Jamie Foxx breaks silence whether Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was ‘responsible’ for his hospitalization during live shows. See details
Jamie Foxx recently addressed whether Sean “Diddy” Combs was “responsible” for his mysterious hospitalization last year.
Three eyewitnesses who attended tapings of Foxx’s forthcoming Netflix special, “What Had Happened Was,” said he discussed allegations that Combs caused his hospitalization, but the audience members had different recollections of what the comedian said.
Earlier this month, Choke No Joke — who is a videographer, producer and director — told Comedy Hype he attended two of Foxx’s three shows, which took place on Oct. 4, 5 and 6 at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta.
On Oct. 7, Comedy Hype uploaded a YouTube video in which Choke said, “Jamie has a special coming out on Netflix called ‘What Had Happened Was,’ and I went to the taping of it. It was three days taping. I went to the first show; I went to the last show.”
Choke claimed Foxx stated during the tapings that “Diddy was responsible for what happened to him, and [Foxx] is the one who called the FBI on [Combs].” However, it is unclear whether the alleged comments will be included in the final cut of the special
Asked whether the alleged comments were presented as a “joke,” Choke replied, “I don’t think he was joking.
“Y’all can determine was he joking or not when you see the show, ’cause to me — I’m a new comedian, right? … I know when somebody’s setting up a punchline, and I know when you’re serious,” Choke continued, noting that he didn’t want to “give away [Foxx’s] jokes.”
Page Six cannot independently confirm whether the alleged comments were made or received by others in jest.
After [Foxx] said, ‘Diddy did something to me,’ he said, ‘And I’m the one who called the feds on him,’” Choke reiterated, hypothesizing that Foxx might have done so because he was “scared.”
“He disappeared, right? He out now, soon as Puff went to jail, right? We see him at the game with [Dallas Cowboys owner] Jerry Jones, right? … We haven’t seen him. As soon as Puff went to jail, [Foxx] was at the goddamn Dallas football game, right? And now he just went and shot his special. And who’s the special strongly based around? Diddy,” Choke claimed
According to Choke, the stars appeared to be “bros” until something allegedly caused their relationship to sour.
Choke explained that he was shocked to hear Foxx allegedly make the claims out loud, as he and other industry insiders had previously heard the rumors.
He told us phones were confiscated ahead of the shows but that as soon as he got his back, he took a selfie with Foxx.
Meanwhile, celebrity security guard Big Homie .CC alleged in an on-camera interview with Cam Capone News last week, “I know [Combs] poisoned Jamie Foxx, and Jamie Foxx reported him to the FBI because of it. … Jamie Foxx reported this man to the FBI because of this.”
Big Homie claimed that his knowledge was based on hearing Foxx tell his story at two of his comedy show tapings, which Big Homie said he attended with a client.
Media Take Out echoed the sentiments in a report earlier this week, claiming that Foxx alleged during his sets that Combs had poisoned him and was “responsible” for his hospitalization.
According to the outlet, the crowd initially started laughing, prompting Foxx to allegedly look directly at an audience member and give them a serious stare.
However, a third attendee, Dennis L.A. White, said that he went to the second and third tapings of the show. He claimed he heard Foxx say something more along the lines of, “People keep asking me if Diddy was responsible. He was not responsible. If he was, I would’ve been dead.”
White added that he does not recall Foxx mentioning the federal government or law enforcement; however, he claimed Foxx spent a good amount of the sets talking about Combs — even making several jokes about “baby oil.”
After his series of performances, Foxx took to Instagram with a heartfelt message that read in part, “God is good. … I had an opportunity to tell my side of the story and there was no better place than Atlanta Georgia,” where he was hospitalized.
He added, “When people ask me is this a stand up comedy show I say no it’s an artistic explanation. Of some thing that went terribly wrong, but thanks to the great people in Atlanta especially piedmont hospital you enabled me to come back and be on stage and do what I love to do the most.”
The caption accompanied two photos, one of which showed him crying on stage with a microphone in hand.
“I went through something I thought I would never, ever go through,” the multi-hyphenate told his Instagram followers in a selfie-style video in July 2023, clarifying that he was neither “blind” nor “paralyzed.”
Still, he admitted he didn’t know whether he “was going to make it through.”
The following month, Jamie posted a message on Instagram that read, “They killed this dude name[d] Jesus … What do you think they’ll do to you???! #fakefriends #fakelove.”
At the time, many deemed the upload to be “antisemitic,” prompting Jamie to delete it and “apologize to the Jewish community and everyone who was offended by [his] post
