Jamie Foxx addresses rumour Diddy ‘tried to kill him’ amid rapper’s sex trafficking trial

Amid the ongoing legal saga surrounding music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, actor and entertainer Jamie Foxx has addressed—and firmly denied—widespread conspiracy theories suggesting that Combs was somehow involved in a past health scare that nearly claimed his life.
In April 2023, Foxx was hospitalized due to a serious medical emergency later revealed to be a brain bleed that led to a stroke. During his recovery, social media exploded with speculation about the cause of his sudden health crisis. Among the most bizarre rumors was the accusation that Diddy had attempted to harm him—claims that Foxx has now gone on record to dismiss.
“Puffy didn’t try to kill me,” Foxx said in a recent interview, speaking directly to the online chatter. He emphasized that there was no truth to the allegations and called them completely unfounded.
Foxx also poked fun at the rumors in his Netflix comedy special, *What Had Happened Was*, where he shared details about his near-death experience. Using humor to defuse the tension, he joked about conspiracy theories that not only claimed Diddy was involved, but also suggested that he had been cloned.
Meanwhile, Diddy is currently embroiled in legal troubles of his own, facing a wave of lawsuits and a federal investigation tied to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. Though the two events are unrelated, the heightened scrutiny around Diddy has caused past rumors involving other celebrities—including Foxx—to resurface online.
By addressing the rumors head-on, Foxx has taken control of the narrative. His candidness and comedic approach have not only helped clear the air but also highlighted the absurdity of internet speculation during moments of real personal crisis.
Foxx continues to focus on his recovery and professional projects, reminding the public of the importance of truth over viral theories.
