Jamie Foxx had to back up and eat some of his words this week about comments he made about Miley Cyrus on his radio show Foxxhole.

On the Sunday night program, the conversation between Jamie and his guests turned to the incident between Miley and Radiohead at the Grammys (Radiohead snubbed MyCy, MyCy said she was going to "ruin" them).

Jamie basically said that Miley needed get over herself and to dirty up her career by "getting a gum transplant … make a sex tape … do some heroin" among other vulgar remarks.  Check out the audio here!

Well, now Jamie is taking the whole thing back and has issued an apology to the teen star.  On the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Tuesday night, Jamie addressed the issue.  "I so apologize … and this is sincere.  I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it."

He explains, "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…Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand."
