Joe Rogan Reacts To Rumor That Diddy ‘Poisoned’ Jamie Foxx

The rumors linking the Bad Boy mogul with the “Django” star’s ill health the previous year began to swirl after eyewitnesses alleged that Foxx had made comments about it during tapings for his upcoming Netflix special.

However, sources have since claimed that Jamie Foxx was only joking about Diddy being the cause of his health scare.

Rogan recently reacted to the rumors that Diddy “poisoned” Foxx, leading to the actor’s mysterious health issue in 2023.

“Jamie Foxx just recently said that P Diddy poisoned him, and that’s why he got that stroke,” Rogan told his guests Shane Gillis, Mark Normand, and Ari Shaffir, per the Daily Mail.

He added about Foxx, “He talked about it on stage … He talked about it on his Netflix special.”

Due to how wild the claim felt, Rogan also shared that it is likely “The Burial” actor made the comments as part of a joke for his upcoming Netflix special.

Rogan said, “It’s possible, that’s totally possible, but it’s also possible he was explaining why he went to the hospital, and he hasn’t talked about it since.”

To conclude the discussion, Rogan noted, “We won’t know until we see the actual Jamie Foxx Netflix special. “

The rumors Rogan addressed began after several eyewitnesses who attended the tapings of Foxx’s upcoming Netflix special claimed the actor linked Diddy to his illness.

“I know [Combs] poisoned Jamie Foxx, and Jamie Foxx reported him to the FBI because of it… Jamie Foxx reported this man to the FBI because of this,” said one of the sources, named Big Homie. CC.

While making his claims, he revealed that he was at the show’s taping with a guest whom he was hired to bodyguard.

Another source, videographer Choke No Joke, also made a similar claim during an interview on Comedy Hype, adding that he did not think Foxx was making a joke with the allegations.

Choke No Joke told his host, “Y’all can determine was he joking or not when you see the show, ’cause to me — I’m a new comedian, right? … I know when somebody’s setting up a punchline, and I know when you’re serious.”

Foxx seemingly added fuel to the rumors that Diddy “poisoned” him after he stylishly dodged a question on whether or not the reports were true.

According to the Daily Mail, the actor was seen filling up his sleek baby-blue Mercedes G-Wagon in Los Angeles late last month and was asked to weigh in on the rumors.

He replied, “God bless you,” deflecting the topic with a smile. The comedian went on to add, “I’m feeling good, I’m feeling better.”

However, sources at the show dispelled the Diddy poisoning rumors, telling TMZ that while Foxx did mention the rapper’s name during his one-man show, it was all in “jest.”

Diddy’s third bail request was denied ahead of his sex crimes trial in May 2025. The rapper’s lawyers had argued that it was necessary for him to be released as being locked up before the trial had hampered his preparation for the case.

They proposed “an extremely substantial, comprehensive bail package” that included several conditions alongside a $50 million bond to secure the music mogul’s release.

However, the presiding judge, Arun Subramanian, ruled in favor of the prosecutors’ wishes for Diddy’s continued incarceration in the Metropolitan Detention Center.

“The Court finds that the government has shown by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community,” read the ruling, per USA TODAY.

Subramanian also mentioned in his ruling that federal prosecutors had presented “compelling evidence of Combs’s propensity for violence,” including the viral 2016 video of the embattled rapper assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassandra “Cassie Ventura.

In September, Diddy was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution following an indictment by a federal grand jury.

The arrest revealed allegations that the rapper used his wealth and influence in the entertainment industry to “fulfill his sexual desires,” including organizing hedonistic parties known as “freak offs,” where female victims were allegedly forced to engage in marathon sex with male prostitutes.

It was also claimed that Diddy recorded these gatherings electronically for his personal interest.

In addition, the rapper is facing a series of civil lawsuits filed over the past year by multiple alleged victims.

The suits accuse him of rape, trafficking, sexual abuse, and other sex crimes allegedly committed during the peak of his Hollywood career.

Diddy has consistently denied the allegations, also claiming he never sexually assaulted anyone in relation to both the federal case and the civil suits.
