While many internet blog pages/smaller news sites are posting this, it seems the only confirmation could come from the FBI itself, as Jamie Foxx has provided no proof for his claim that he called the FBI to take down Diddy. Foxx has also alleged that Diddy was responsible for his hospitalization.

I don't see anywhere in the source provided that Jamie Foxx outwardly made those claims about Diddy. The source does write, "Three separate people claimed that Jamie, 56, made comments indicating that Diddy, 54, was responsible for his hospitalization in 2023". This does not show any sort of evidence that the claims are true but more so allegations. I traced Yahoo's source back to Page Six which also claimed that multiple people on set of an upcoming Jamie Foxx Netflix series heard Foxx say things regarding his hospitalization being Diddy's fault. 

Although I came across many news blogs that reported the same information (with very  misleading headlines), I overall don't think that these claims are fact until Jamie Foxx comes forward to make those claims himself ( which would still be alleged) or there is actual evidence connecting his hospitalization to Diddy.

There is a lot of hearsay in the articles talking about this. The claim is that during a live performance/taping of Jamie Foxx's new Netflix comedy show he apparently said that Diddy had to do with his hospitalization last year and he called the FBI on him. All of the sites covering this are tabloids or not super credible sources and many of the claims come from rumors. Even if he did say this, it's hard to tell if he's joking or not, with some sites taking the allegations more seriously than others and some being unsure if it was even said. For instance, in a TMZ article it is stated "No one was allowed to film inside the venue, so it’s a bit murky what was really said. We're told it’s still unclear if that joke will even make the cut in the special." while an article from page six takes the entire situation as complete fact. As it is now, there is no definitive way to tell what is true or not in this situation, at least til we get an actual statement from Foxx or the special comes out and shows a clear tone of what he said.
