Jamie Foxx Breaks Silence on Diddy Rumors and Internet Conspiracies.
Jamie Foxx didn’t hold back during a recent appearance at The Comedy Club in Los Angeles. With the crowd reacting to every line, he took a swipe at Sean “Diddy” Combs, calling him out in a way only Jamie can.
“That Diddy stuff crazy, huh?” Foxx started, pausing for effect as the room leaned in.
“I don’t know if he’s going to jail,” he continued, “but he’s a nasty motherfucker. Am I right?” The audience laughed, but there was no mistaking the serious undertone in his words. “Especially for our community. White folks might not get it, but for Black people, that was our guy. All that baby oil, man.”
Foxx shook his head as he riffed on the shift in Diddy’s public image. “For the Black people in here, you know how that hurts us. Because Diddy was all about, ‘It’s all about the Benjamins.’ That was our whole culture. Now it’s all about baby oil?”
The jokes kept rolling, but this wasn’t just comedy. It was commentary wrapped in punchlines. And while Foxx poked fun, he also cleared the air on one of the internet’s wildest theories.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Foxx shut down rumors linking Diddy to his health scare in 2023. After suffering a stroke, speculation flew online, with claims that Diddy somehow played a role.
“I’m in perfect shape,” Foxx said firmly. “People saying Puffy tried to kill me? Come on. That didn’t happen. When they said I was a clone, that’s when I lost it. I was in my hospital bed like, ‘These clowns really think someone cloned me?’”
He even brought it up during his recent stand-up special What Had Happened Was, saying, “The internet said Puffy was trying to kill me. That’s what they were saying. I know what you’re thinking — Diddy? Nah, I left those parties early.”
Diddy, for his part, also denied any involvement. His reps labeled the rumors as “outlandish, ridiculous, and baseless.”
But despite both stars shutting the door on the conspiracy, another name has added fuel to the fire. Al B. Sure, known for his past relationship with Kim Porter and as the father of Quincy Brown — who was raised by Diddy — made a bold claim last year. He hinted that Diddy was somehow linked to his 2022 coma.
“Finally, we’re going to produce the Al B. Sure! life story,” he said, “so hold on to your britches and you’ll really understand how I ended up in a coma. You’re really gonna need to call Homeland Security.”
As it stands, the truth behind these stories remains murky. What’s clear is that the Diddy narrative isn’t going away anytime soon, and people like Jamie Foxx aren’t afraid to speak their minds — whether in interviews or right on stage.
