Jamie Foxx recently addressed whether Sean “Diddy” Combs was “responsible” for his mysterious hospitalization last year.

Three eyewitnesses who attended tapings of Foxx’s forthcoming Netflix special, “What Had Happened Was,” said he discussed allegations that Combs caused his hospitalization, but the audience members had different recollections of what the comedian said.

Earlier this month, Choke No Joke — who is a videographer, producer and director — told Comedy Hype he attended two of Foxx’s three shows, which took place on Oct. 4, 5 and 6 at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta.

On Oct. 7, Comedy Hype uploaded a YouTube video in which Choke said, “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.”

Choke claimed Foxx stated during the tapings that “Diddy was responsible for what happened to him, and [Foxx] is the one who called the FBI on [Combs].” However, it is unclear whether the alleged comments will be included in the final cut of the special.

Earlier this month, Choke No Joke — who is a videographer, producer and director — told Comedy Hype he attended two of Foxx’s three tapings for the comedian’s forthcoming Netflix special, “What Had Happened Was,” in Atlanta.
Asked whether the alleged comments were presented as a “joke,” Choke replied, “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,” Choke continued, noting that he didn’t want to “give away [Foxx’s] jokes.”

Page Six cannot independently confirm whether the alleged comments were made or received by others in jest.

“After [Foxx] said, ‘Diddy did something to me,’ he said, ‘And I’m the one who called the feds on him,’” Choke reiterated, hypothesizing 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,” Choke claimed.

Asked whether the alleged comments were presented as a “joke,” Choke replied, “I don’t think he was joking.”
According to Choke, the stars appeared to be “bros” until something allegedly caused their relationship to sour.

When reached for comment by Page Six, Choke explained that he was shocked to hear Foxx allegedly make the claims out loud, as he and other industry insiders had previously heard the rumors.

He told us phones were confiscated ahead of the shows but that as soon as he got his back, he took a selfie with Foxx.

Meanwhile, celebrity security guard Big Homie .CC alleged in an on-camera interview with Cam Capone News last week, “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.”

When reached for comment by Page Six, Big Homie claimed that his knowledge was based on hearing Foxx tell his story at two of his comedy show tapings, which Big Homie said he attended with a client.

Media Take Out echoed the sentiments in a report earlier this week, claiming that Foxx alleged during his sets that Combs had poisoned him and was “responsible” for his hospitalization.

According to the outlet, the crowd initially started laughing, prompting Foxx to allegedly look directly at an audience member and give them a serious stare.

However, a third attendee, Dennis L.A. White, told Page Six that he went to the second and third tapings of the show. He claimed he heard Foxx say something more along the lines of, “People keep asking me if Diddy was responsible. He was not responsible. If he was, I would’ve been dead.”

White added that he does not recall Foxx mentioning the federal government or law enforcement; however, he claimed Foxx spent a good amount of the sets talking about Combs — even making several jokes about “baby oil.”

After his series of performances, Foxx took to Instagram with a heartfelt message that read in part, “God is good. … I had an opportunity to tell my side of the story and there was no better place than Atlanta Georgia,” where he was hospitalized.

He added, “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.”

The caption accompanied two photos, one of which showed him crying on stage with a microphone in hand.

Reps for Combs, Foxx and Netflix did not respond to our repeated requests for comment.

In April 2023, Foxx’s eldest daughter, Corinne Foxx, announced the star had “experienced a medical complication” but did not reveal specifics.

Three months later, Jamie, 56, elaborated on his “hellish” experience but did not disclose an exact diagnosis.

“I went through something I thought I would never, ever go through,” the multi-hyphenate told his Instagram followers in a selfie-style video in July 2023, clarifying that he was neither “blind” nor “paralyzed.”

Still, he admitted he didn’t know whether he “was going to make it through.”

The following month, Jamie posted a message on Instagram that read, “They killed this dude name[d] Jesus … What do you think they’ll do to you???! #fakefriends #fakelove.”

At the time, many deemed the upload to be “antisemitic,” prompting Jamie to delete it and “apologize to the Jewish community and everyone who was offended by [his] post.”

He went on to explain, “To clarify, I was betrayed by a fake friend and that’s what I meant with ‘they’ not anything more.”

Shortly after, the actor referred to his health scare as “an unexpected dark journey.”

Then in July of this year, he was recorded telling a group of people in Phoenix that on April 11, 2023, he had a “bad headache,” so he asked his “boy for Advil.”

Jamie then snapped his fingers and said, “I was gone for 20 days,” insisting that he doesn’t “remember anything.”

Noting that he was “in Atlanta” when he was hospitalized, the musician explained that his sister and his daughter took him to “the first doctor.”

Jamie then mumbled something to the person next to him, but it was inaudible in the video.

“Next doctor said, ‘[There’s] something going on up there,’” he went on, pointing to his head.

“I won’t say it on camera,” he quickly added while looking directly at the person filming.

As for Combs, the rapper-turned-mogul is behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he is being held without bail.

Combs, 54, was arrested last month on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, to which he pleaded not guilty.

According to the indictment, federal agents discovered more than 1,000 bottles of lubricant, various narcotics and three AR-15s when they raided his Los Angeles and Miami mansions in March.

Prosecutors claimed the Grammy winner “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct” for decades, “creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in … sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”

Per the indictment, Combs and members of his Combs Enterprise allegedly facilitated multiple “Freak Offs” — drug-fueled sex gatherings.

During these events, the hip-hop star allegedly “hit, kicked, threw objects at and dragged victims, at times, by their hair,” according to the indictment, which further claimed that he “subjected victims to physical, emotional and verbal abuse to cause the victims to engage in Freak Offs,” which he “often electronically recorded.”

The alleged assaults “often resulted in injuries that took days or weeks to heal,” per prosecutors.

Combs’ trial date has been set for May 5, 2025; if convicted, he faces a minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum of life.

The father of seven is also up against a barrage of lawsuits alleging similar behavior; he continues to maintain his innocence.
