Answer
Gold Digger
Kanye West’s 2005 single featuring Jamie Foxx is “Gold Digger.”
“Gold Digger” is a song from West’s second studio album, “Late Registration,” and features singer and actor Jamie Foxx. It was released as a single in 2005, with Foxx contributing vocals that draw on Ray Charles’s “I Got a Woman.” West and Jon Brion produced the recording.
The song began as a track intended for rapper Shawnna’s album but was ultimately passed to West. Foxx’s involvement helped shape the famous refrain, while West’s verses satirize and criticize relationships involving money and perceived exploitation. The combination of a familiar soul-derived hook and a highly accessible rap arrangement made it a major crossover hit.
“Gold Digger” became West’s first U.S. No. 1 single as a lead artist and spent 10 consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. It also won Best Rap Solo Performance at the 48th Grammy Awards. The other options are West songs, but none features Jamie Foxx.
