Jamie Foxx

In a move that has set Hollywood abuzz, multi-talented entertainer Jamie Foxx is reportedly tackling the dramatic events surrounding his 2023 hospitalization in his upcoming Netflix special, titled "What Had Happened Was". Scheduled to be released after a high-stakes bidding war won by the streaming giant, the special promises to delve deep into Foxx's personal life and career like never before.

Foxx, who has remained relatively private about the mysterious health scare that left fans concerned, appears to be using the platform to address speculation head-on. The whispers about the involvement of rapper and producer Sean "Diddy" Combs in the incident have been circulating for some time, fueled by industry insiders and bolstered by recent allegations made by Foxx during the taping of his new special.

Eyewitnesses who attended the taping sessions in Atlanta earlier this month have expressed shock and intrigue at Foxx's candid remarks. Among those in attendance was fellow comedian and videographer, Choke No Joke, who claimed that Foxx pointedly blamed Combs for his health crisis, even suggesting that he had contacted the FBI regarding the incident. This sensational claim has not been independently verified, and reactions have been mixed, with some speculating whether Foxx's statements are part of an elaborate comedic setup.

Adding fuel to the fire, celebrity security guard Big Homie CC has publicly asserted that Combs attempted to poison Foxx, which he believes directly led to the hospitalization. Whether these claims will make it to the final cut of the Netflix special remains to be seen, as editing decisions can significantly alter the narrative presented to audiences.

Foxx, known for his versatility across films, music, and comedy, has taken to social media to express gratitude for the support he received during his recovery, calling it an "artistic explanation" of a troubling time. His Instagram post following the shows acknowledged the gravity of the content he was presenting, hinting at both the therapeutic and performative aspects of his storytelling process.

As anticipation builds for the special's release, industry players and fans alike are curious to see how Foxx balances humor with the serious undertones of his story. Whether or not the controversial elements remain intact, Jamie Foxx's foray into this delicate subject matter underscores his willingness to confront personal and public challenges with courage and artistry.
