SPOILER ALERT! This story contains spoilers for Netflix stand-up special Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was…
As soon as Jamie Foxx taped his Netflix stand-up special What Had Happened Was…, rumors started about his relationship with imprisoned hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The internet exploded that during the Atlanta-set special, Foxx claimed that Diddy, who is in prison on numerous charges including sexual assault, racketeering and sex trafficking, poisoned him and as a result Foxx called the FBI, leading to the rapper’s arrest.
However, the special, which premieres today on the streamer, doesn’t quite go that far.
But Foxx did address Diddy.
“The internet was trying to kill me, though. The internet said Puffy tried to kill me. I know what you’re thinking, did he?, he joked, with the punchline being remarkably similar to Diddy’s other nickname. “Hell, no, I left those parties early, I was out by 9pm, because something don’t look right, it’s slippery in here.”
Later on, Foxx joked that Diddy might be the devil. “If it was Puffy, he had a flaming bottle of Johnson &…I’m just kidding,” he said.
Elsewhere, in the special, Foxx addressed his medical issues in April 2023, saying that he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.
