Rumors surrounding American rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged involvement in Jamie Foxx’s 2023 hospitalization have taken a new turn.
Foxx, 56, recently addressed the claims during his Netflix special “What Had Happened Was” tapings.
Three eyewitnesses, including videographer Choke No Joke and celebrity security guard Big Homie .CC, claim Foxx discussed the incident on stage. Choke No Joke recounted Foxx saying, “Diddy was responsible for what happened to him, and [Foxx] is the one who called the FBI on [Combs].”
Big Homie .CC asserted, “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.”
‘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,’ he further claimed.
Choke claimed Foxx and Diddy appeared to be ‘bros’ until something allegedly caused a rift between them.
In a statement to Page Six, Choke expressed his shock that Foxx had publicly made the claims, adding he and other industry insiders had previously heard the rumors. However, Dennis L.A. White, a third attendee, told Page Six he went to the second and third tapings of the show, and his recollections were slightly different.
However, Dennis L.A. White, another attendee, recalled Foxx saying, “People keep asking me if Diddy was responsible. He was not responsible. If he was, I would’ve been dead.”
Foxx shared photos and a heartfelt message on Instagram after the tapings: “God is good…. As I post these pictures, my heart and my soul is filled with nothing but pure joy…on October 3 fourth and fifth I had an opportunity to tell my side of the story.”
A source close to Diddy insisted, “There is no truth to Sean Combs putting Jamie Foxx in the hospital.”
The allegations come as Diddy awaits trial on sex trafficking charges.
It’s unclear if the alleged comments will be included in the final cut of “What Had Happened Was.” Foxx described the special as “an artistic explanation” of events that “went terribly wrong.”
Choke No Joke expressed shock that Foxx publicly made the claims, stating, “Y’all can determine was he joking or not when you see the show.”
