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!'

Jamie Foxx 'flipped' when he read wild rumours about his health scare
Jamie Foxx "flipped" when he read wild rumours about his health scare during his hospital stay. The 57-year-old Hollywood actor fell ill in Atlanta, Georgia in 2023 while he was in town filming his Netflix movie 'Back in Action' and it was later revealed he'd suffered a stroke which left him in a coma for almost three weeks, but at the time his family kept details of his health battle secret - putting his illness down to a "medical complication" - and it led to fervent online speculation about what happened to him. Jamie has now revealed he read some of the rumours while he was in hospital and one story in particular freaked him out. Speaking at The Hollywood Reporter's Stand-Up Comedy Roundtable event, Jamie explained: "I was doing so many jokes in the hospital. That's the only way I could get through it. "I'm a comic, so even when I was heavily sedated, and they gave me OxyContin, Dilantin and morphine at the same time … it was: 'This is for your pain, and this is so you don't remember it' ... "I snuck in my phone because I didn't know what the outside world was saying and I couldn't get my mind around the fact that I had a stroke. I'm in f****** perfect shape ... "[I saw rumours like] 'Puffy tried to kill me'. No, Puffy didn't try to kill me." Jamie went on to add he saw another rumour suggesting he was "a clone" and "that made me flip." He said: "I'm sitting in the hospital bed, like, 'These ... m************ are trying to clone me'. 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'." The actor added that his psychiatrist asked if he was "all right" and Jamie asked him: "Am I all right or am I all white? I saw you trying to get the white m************ Jamie Foxx and it ain't going to happen." The psychiatrist then suggested lowering the dosage of his medication. When another participant at the round table event asked about reading the conspiracy theories, Jamie added that he was "was on another planet". Jamie previously opened up about his health scare during his Netflix special 'Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was ... ' revealing his symptoms started with a headache and he was driven to hospital by his sister where doctors told he needed surgery to save his life. Jamie said: "Your life doesn't flash before your face. It was kind of oddly peaceful ... I saw the tunnel. I didn't see the light. I was in that tunnel, though."
