Jamie Foxx Has Addressed The Conspiracy Theory That Diddy Tried To Kill Him
The trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs continues and is expected to last eight weeks. He has pleaded not guilty in court and denies all allegations.
There has been endless speculation of the famous names that could potentially be called to testify in the Diddy trial, which the judge referred to as 'mammoth.' We've seen rapper Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, take to the stand, along with Diddy's ex Cassie Ventura, Daniel Philip, an escort hired by Diddy.
Outside the courtroom, Jamie Foxx, a former friend of Diddy's, has addressed the strange rumours that Diddy tried to kill him two years ago.
Now, Jamie Foxx has addressed rumours that Diddy tried to kill him. This came about two years ago, when the US actor was hospitalised for several weeks after suffering a haemorrhagic stroke and bleed on the brain.
During The Hollywood Reporter's Stand-Up Comedy Roundtable, Foxx revealed he 'snuck' his phone into the ward because he wanted to know 'what the outside world was saying' adding 'I couldn't get my mind around the fact that I had a stroke. I'm in f*****g perfect shape.' This is when he came across the rumours that Diddy was behind his hospitalisation.
'No, Puffy didn't try to kill me,' he stated, before referring to the strange theories that he was a clone. 'When they [conspiracy theorists] said I was a clone, that made me flip. I'm sitting in the hospital bed, like, "These b***h-a** mothers are trying to clone me."'
He continued: 'And then I saw me walk into my room, but I'm white, so I see the white me. The next morning, I said, 'I know what's up, you're trying to clone me and make me white so I'll sell better overseas.''
Foxx explained a psychiatrist responded to his joke by asking: 'Are you all right?' He replied: 'Am I all right or am I all white? I saw you trying to get the white motherf*****g Jamie Foxx and it ain't going to happen.'
Foxx then recalled how his psychiatrist 'calmly' decided to lower the dosage of his medication.
This isn't the first time Foxx has addressed the conspiracy about Diddy. In his Netflix special, What Had Happened Was..., which aired last year, he said: 'The internet was trying to kill me, saying Puffy was trying to kill me. I know what you're thinking… Did he?!'
The rapper then referred to Combs' sex parties - known as 'freak offs'- saying 'Hell, no, I left them parties early. I was out by 9, n*****, something don't look right, n*****. It looks slippery in here!'

Brit pop icon Adele thanks Netflix hit Adolescence for 'changing her relationship with her son' in heartwarming letters
Brit pop star Adele has written letters of thanks to the creators of the Netflix hit series Adolescence. The singer, 37, told director Philip Barantini, 44, that she made a point of watching the hard-hitting crime drama with her 13-year-old son, Angelo. Adele praised the series for 'changing her relationship' with Angelo, whom she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki, 51. Adolescence, starring Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham, follows the story of a 13-year-old schoolboy accused of murdering a classmate after being radicalised by misogynistic online content. Director Philip said: 'I am getting messages, inundated on Instagram, from people from all over the world who can relate to this story or have really been affected by it. That, for me, has blown my mind a little bit.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Speaking during a masterclass with the Royal Television Society in words obtained by The Sun, he added: 'I had a text message from Steven Spielberg who has watched it twice, and I got letters from Adele last week - handwritten letters from Adele. He continued: 'I mean, just like saying that she had watched it with her son, and it has changed their relationship.' The director added that the show has surpassed their expectations as he gushed about the power of Netflix which has elevated the show to such a level. The four-part series has become Netflix's second most-watched English-language TV show ever, behind only Wednesday, the Addams family spin-off. Since its March 13 debut, Adolescence has racked up 141.2 million views. The series has sparked a national conversation and even prompted Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to suggest it be shown in schools. He revealed that he watched it with his 14-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son, saying: 'As a dad, I have not found it easy viewing.' It comes after Adele made a rare public appearance with her fiancé Rich Paul, 44, at an NBA game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier this year. While Adele and Rich have chosen to keep their relationship largely out of the spotlight, they have frequently been photographed together at sporting events. Adele previously revealed to Rolling Stone that they met through a mutual friend, having both got up to dance to a Drake song at the birthday party. The couple, who have been dating since 2021, announced their engagement in August of last year when Adele flashed her engagement ring. Following a proposal from a fan, Adele admitted: 'I can't marry you, because I'm already getting married.' The romance is Adele's first relationship since she divorced her ex-husband Simon. The couple were married between 2018 and 2021 and are said to have parted on amicable terms after Adele decided to end the relationship. She told British Vogue: 'I wasn't miserable miserable, but I would have been miserable had I not put myself first. 'But, yeah, nothing bad happened or anything like that.' Following Adele's announcement that she and Rich were engaged, she revealed that she would be taking an extended break from music. She has been full of praise for the relationship and said that she would like to have more children. 'Once I am done with all my obligations and all of my shows, I want to have a baby,' she said on stage last May. 'I want a girl because I've already got a boy. I feel like she might be like the person I love the most in the world, but also probably hate the most in the world. 'That is what I feel will happen. She's going to put me in my place all the time, isn't she? With me as her mother and Rich as her father, she's going to be a bossy little queen, isn't she?' Rich, from Ohio, already has three children - Reonna, Richie, and Zane - from a prior relationship.
