Jamie Foxx shaded Diddy during a recent stop on the Emmys campaign trail for his Netflix comedy special “What Had Happened Was.” The Oscar winner took part in a Q&A at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles and turned his attention toward the music mogul, who is currently on trial and facing five counts for racketeering, sex trafficking and the transportation to engage in prostitution. If he is convicted on any or all counts, Diddy could spend the rest of his life in prison.
“Diddy is crazy, huh?” Foxx asked the audience (via video shared by Urban Hollywood). “I don’t know if he is going to jail but he is a nasty motherfucker. Am I right? Specially for us… White people, like, ‘It’s cool,’ but for Black people… that was our hero. All that goddamn baby oil, boy! Why you so nasty, Diddy?”
“For the Black people here, you know how that hurts us,” Foxx said about the trial destroying Diddy’s legacy after output like the smash song “It’s All About the Benjamins.” The actor added: “That was our whole culture. Now it’s all about the baby oil.”
It’s not the first time Foxx has addressed Diddy as of late. Amid his medial emergency in 2023, social media went wild with rumors alleging Diddy tried to have Foxx killed. The actor shut down such speculation about his emergency while on a recent THR roundtable saying: “[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. I’m sitting in the hospital bed, like, ‘These bitchass motherfuckers are trying to clone me.’”
It wasn’t until the release of “What Had Happened Was” on Netflix last December that Foxx disclosed for the first time what happened during the medical emergency. Foxx suffered a brain bleed that led to a stroke.
“April 11, I was having a bad headache, and I asked my boy for Aspirin. I realized quickly that when you’re in a medical emergency, your boys don’t know what the fuck to do,” Foxx joked, before saying that he blacked out even before taking the Aspirin and remained unconscious for weeks.
“I don’t remember 20 days,” Foxx said. He was told that his friends took him to a doctor in Atlanta who gave him a cortisone shot and sent him on his way. A doctor told Foxx’s sister, Dixon, that Foxx was “having a brain bleed that has led to a stroke,” and that if they didn’t operate on him as soon as possible he would die. “My sister knelt down outside the operating room and prayed the whole time,” Foxx said.
“What Had Happened Was” is now available to stream on Netflix.
