A murder plot rumor should be at the top of what keeps people up at night, but for Jamie Foxx, it is having him cloned!
The legendary actor is debunking all the disastrous conspiracy theories that developed from his health situation at the time, including a claim that he was cloned and that Diddy was responsible for his situation.
Jamie Foxx was wheeled into the emergency room in April 2023 after he reportedly suffered a terrible headache and even requested an Advil for the crushing pain.
Jamie Foxx Slams Cloning Rumors

While many thought name-dropping Diddy as the reason for Foxx's collapse was the worst conspiracy, something else infuriated the actor. The legendary actor learned that words circulated around the web that he was cloned after he recovered from his sickness. In his words:
"When they said I was a clone, that made me flip. I'm sitting in the hospital bed, like, 'These b-tch-a-s motherf–kers are trying to clone me.'"
He later admitted to nearly believing the theories and even challenging his psychiatrist.
"And then I saw me walk into my room, but I'm white, so I see the white me. The next morning, I said, 'I know what's up, you're trying to clone me and make me white so I'll sell better overseas,'" the actor explained.
The psychiatrist then asked if the actor was fine, and he recalled replying, "Am I all right, or am I all white? I saw you trying to get the white motherf-cking Jamie Foxx, and it ain't going to happen."
Following his incoherent outburst, the actor shared withThe Hollywood Reporter that his psychiatrist immediately suggested lowering his dosage.
The Comedian Dismissed Reports Of Diddy Playing A Role In His Sickness

Foxx reacted to news of the rapper’s role in his medical emergency. He explained that he had to get on his phone during recovery to get a view of what was going on online about his situation.
To his utmost surprise, the actor discovered that there was an ongoing narrative about the Bad Boys Records founder trying to eliminate him with a health attack. As shared by The Blast, Foxx refused to address the reports last year at a public sighting.
When asked to air his opinions on the issue, the actor simply replied to the curious ears with a smile and a stern “God bless you.” He also informed reporters he was in excellent shape and doing great healthwise.
Members of the audience at his Netflix show also referred to the rumors as a harmless joke that originated from the comedian himself at his show’s taping.
Inside Moments Leading To Foxx's Hospitalization

Foxx took stock of his situation to eager listeners in 2023 in downtown Phoenix, explaining that everything began with a distressing headache. The actor reportedly sought a solution to end the stubborn ache, but that was the last thing he remembered.
The actor did not open his eyes until 20 days later, with zero recollection of what happened after he requested painkillers from his "boy." Foxx continued that he later got a report that his sister and his daughter took him to the hospital for first aid.
However, things took an interesting turn as the doctor informed him that they had to perform a surgical procedure on his head. He shared that the doctor stressed the urgency of a surgery to his sister, insisting that he might die if they did not swing into action.
The Texas Native Parted Ways With His Partner Of Nearly Two Years

The year 2025 started on a transformative note for the actor as The Blast shared in January that Foxx broke things off with his girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp over 18 months into the romance.
The pair began their relationship that blossomed after the actor experienced his health scare, which left him incapacitated for several months. According to an insider, Huckstepp was a "great" presence in Foxx's life following his health challenges.
The couple was inseparable after they got together as they jetted out to Mexico for a couple's getaway. They also grabbed dinner with their friends at the popular Nobu restaurant in Malibu, where they publicly acknowledged their romance that summer.
Huckstepp remained a very supportive partner throughout their relationship as she stepped out with the actor on various filming projects, including a commercial shoot for BetMGM in July 2024.

The 57-year-old's split happened shortly after he declared he was done dating white girls in his Netflix comedy special.
During the show, he euphorically announced to the audience that he was "back on the Black side of town." Before his relationship with Huckstepp, the actor was in a six-year romance with actress Katie Holmes from 2013 to 2019.
In 1993, he began dating Connie Kline and welcomed a daughter the following year. He moved on with Leila Arcieri in 2005. Three years later, he ignited a romance with Kristin Grannis and welcomed another daughter, Anelise, the same year.
