Jamie Foxx set the record straight on the running conspiracy theory that Sean “Diddy” Combs was behind his 2023 medical emergency.

“… 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,” Foxx recalled of his time in the hospital during a Hollywood Reporter roundtable published Thursday.

“[I see things like,] ‘Puffy tried to kill me.’ No, Puffy didn’t try to kill me,” the actor stated.

However, the Oscar winner seemed to be more upset about another rumor claiming he was cloned.

“When they said I was a clone, that made me flip. I’m sitting in the hospital bed, like, ‘These bitch-ass motherf–kers are trying to clone me,’” he joked.

The “Django Unchained” star, 57, previously touched on the conspiracy theory about Combs following the disgraced music mogul’s September 2024 arrest.

Foxx poked fun at the Bad Boy Records founder — who is currently on trial for sex trafficking and racketeering — as well as his own life-threatening health scare in his Netflix stand-up special, “What Had Happened Was,” which premiered that December.

“The internet said Puffy was trying to kill me, that’s what the internet was saying,” Foxx told the audience. “I know what you thinking, ‘Diddy?’

“Hell no, I left them parties early,” he continued, referencing Combs’ infamous bashes.

Foxx quipped that he was always “out by 9” since “something [didn’t] look right” at the rapper’s soirées, which allegedly led to wild sex performances dubbed “Freak-Offs.”

In his comedy special, Foxx revealed his medical emergency was due to a brain bleed that led to a stroke. The actor had originally attributed his hospitalization to a “bad headache.”

The comedian said doctors told his sister Deidra Dixon, “If I don’t go in his head right now, we’re going to lose him.’”

After his surgery, Dixon was told, “We didn’t find where it was coming from, but he is having a stroke. He may be able to make a full recovery but it’s going to be the worst year of his life.”
