Jamie Foxx Compares Diddy to the Devil as He Describes Near-Death Drama

Jamie Foxx compared Sean “Diddy” Combs to the devil in a new Netflix special revealing his near-death experience after suffering a brain bleed and a stroke.

The actor and comedian struggled to hold back tears as he explained the mystery illness that left him unable to walk and needing emergency brain surgery.

“Your life doesn’t flash before your face, it was kind of oddly peaceful,” he told a hushed audience in Atlanta, the city where the medical drama unfolded in April 2023 while he was filming the movie Back in Action with Cameron Diaz.

“I say this all the time, I saw the tunnel, I didn’t see the light, “ he continued. “It was hot in that tunnel. I thought, s–t, have I gone to the wrong place? I looked at the end of the tunnel and I thought I saw the devil saying come on… or was that Puffy?

“I’m f—ing around,” he laughed, “but if that was Puffy he had a flaming bottle of Johnson and… no, I’m just kidding. ‘Come on in here, n—–!’ No, I’m just kidding.”

Foxx also began the stand-up special with another dig at Combs, who is facing charges of kidnapping, drugging, and coercing women into sexual activities.

“The internet was trying to kill me,” Foxx said, referencing the online speculation that Combs had something to do with his hospitalization. He joked: “The internet was saying that Puffy was trying to kill me. I know what you’re thinking… Did he?!”

“Hell, no,” he added with a jibe about Combs’ infamous “Freak Off” parties. “I left them parties early. I was out by 9, n—–, something don’t look right, n—–. It looks slippery in here!”

Foxx also hit back at Katt Williams, who trolled Foxx in his Netflix special, saying: “We know all of the illnesses… Never in the history of medicine has there been a mystery illness. A mystery illness means your a– is fine.”

Foxx joked about the comic’s voice and quipped that Williams had turned into the “Wicked Witch of the West,” adding: “Katt will say 2,000 things that don’t make sense but then says four things that make sense.”

Telling the full story of his medical breakdown on his Netflix show, What Had Happened Was…, released on Monday, Foxx was at times overcome with emotion as he paid tribute to his sister Deidra Dixon for saving his life.

“It is a mystery,” said Foxx. “We still don’t know exactly what happened to me. I was having a bad headache and I asked my boy for an aspirin. Before I could get the aspirin, I went out. I don’t remember 20 days.

“What they told me was they took me to the first doctor and they gave me a cortisone shot and sent me home. I don’t know if you can do Yelps for doctors, but that’s half a star.

“My sister said ‘No!’—4-foot-11 and full of nothing but love. She said, ‘Something’s wrong with my brother.’”

Dixon drove her brother to Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, where another doctor told them he was having “a brain bleed that’s led to a stroke.”

The doctor said, “If I don’t go in his head right now, you’re going to lose him.”

Foxx said he didn’t remember anything for 20 days and woke up in a wheelchair unable to walk. “Jamie Foxx don’t get strokes. That’s old man s–t,” he said.

“I was dizzy from the stroke so my head would do this,” he said, shaking his head.

The doctor told him he could make a full recovery but that it would be “the worst year of his life.”

“That’s what it was, Atlanta,” he said.

The Oscar-winning actor and comedian went on to impersonate Denzel Washington, Dave Chappelle, Mike Tyson, Jay-Z, and President-elect Donald Trump.
