Jamie Foxx Says Diddy Was A “Hero” Before Sex Trafficking Allegations

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.
