Jamie Foxx opens up on the conspiracy theory that Diddy tried to kill him
Jamie Foxx has broken his silence on the conspiracy theory alleging Sean 'Diddy' Combs orchestrated the 2023 medical emergency that had him 'within an inch of his life.' The 'Ray' actor said that while in the hospital, sedated on a cocktail of pain medications, he was able to sneak his phone and find out what the world was saying about him, he told a Hollywood Reporter roundtable Thursday. '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–king perfect shape. [I see things like,] 'Puffy tried to kill me,'' Foxx, 57, recalled. 3 Sean P. Diddy Combs and Jamie Foxx during The 11th Annual Rock the Vote Awards Show and After Party at The Palladium in Hollywood, California, in February 2004. FilmMagic 'No, Puffy didn't try to kill me.' However, what caused him to 'flip' out was when he read the conspiracy theory that he was cloned. 'When they said I was a clone, that made me flip. I'm sitting in the hospital bed, like, 'These bitch-ass motherf–kers are trying to clone me,'' the comic joked. Even while heavily medicated and still trying to figure out what caused his medical emergency, the Oscar-winning actor didn't miss a beat, using his comedic chops to lighten up the situation. '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 psychiatrist says, 'Are you all right?' And I say, 'Am I all right or am I all white? I saw you trying to get the white motherf–king Jamie Foxx and it ain't going to happen.' He just calmly goes, 'I think we're going to lower your dosage,'' Foxx quipped. 3 Foxx attends the 'Back In Action' Berlin Special Screening at Zoo Palast on Jan. 15, 2025 in Berlin, Germany. WireImage While the 'Django Unchained' star has shot down any conspiracy theory about Combs causing his medical emergency, it's not the first time he's brought it up publicly. Foxx previously addressed the rumors that the disgraced Bad Boy Records founder tried to kill him in his 2024 Netflix stand-up special, 'What Had Happened Was.' 'The internet said Puffy was trying to kill me, that's what the internet was saying. I know what you thinking, 'Diddy?'' Foxx joked on stage. 'Hell no, I left them parties early.' 3 Combs and Foxx attend the Ladylike Foundation's 9th Annual Women Of Excellence Awards Gala at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on June 3, 2017 in Beverly Hills. Getty Images The beloved comic told the audience that he always was 'out by 9' whenever Combs threw a party — sharing that 'something [didn't] look right' as the evenings would get later. Foxx quipped, 'It's slippery in here.' Combs, who was arrested in September 2024 and is currently on trial for sex trafficking and racketeering, is alleged to have had wild sex performances dubbed 'Freak-Offs' at his parties over the years. He faces life in prison if convicted. In his comedy special, Foxx said a brain bleed caused him to have a stroke, which led to his April 2023 hospitalization. He detailed the 'medical complication' that nearly killed him and caused him to lose 20 days of memory after a 'bad headache,' before waking up in a wheelchair in the hospital, where doctors told him he was 'within an inch of his life' when he first arrived. The Grammy winner credited his sister Deidra Dixon with getting him the help he needed, as well as his daughter Anelise for saving his life by keeping him calm as a 'spiritual defibrillator.'
