Listen: Warning Foul Language >>


The Oscar-winning 'Ray' actor, 41, lashed out at Cyrus, 16, on his satellite radio show on Sunday after a listener of 'The Foxxhole' brought up the young star's aged beef with Radiohead. He called Cyrus a "little white bi**h" for being mildly upset about not getting to meet the British band at the Grammy Awards and advised her to "make a sex tape and grow up."
But that wasn't the worrst of it. After making fun of the 'Hannah Montana' star's showy gums, Foxx told his listeners Cyrus should "get like Britney Spears and do some heroin. Do like Lindsay Lohan and start seeing a lesbian and get some crack in your pipe. Catch chlamydia on a bicycle seat."
On Leno's show, Foxx owned up for going too far.
"I have a radio show. We're really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn't mean it maliciously. You know I'm a comedian. You know my heart."
