Jamie Foxx took the stage at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles on May 29, 2025, and spoke about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing sex-trafficking case. Foxx, who won the Best Actor award for portraying Ray Charles in the 2004 biopic Ray, is currently on the Emmys campaign trail to promote his Netflix comedy special, What Had Happened Was.
Jamie Foxx calls out Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs amid ongoing case
Jamie Foxx participated in a Q&A session while he was at The Comedy Store and soon started speaking about Diddy. The rapper is currently on trial and faces multiple counts for racketeering, sex trafficking by force, and transportation for purposes of prostitution.
“Diddy is crazy, huh?” Foxx said, addressing the audience. “I don’t know if he is going to jail but he is a nasty motherf—–. Am I right? Specially for us… White people, like, ‘It’s cool,’ but for Black people… that was our hero. All that goddamn baby oh, boy! Why you so nasty, Diddy?”
Notably, Foxx’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, served as the moderator at the event. She hinted that her father should stop speaking about Combs. This prompted Foxx to say, “Oh, that’s right. It’s the Emmys. My bad, I’m sorry, so sorry.”
However, Foxx didn’t stop voicing his opinion on the rapper. He noted that while watching the trial, he was reminded of an interaction between Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy’s characters in the 1999 comedy thriller Life. Lawrence’s Claude Banks asks Murphy’s Ray Gibson why he was “nasty,” leading to Ray responding with the same expletive as the above.
Previously, there were rumors that Combs had tried to have Foxx killed after the actor was hospitalized. Foxx dismissed these claims in What Had Happened Was. He said in the comedy special, “The internet said Puffy was trying to kill me, that’s what the internet was saying. I know what you thinking, ‘Diddy?’ Hell no, I left them parties early” (via New York Post).
