Jamie Foxx has returned to the spotlight with his new Netflix comedy special, What Had Happened Was…, where he takes on wild internet rumors with his signature humor. From internet speculation about his health to jabs at hip-hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs, the special showcases Foxx’s knack for blending comedy with personal anecdotes.
Tackling Sean Diddy Combs Rumors
The internet recently swirled with bizarre rumors claiming Sean Diddy Combs poisoned Foxx, allegedly causing his hospitalization. These allegations triggered widespread discussions and even speculation about FBI involvement. In the special, Foxx addresses these rumors head-on, delivering a punchline that immediately sets the tone.
“The internet was trying to kill me,” Foxx joked, referencing the online frenzy. “They said Puffy tried to kill me. Did he?”
Foxx’s playful reference to Combs’ nickname, Puffy, landed perfectly with the audience, but he didn’t stop there. The comedian took a playful jab at Diddy’s infamous parties, saying, “I was out by 9 p.m., because something don’t look right, it’s slippery in here.”
Later, Foxx amped up the humor with a cheeky quip about Diddy, saying, “If it was Puffy, he had a flaming bottle of Johnson &… I’m just kidding.” This reference to baby oil, paired with Foxx’s comedic timing, left the audience laughing while subtly poking fun at Diddy’s controversial public image.
Reflecting on Health Challenges
In addition to the comedic commentary, Foxx also used the special to share details about his health struggles. He revealed that in April 2023, he suffered a brain bleed that led to a stroke. While he refrained from delving too deeply into the medical details, Foxx’s candor struck a chord with viewers.
The comedian’s ability to find humor in adversity showcases his resilience and relatability. Addressing these challenges allowed Foxx to connect with his audience on a more personal level, highlighting not only his comedic talent but also his strength in facing life’s difficulties.
