Jamie Foxx's seven-word comment on claims P Diddy 'tried to kill him'
Jamie Foxx has finally addressed rumours that P Diddy had allegedly tried to kill him after the actor was left hospitalised in 2023 following a bleed on his brain
Jamie Foxx has finally spoken out following claims that P Diddy had allegedly tried to kill him. The legendary actor issued a seven-word comment following the speculation that emerged in 2023.
Foxx was left hospitalised for several weeks after suffering a bleed on his brain and a hemorrhagic stroke. At the time, it was speculated that he was gravely ill. Just months after being admitted to the hospital for a medical emergency, Jamie took to social media in July of the same year to tell fans he had been to "hell and back."
Following a year of speculation, Jamie announced last year the reason behind his hospitalisation after initially suffering from a bad headache, before blacking out and remaining unconscious for "weeks." At the time, social media speculation about Jamie's condition was rife, and it was speculated that disgraced musician P Diddy had been behind the incident.
Diddy is currently on trial for a number of serious charges – unrelated to the Jamie Foxx claims – including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was arrested in September and denies all allegations made against him. He is currently on trial in New York.
"I couldn't get my mind around the fact that I had a stroke, I'm in f*****g perfect shape," Jamie said. He went on to address the speculations surrounding himself and Diddy. "No, Puffy didn't try to kill me," he explained.
Speaking on The Hollywood Reporter Roundtable, Jamie also addressed the conspiracy theory that he was a "clone". He said: "When they [conspiracy theorists] said I was a clone, that made me flip. I', sitting in the hospital bed, like, 'These b***-a** mother******s 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'".
Jamie's comment made a psychiatrist ask the star: "Are you alright?" to which he responded: "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."
In October 2024, a source close to Diddy told the MailOnline that there was "no truth" behind speculation that the musician was responsible for "putting Jamie Foxx in the hospital."
This isn't the first time Jamie has spoken out about the music mogul, in his Netflix special, What Had Happened Was... He took a few swipes at Diddy. He said: "I say this sall the time, I saw the tunnel, I didn't see the light.
"'It was hot in that tunnel. I thought, s**t, have I gone to the wrong place? I looked at the end of the tunnel and I thought I saw the devil saying come on… Or was that Puffy? I'm f*****g around, but if that was Puffy he had a flaming bottle of Johnson and… no, I'm just kidding," referencing Diddy's use of Johnson and Johnson baby oil.
He also addressed Diddy's infamous Freak Offs, saying: "The internet was trying to kill me, saying Puffy was trying to kill me. Hell no, I left those parties early, something didn't look right. The internet was trying to kill me. The internet was saying that Puffy was trying to kill me. I know what you're thinking… Did he?!
"Hell, no, I left them parties early. I was out by 9, n*****, something don't look right, n*****. It looks slippery in here!"
