Jamie Foxx Says Diddy Accusations Hurt The Black Community: 'That Was Our Hero'
Jamie Foxx isn't holding back when it comes to Sean 'Diddy' Combs and the mountain of legal trouble currently surrounding the music mogul. The Academy Award winning actor and comedian pegged him as 'nasty' as part of a recent standup bit. During an appearance at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles, Foxx lit into Diddy with a sharp mix of humor and disbelief, taking jabs at the disgraced rapper amid his ongoing federal sex trafficking and racketeering investigation. 'That Diddy sh*t crazy, huh?' Foxx opened, prompting laughter and humored reactions from the crowd. Referring to the now-infamous 2024 federal raids of Combs' properties—where agents allegedly confiscated a suspiciously large amount of baby oil—Foxx took the jokes further. 'I don't know if he's going to jail but he's a nasty motherf**ker! Am I right? Especially for our community. White people, it's cool, but for Black people, like, that was our hero! All that goddamn baby oil, boy.' Foxx didn't stop there. He reflected on the cultural impact of Diddy, noting the fall from grace hits harder for the Black community. 'For the Black people in here, you know how that hurts us. 'Cause Diddy was, 'It's all about the Benjamins.' That was our whole culture. Now, 'It's all about the baby oil.'' This isn't the first time Foxx has referenced the embattled Bad Boy CEO. In his comedy special What Had Happened Was, Foxx joked about wild internet rumors tying Diddy to his 2023 medical emergency. 'The internet said Puffy was trying to kill me, that's what the internet was saying,' he told the audience. 'I know what you thinking, 'Diddy?' Hell no, I left them parties early.' Foxx is currently on a run promoting What Had Happened Was and recently appeared in the Netflix comedy Back In Action opposite Cameron Diaz. Hear audio of Foxx's remarks about Combs below.

Jamie Foxx roasts Sean ‘Diddy' Combs over vulgar testimonies in sex-trafficking trial: ‘He's a nasty motherf—ker'
Jamie Foxx roasted 'nasty' Sean 'Diddy' Combs over the vulgar testimonies that have been given in the disgraced rapper's sex-trafficking trial. 'That Diddy s–t crazy, huh?' he said while performing on stage at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood, Calif., last Thursday, per a video obtained by Urban Hollywood. 'I don't know if he's going to jail but he's a nasty motherf–ker! Am I right? Especially for our community — white people, it's cool, but Black people, like, that was our hero. All that goddman baby oil, boy.' Foxx, 57, then brought up Combs' ex-girlfriend Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura's testimony about how the disgraced rapper allegedly made a male escort urinate in her mouth. 'And then the urine,' he added, before his 31-year-old daughter, Corinne Foxx — who was moderating the Netflix event — interrupted him. 'Oh, that's right. Just let it be. My bad, I'm sorry,' the comedian said. However, Jamie didn't let it go and continued questioning the alleged sexual acts Combs, 55, was involved in. 'Why you so nasty, Diddy? Old nasty motherf–ker,' he continued. ''Take that, Take that.' That makes you listen to that differently now. What are we taking? 'Cause I don't want any of that,' the Grammy winner continued on, referring to the phrase the Bad Boy Records founder famously uttered. 'For the Black people in here, you know how that hurts us. 'Cause Diddy was, 'It's all about the Benjamins.' That was our whole culture. Now, 'It's all about the baby oil.'' Page Six has reached out to Combs' rep for comment but did not immediately hear back. The dad of seven is currently on trial facing three charges: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has pleaded not guilty and denied all culpability. Last month, Jamie finally set the record straight about rumors that the 'I'll Be Missing You' emcee tried to kill him when the singer had his medical emergency in 2023. '… I snuck in my phone because I didn't know what the outside world was saying and I couldn't get my mind around the fact that I had a stroke. I'm in f–kng perfect shape,' the 'Ray' actor recalled during a Hollywood Reporter roundtable of his time being hospitalized. '[I see things like,] 'Puffy tried to kill me.' No, Puffy didn't try to kill me,' he stated. Jamie revealed in December 2024 that his medical emergency was due to a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

Ms Jones said: "I have always enjoyed finding comedy in the darker life experiences. "Laughing at trauma is my go-to coping mechanism, which is lucky, as I seem to be someone who attracts bizarre life events. "Also, I did some research and, so far, it appears I am the only person in the world to have fed their dad to a pelican, so I'm making history here." Kayleigh Jones (Image: Karla Gowlett) Kayleigh Jones (Image: Lynsey Nicol) Ms Jones is a working-class comedy performer with a background in acting and musical theatre.
