The actor, 56, has been filming his upcoming Netflix special,
'What Had Happened Was', and three eyewitnesses who attended the tapings
told Page Six he discussed claims that Diddy, 54, caused his medical
emergency.
Two of them claim that Foxx said Diddy was responsible for what happened
to him, and that he 'is the one who called the FBI on [Combs]', who's
currently in prison awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
A source close to Diddy insisted that 'there is no truth to Sean Combs
putting Jamie Foxx in the hospital.'
It's unclear if the comments were intended as a joke or how others in
the audience interpreted them.
Big Homie .CC, a celebrity security guard, claimed in an interview
with Cam Capone News last week that Foxx was 'poisoned' by Diddy.
'I know [Combs] poisoned Jamie Foxx, and Jamie Foxx reported him to the
FBI because of it… Jamie Foxx reported this man to the FBI because of this,' he
claimed.
Big Homie .CC told Page Six his claims are based on hearing Foxx
describe the story at two of his comedy show tapings, which the security guard
said he attended with a client.
Videographer Choke No Joke revealed he attended two of Foxx's three
shows in Atlanta earlier this month. The shows took place on Oct. 4, 5 and
6 at the Alliance Theatre.
'Jamie has a special coming out on Netflix called "What Had
Happened Was," and I went to the taping of it. It was three days taping. I
went to the first show; I went to the last show,' he said in an
interview on Comedy Hype.
Choke claimed Foxx said during the tapings that 'Diddy was responsible
for what happened to him, and [Foxx] is the one who called the FBI on [Combs].'It's
not clear if the alleged comments will be included in the final cut of the
special.
When asked if the comments were made as a 'joke,' Choke said, 'I don't
think he was joking.' 'Y'all can determine was he joking or not when you
see the show, 'cause to me — I'm a new comedian, right? … I know when
somebody's setting up a punchline, and I know when you're serious.'
'After [Foxx] said, "Diddy did something to me," he said,
"And I'm the one who called the feds on him,"' Choke restated, adding
that Foxx might have done so because he was 'scared.'
'He disappeared, right? He out now, soon as Puff went to jail, right? We
see him at the game with [Dallas Cowboys owner] Jerry Jones, right?… We haven’t
seen him. As soon as Puff went to jail, [Foxx] was at the goddamn Dallas
football game, right? And now he just went and shot his special. And who’s the
special strongly based around? Diddy,' he further claimed.
Choke claimed Foxx and Diddy appeared to be 'bros' until something
allegedly caused a rift between them.
In a statement to Page Six, Choke expressed his shock that Foxx had
publicly made the claims, adding he and other industry insiders had previously
heard the rumors.
However, Dennis L.A. White, a third attendee, told Page Six he went to
the second and third tapings of the show, and his recollections were slightly
different
White shared he heard Foxx say something more in line of, 'People keep
asking me if Diddy was responsible. He was not responsible. If he was, I
would've been dead.'
He also added he did not remember Foxx talking about the FBI or law
enforcement, though he did say the actor spent a good portion of the sets
discussing Combs, and even making jokes about 'baby oil.'
Following his tapings, Foxx shared two photos from the stage, including
one of him wiping away tears, as well as a heartfelt message on Instagram.
'God is good…. As I post these pictures, my heart and my soul is filled
with nothing but pure joy…on October 3 fourth and fifth I had an opportunity to
tell my side of the story and there was no better place than Atlanta Georgia.'
'I have to thank you Atlanta you showed up and you showed out, I haven’t
been on stage in 18 years but I needed the stage and I needed an audience that
was made up of nothing but pure love and that’s what you were.'
'When people ask me is this a stand up comedy show I say no it’s an
artistic explanation. Of some thing that went terribly wrong, but thanks to the
great people in Atlanta especially piedmont hospital you enabled me to come
back and be on stage and do what I love to do the most… #nobaddays as my guy
James would say #secondchance.'
