Jamie Foxx Sets Record Straight on Diddy Hit Plot Rumor
In the pantheon of Hollywood tall tales, the idea that Sean “Diddy” Combs hatched a murder plot against Jamie Foxx might just claim the gold medal for “Most Outlandish Gossip.” Foxx confronted the chatter during a candid March 30 interview with GQ, branding the viral theory “completely absurd” and “a wild script that no one handed me.” Of course, this nugget of clickbait—from a fringe YouTube channel on February 14—spread faster than a paparazzi flash, proving that half of the internet is allergic to facts. Foxx says his phone blew up with frantic messages, which he initially thought were birthday wishes gone horribly wrong. The actor quipped, “I wondered if someone slipped me an April Fool’s draft,” though the calendar clearly read March. Meanwhile, Diddy’s camp has stayed suspiciously silent—because why let denials spoil a good rumor mill?
According to People Magazine, no law enforcement investigation or lawsuit supports the hit-plot narrative, and court records show zero restraining orders exchanged between the two stars. TMZ corroborated that neither Foxx nor Combs has ever filed a police complaint against the other. This isn’t exactly the plot twist your tabloid thrives on, but it’s what happens when you mix idle speculation with Google. Foxx further reminded listeners of his decades-long friendship with Diddy, noting they’ve collaborated on charitable efforts and music promos—hardly the modus operandi of mortal enemies. For those still clutching their tin-foil hats, Foxx suggested a new hobby: perhaps extreme couponing.
In a tweet following the GQ piece, Foxx wryly thanked “online detectives” for turning nothing into a Netflix special, adding that he’d rather spend his time acting and raising awareness for diabetes than playing nerve-wracking cat-and-mouse with Diddy. Rolling Stone points out that this saga underscores how quickly unfounded rumors can metastasize when fueled by viral retweets and late-night talk shows hungry for “drama.” It’s a cautionary tale in digital era mythmaking: mix one celebrity name, a dash of alleged treachery, and watch the world’s collective credulity do the rest.
There you have it. No secret meetings in dark alleys, no coded phone calls—just two megastars, an overzealous rumor mill, and a lesson that sometimes the biggest story is there is no story. Tune in next time for more bad decisions and questionable life choices.
