Sunday night, Jamie Foxx hosted the iHeartRadio Music Awards, but he got off on the wrong foot when he made a joke about Bruce Jenner.

"We got some groundbreaking performances here too tonight," Foxx said. "We got Bruce Jenner, who will be doing some musical performances. He's doing a his-and-her duet all by himself.

"I'm just busting your balls while I still can," he added.

Over the last couple of months, various tabloids and gossip sites have reported about Jenner's alleged transition, but the former athlete has not uttered a word about it.

People on social media took issue with the joke and sounded off:
