Jamie Foxx has broken his silence on the conspiracy theory alleging that Sean “Diddy” Combs orchestrated the medical emergency that had him “within an inch of his life.”
The popular actor and singer suffered a serious medical emergency in 2023, which he later confirmed to be a stroke.
During that time, Jamie’s hospitalization resulted in lots of tons of rumors and conspiracy theories, including Diddy’s alleged involvement.
Foxx shut down the rumors that Diddy tried to have him killed during an interview for “The Hollywood Reporter”.
“I’m in f—ing perfect shape. [I saw things like,] ‘Puffy tried to kill me.’ No, Puffy didn’t try to kill me. When they said I was a clone, that made me flip,” he said. “I’m sitting in the hospital bed, like, ‘These b—h-a– motherf—ers are trying to clone me.’”
The 57-year-old actor admitted he was heavily sedated with drugs during his hospital stay.
“I was doing so many jokes in the hospital,” he added. “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.”
Foxx previously addressed the rumors of Diddy having him killed and his friendship with the Bad Boy mogul.
“The internet said Puffy was trying to kill me, that’s what the internet was saying,” he said. “I know what you thinking, ‘Diddy?’ Hell no, I left them parties early.”
Diddy, through his representatives, also denied having involvement with Foxx’s medical crisis. They called the rumors “outlandish, ridiculous, and baseless.”
