Jamie Foxx was only trying to bust Bruce Jenner's balls ("while he still can") but some people aren't finding it as funny as the musician/actor had hoped.
"We got some ground-breaking performances, here too, tonight," Foxx said on stage at the iHeartRadio Music Awards Sunday night in Los Angeles. "We got Bruce Jenner, who will be doing some musical performances. He's doing a his-and-her duet all by himself."
Viewers took to social media in outrage, characterizing the joke about the Olympic gold medalist transitioning into a woman as crossing the line.

Making a joke about someone's gender or sexuality is never funny. I feel like most people know that by now? Gross #JamieFoxx #BruceJenner

While not a fan, I think all the attention paid to Bruce Jenner right now is phobic. & Jamie Foxx looks like an ass #iHeartRadioAwards

Jamie Foxx isn't funny. Jamie Foxx is an idiot. Jamie Foxx's Bruce Jenner joke was of poor taste. http://t.co/awBK6wv7bK

You can't joke about anything without someone getting offended. Let's not pretend Jamie Foxx is the first to joke on Bruce Jenner. Whatever.

Jamie Foxx's joke about Bruce Jenner on the iHeartRadio Music Awards was nothing major. No slurs, wasn't even any foul language. Toughen Up!
