Choke No Joke, producer and director, told Comedy Hype’s youtube account October 7th he was in the first and third show.
Choke No Joke said Foxx identified himself as “the FBI caller” Combs, 54, who has been in custody since his September arrest in New York City in connection with federal sex trafficking allegations.
Foxx said in a serious tone during one of the shows that ‘Diddy was responsible for what happened to him,’ Choke No Joke told.
Foxx was in hiding for fear of retaliation from Combs, Choke No Joke said, citing how the actor quickly returned to the spotlight after Combs was arrested on Sept. 16, attending 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 heavily based on? ‘Diddy.’
Choke No Joke later said Page six Foxx spoke out on the topic, having previously heard rumors within the entertainment industry linking Foxx’s health issues to Combs’ legal troubles.
Big Homie.CC, who is a famous bodyguard, said in an October 19 exchange with Cam Capone News who believes Foxx was “poisoned” by Combs last year, leading to a long period of recovery and convincing Foxx to present information to authorities about Combs.
Big Homie.CC said: “Jamie Foxx reported him to the FBI for this…Jamie Foxx reported this man to the FBI for this.”

Another attendee, Dennis LA White, told the outlet that he had been to the last two shows and believes Foxx distanced Combs from his health issues in his monologues.
White said Foxx said something like: ‘People keep asking me if Diddy was responsible. He was not responsible. If he was, he would have been dead.
