plumm Foxx engaged in a violent confrontation with socialite Fabian Basabe. Following the incident Foxx and Basabe brought more attention to the incident exchanging jabs through the media. Foxx cited a July 2005 incident in The Hamptons in which Basabe got into a fracas with two African American doormen at Star Room in East Hampton and then repeatedly called them "negro's". Basabe barked back through a post on the Paper Mag website claiming he was not a racist and that Foxx overreacted when he ran into him. The two "scenesters" managed to keep their names in gossip circles by butting heads in July 2007 outside of the high end East Hampton shop Blue & Cream and then clashing once more in October 2007 on the red carpet of the T-Mobile Sidekick LX release party.

Personal Life
In 2006 Foxx began dating actress, model and music video vixen Lauren London The relationship became the subject of much discussion since it coincided with London's major film debut in the coming of age urban drama ATL. Both Foxx and London downplayed any relationship talk and even went to deny knowing each other at times. The two skated around the topic for some time but more spottings of the two proved the gossip bloggers correct. By summer 2006 it seemed the two had cooled off when they arrived to the Sixth Annual BET Awards separately. But by December of that year at Club PM in New York Foxx and London appeared on the red carpet together at the actress' birthday party. No further evidence proved them to still be a pair and by months later London was seen with NBA player Baron Davis. Foxx has also briefly dated MTV's Making the Band 3 contestant Yahira ("Ya Ya") and has been in an off and on relationship with model Sara Pickett for some time.
