Jamie Foxx compared Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to the devil in a new Netflix special in which he revealed his near-death experience after suffering a brain haemorrhage and stroke.
In the documentary, Jamie addressed the swirling rumors surrounding his mysterious hospitalization in 2023 and the alleged connection to Diddy.
The speculation gained traction after reports that Jamie made comments about Diddy, whose nickname is Puffy, while filming the show.
After explaining that he had suffered a stroke caused by a brain haemorrhage, Jamie explained: ‘I say this all the time, I saw the tunnel, I didn’t see the light.
‘It was hot in that tunnel. I thought, shit, did I go to the wrong place? I looked at the end of the tunnel and I thought I saw the devil saying, come on… or was that Puffy?’
“I’m just hanging out, but if that was Puffy, he’d have a flaming bottle of Johnson and… no, I’m just kidding.”

In the documentary, Jamie addressed the swirling rumors surrounding his mysterious hospitalization in 2023 and the alleged connection to Diddy.
Diddy is currently in federal custody awaiting trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges and was previously arrested on September 16 in New York.
In addition to the criminal charges against him, he is also facing a series of civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and physical violence.
In the special, Jamie addresses rumors linking the health crisis he faced last year to Diddy, and he kicked off the stand-up by taking a swipe at him.
‘The internet tried to kill me and said Puffy tried to kill me. No, I left those parties early. Something wasn’t right,” he joked.
“The internet tried to kill me,” Foxx said, referring to online speculation that Combs had something to do with his hospitalization. He joked: “The internet said Puffy tried to kill me. I know what you’re thinking… He did that?!”
“No way,” he added, joking about Combs’ infamous “Freak Off” parties. “I left those parties early. I was gone at nine o’clock, n—–, something’s wrong, n—–. It looks smooth here!’
A source close to Diddy previously emphasized to DailyMail.com in October that “there is no truth to the fact that Sean Combs hospitalized Jamie Foxx.”
Choke No Joke, a producer-director, shared on Comedy Hype’s YouTube account on October 7 that he was at the first and third shows.

Choke No Joke said Foxx identified himself as “the one who called the FBI” Combs, 54, who has been in custody since his September arrest in New York City on federal sex trafficking charges.
Foxx said in a serious tone during one of the shows that “Diddy was responsible for what happened to him,” Choke No Joke said.
Foxx laid low for fear of retaliation from Combs, Choke No Joke said, citing how the actor quickly returned to the spotlight after Combs was arrested on September 16 and attended a Dallas Cowboys practice the following week.
Choke No Joke added, “And now he just went and filmed his special. And who is the special strongly based on? Diddy.’
Choke No Joke then told Page Six that he was “shocked.” Foxx spoke on the topic as he previously heard rumors within the entertainment industry linking Foxx’s health issues to Combs’ legal troubles.
Big Homie.CC, a celebrity bodyguard, said in a conversation with Cam Capone News on October 19 that he believes Foxx was “poisoned” by Combs last year, leading to a long recovery period, and convinced Foxx to provide information to authorities to provide about Kammen.
Big Homie.CC said, “That’s why Jamie Foxx turned him in to the FBI… That’s why Jamie Foxx turned this guy in to the FBI.”
Big Homie.CC told Page Six that he attended two of Foxx’s shows in Atlanta while accompanying a client.

Another attendee, Dennis LA White, told the outlet that he had been on the last two shows, and believes Foxx distanced Combs from his health issues in his monologues.
White said Foxx said something along the lines of, “People keep asking me if Diddy was responsible. He was not responsible. If I had, I would have been dead.”
Foxx promoted the shows on his social media on September 2, saying he would “take the stage to share his journey through a serious health crisis, full of humor, heart and inspiration!”
The ad read: ‘Experience Jamie Foxx like never before in this intimate and captivating performance, as he talks about his struggles, triumphs and everything in between. Get ready for an evening of laughter, reflection and genuine connection.”
In a teaser for the show, directed by Hamish Hamilton, Foxx said: “I said, ‘If I can stay funny, then I can stay alive’ – I’m back.”
The comedy event is one of a number of upcoming projects the A-list actor has lined up, as he stars in the comedy film Back in Action for the streaming service in a reunion with Any Given Sunday and Annie co-star Cameron Diaz. The film is expected to start streaming on January 17, 2025.
Meanwhile, Diddy is currently being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Diddy is currently in federal custody awaiting trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges and was previously arrested on September 16 in New York.
Combs was arrested in Manhattan in September following an investigation into alleged sex trafficking, and he is accused of drugging and raping victims as young as nine.
And since being criminally charged, more than 100 victims have come forward claiming they were targeted by the disgraced rap mogul.
Diddy has denied guilty pleas that he coerced and abused women for years, aided by colleagues and employees, and silenced victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical abuse.
Federal agents have seized “1,000 bottles” of baby oil and lube from Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles as part of a raid related to an investigation into his alleged sex trafficking empire.
The Closer to God rapper was only defiant until CNN leaked a video of him violently attacking his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Fine at the InterContinental Century City in May 2016.
