Did P. Diddy poison Jamie Foxx?

In April 2023, actor and singer Jamie Foxx was urgently hospitalized. For a long time, no one knew exactly what was going on. The rumor mill was working overtime: it was said that P. Diddy had poisoned him. All speculations finally come to an end, in the Netflix special ‘Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was’, Jamie reveals for the first time what really happened.

More than just a headache

It started with a severe headache, Jamie felt unwell and asked his friends for an aspirin. But before he could take it, he lost consciousness. It wasn't until twenty days later that he woke up again, and he can't remember anything from that time. His family was informed that it was a brain hemorrhage, which had led to a stroke. Jamie could recover, but it would be the toughest year of his life. Shielded from the outside world, he rehabilitated. A conscious choice by his family who didn't want the public to see him like that. For months, Jamie had to relearn everything; he could no longer walk or wash himself. Something he found hard to accept. “A stroke is something for old men.” His family, faith and humor carried him through this period. Because, as he says himself: “If I could stay funny, I could stay alive.”

What did Diddy do?

Although Jamie's family wanted to protect him from all outside opinions, this did lead to the craziest stories circulating. In the mystery surrounding the hospitalization, the name of P. Diddy kept coming up. He was said to be responsible for what happened to the actor. After the announcement of the Netflix special, one rumor after another was thrown into the world. According to various attendees of the film shoot, Jamie himself was also convinced that the rapper had wanted to poison him, and even the FBI was involved. Meanwhile, the team of Diddy, as they do with everything, denied the allegations. Now that the special is out, it seems to be not as bad as it sounded. Jamie mentions Diddy's name several times but makes more of a joke out of it. It seems unlikely that the rapper is really involved, although we can never be completely sure about that.

The events have had a significant impact, as shown by the emotion with which Jamie tells his story. But it's not just a tearjerker. He also knows how to use the necessary music and humor that he himself has benefited from so much. ‘Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was’ is now available on Netflix.
