Jamie Foxx roasted “nasty” Sean “Diddy” Combs over the vulgar testimonies that have been given in the disgraced rapper’s sex-trafficking trial.

“That Diddy sh*t crazy, huh?” he said while performing on stage at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood, California, last Thursday, per a video obtained by Urban Hollywood.

“I don’t know if he’s going to jail but he’s a nasty motherf**ker! Am I right? Especially for our community — white people, it’s cool, but Black people, like, that was our hero. All that goddman baby oil, boy.”

Foxx, 57, then brought up Combs’ ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura’s testimony about how the disgraced rapper allegedly made a male escort urinate in her mouth.

“And then the urine,” he added, before his 31-year-old daughter, Corinne Foxx — who was moderating the Netflix event — interrupted him.

“Oh, that’s right. Just let it be. My bad, I’m sorry,” the comedian said.

However, Jamie didn’t let it go and continued questioning the alleged sexual acts Combs, 55, was involved in.

“Why you so nasty, Diddy? Old nasty motherf**ker,” he continued.

“‘Take that, Take that.’ That makes you listen to that differently now. What are we taking? ‘Cause I don’t want any of that,” the Grammy winner continued on, referring to the phrase the Bad Boy Records founder famously uttered.

“For the Black people in here, you know how that hurts us. ‘Cause Diddy was, ‘It’s all about the Benjamins.’ That was our whole culture. Now, ‘It’s all about the baby oil.’”

Page Six has reached out to Combs’ rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

The dad of seven is currently on trial facing three charges: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Combs has pleaded not guilty and denied all culpability.

Last month, Jamie finally set the record straight about rumours that the rapper tried to kill him when the singer had his medical emergency in 2023.

“ … I snuck in my phone because I didn’t know what the outside world was saying and I couldn’t get my mind around the fact that I had a stroke. I’m in f**kng perfect shape,” the Ray actor recalled during a Hollywood Reporter roundtable of his time being hospitalised.

“[I see things like,] ‘Puffy tried to kill me.’ No, Puffy didn’t try to kill me,” he stated.

Jamie revealed in December 2024 that his medical emergency was due to a brain bleed that led to a stroke.
