Jamie Foxx Says Diddy Accusations Hurt The Black Community: 'That Was Our Hero'
Jamie Foxx isn't holding back when it comes to Sean 'Diddy' Combs and the mountain of legal trouble currently surrounding the music mogul. The Academy Award winning actor and comedian pegged him as 'nasty' as part of a recent standup bit.
During an appearance at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles, Foxx lit into Diddy with a sharp mix of humor and disbelief, taking jabs at the disgraced rapper amid his ongoing federal sex trafficking and racketeering investigation.
'That Diddy sh*t crazy, huh?' Foxx opened, prompting laughter and humored reactions from the crowd. Referring to the now-infamous 2024 federal raids of Combs' properties—where agents allegedly confiscated a suspiciously large amount of baby oil—Foxx took the jokes further.
'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 for Black people, like, that was our hero! All that goddamn baby oil, boy.'
Foxx didn't stop there. He reflected on the cultural impact of Diddy, noting the fall from grace hits harder for the Black community.
'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.''
This isn't the first time Foxx has referenced the embattled Bad Boy CEO. In his comedy special What Had Happened Was, Foxx joked about wild internet rumors tying Diddy to his 2023 medical emergency.
'The internet said Puffy was trying to kill me, that's what the internet was saying,' he told the audience. 'I know what you thinking, 'Diddy?' Hell no, I left them parties early.'
Foxx is currently on a run promoting What Had Happened Was and recently appeared in the Netflix comedy Back In Action opposite Cameron Diaz.

Texas' Arch Manning recalls advice from Matthew McConaughey at Manning Passing Academy
There are lots of eyes that gravitate toward the starting quarterback at a blue-blood college football program, let alone at a program such as Texas. For first-year starter Arch Manning, there comes even more fame and expectations given his family lineage, having Super Bowl-winning uncles Peyton and Eli Manning, and grandpa Archie Manning, who played in the NFL for 13 years. Arch Manning, speaking to The Athletic in an interview at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, Louisiana, mentioned receiving advice from one of the most famous Longhorns about his newfound position with the program. "A few. It depends on the night, but I stay pretty low key," Arch Manning told reporters via The Athletic on Friday when asked of how many picture requests he gets on campus. "... I had to get used to it a little bit. I've actually talked to Matthew McConaughey about that. He's given me some advice. He's been great to have in my corner." McConaughey, who's at nearly every Texas Longhorns football game and is known for his role as the team's "Minister of Culture," knows a thing or two about dealing with fame, especially within the context of Austin, Texas, as the Academy Award winner graduated from UT in 1993 and has taught classes at the university. Arch Manning, according to On3's name, image and likeness valuations, is the most valuable college athlete in 2025, as he's worth $6.8 million according to the metric. Arch Manning was even recently featured in a Raising Cane's advertisement alongside his dad, Cooper Manning, Archie Manning and LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. MORE: Steve Spurrier questions Arch Manning as Heisman Trophy favorite, Texas as SEC frontrunner Arch Manning, Cooper Manning, Archie Manning, Garrett Nussmeier, and Todd Graves always stop when they pass a Cane's on their way to @Manning Passing Academy What did McConaughey tell Arch Manning as the former No. 1-ranked quarterback takes over as signal caller in 2025 after two years of being Quinn Ewers' backup? "He's way more known than I am, so it's good anytime you get advice from him," Arch Manning said. "… He kind of told me you still have to live your life. He says he goes to the grocery store, walks down every aisle and he lives his life. You can't let you taking a picture or signing an autograph affect your life." Arch Manning passed for 939 yards with nine touchdowns to two interceptions as a redshirt freshman last season, also rushing for 108 yards and four scores. The 6-foot-4 quarterback threw for 325 yards with two touchdowns in a start against Mississippi State, as he filled in for the injured Ewers. Arch Manning is set to be perhaps the most talked about college athlete across all sports in 2025, and he'll look to remember McConaughey's advice as he aims to get Texas back to the College Football Playoff for the third consecutive year.

Underrated Queer TV Shows
Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community to recommend the most underrated LGBTQ+-led TV series. Here are 29 of their top responses: "First Kill on Netflix. Somewhat inspired by Romeo & Juliet. A vampire falls for a vampire hunter. Queer POC leads are not always common and very nice to see." —Anonymous, 25, NY "In the Flesh. It's beautiful, so relevant today, and the opposite of 'bury your gays.' It deserves a bigger audience. Check the trigger warnings, though." —Sarah, 35 "Overcompensating. It has a slow start, and the acting felt off initially. But eventually it grew on me, and it's really good. Great depiction of friendship and the mess of early adulthood and figuring yourself out. Can't wait for Season 2." —sallytracy "Do reality shows count? I Kissed A Boy and I Kissed A Girl on Hulu are constantly on replay at my house! Reality dating shows that have heartwarming conversations about coming out and being your authentic self along the way." —acidicswan78 "I know it's been canceled, but Our Flag Means Death still holds such a special place in my heart. I went in without knowing anything about the show, fully expecting to be queer-baited again, and was so glad to be proved wrong. It's got pirates, Fleetwood Mac, and great comedy! 🏴☠️🍊" —Anonymous, 25F, Arkansas, USA "Mid-Century Modern with Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, Nathan Lee Graham, and the late, great Linda Lavin." —blackbird68 "Heartstopper. I wish I had watched it when I was a teen; I would have been less uncomfortable with my questionings." —silencesilence "We Are Lady Parts on Channel 4." —Anonymous, 25 Europe "Wynonna Earp. God, I miss that show." —thisisfine "It's not an LGBTQ+ show per se, but I love Keith and David's relationship in the superb Six Feet Under. It's just wonderful!" —shabooshabah "Vicious." —Anonymous "The Owl House has some good LGBTQ+ characters and relationships." —magicalcoach402 "The 2019 reboot of Tales of the City on Netflix." —Anonymous, 25 Europe "The Magicians is great, even though it kinda fell apart at the end." —bluesundae638 "What It Feels Like For a Girl." —Anonymous, 18, Britain "Hacks is also good — Ava's bisexuality really opens up the eyes of the protagonist, Deborah, to discrimination." —shabooshabah "Orphan Black." —mizk23 "A League of Their Own!! Heartbroken it was cancelled immediately; there is such a gap in sapphic rep. :(" —Anonymous, 27, UK "If we're talking about shows that feature LGBTQ characters, then I'd recommend Lost Girl." —mizk23 "My So-Called Life." —mizk23 "I loved Orange is the New Black — there were plenty of gay relationships in that show, and they were represented as normal, dignified, and loving." —shabooshabah "Big Boys on Channel 4." —Anonymous, 25 Europe "Adults on FX." —Anonymous, 18, Scotland "Pretty Little Liars. I love the fact this show has a POC queer character (Emily), but not only that, her love interest is your stereotypical mean girl character, who you would typically see in a hetero relationship. Most lesbian characters are the athlete, the nerd, etc., not hyper-feminine like Alison is." —Anonymous, 25, NY "Feel Good on Netflix." —Anonymous, 25 Europe "The Wheel of Time." —Anonymous, 31 United states "Sense8 from Netflix. A group of eight people around the globe becomes psychically linked. It has awesome representation, and the characters and relationships feel so real." —Anonymous, Emily, Wyoming, USA "My Lady Jane." —Anonymous, 17, UK And finally, there was an overwhelming number of responses about Dead Boy Detectives, so I pulled some of the best ones: "It's lovely, the actors are phenomenal, and you can tell that it was written BY queer people FOR queer people. I get misty-eyed just thinking about a handful of scenes from that show. It nails the quintessential parts of the queer experience in its eight-episode run, namely found family/community and coming to terms with your identity, and the external shame people will try to impose on you for your choice to simply exist authentically. Beautiful in every way." —Anonymous, 28, Ohio "Dead Boy Detectives has an interesting take on internalised homophobia due to your time period (a dead Edwardian is one of the titular Dead Boys) and having to overcome it. I also love that none of the queer characters ever have to have a 'I'm gay/lesbian/etc.' moment, they just start having a relationship with someone or mention a previous one that makes you figure it out. We need more of this 'it is what it is' with no grand coming out gestures (not that they're bad, just that they don't help fight the 'straight is standard' narrative, so it's nice when they're not the be all and end all)." —Anonymous "I went into it expecting a fun supernatural show, but I walked away feeling completely changed and seen for perhaps the first time in my life! I related so much to the themes of shaking off queer repression and trauma that was forced upon you by time, family, and circumstance. It's not only one of the best LGBTQ+ shows to come out in years, but it's one of the best shows I've seen in years, overall. Amazing story, beautiful representation, a 10/10 all around. I highly recommend it, and I will never stop talking about it!" —Anonymous, 28, United States "Dead Boy Detectives is such a good one! Has great LGBTQIA+ characters and approaches heavy themes with reverence, while still maintaining levity and hope. Couldn't recommend it more!" —nikolaki "Such a good show that was canceled too soon (only one season). I'm still mad at Netflix for not giving it a fighting chance." —Anonymous Are there any other underrated queer TV shows you'd recommend? Share them in the comments!

Is Vincenzo season 2 releasing in July 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 30, 2025, 01:20 IST Last updated June 30, 2025, 01:41 IST It's been over four years since Vincenzo wrapped up its explosive first season in May 2021, and let's be honest — fans still aren't over it. The iconic South Korean drama, starring Song Joong-ki as the stylish, mafia-raised lawyer Vincenzo Cassano, left a lasting impact with its unique mix of dark humour, brutal action, and just the right dose of slow-burn romance. Since then, rumours of a second season have only gotten louder, especially with whispers suggesting a July 2025 return. So is it happening? Here's everything we know so far. Is There a Confirmed Release Date for Vincenzo Season 2? As of June 30, 2025, here's the truth: there's no official confirmation of a Vincenzo Season 2, not from Netflix, and not from South Korea's tvN network, which originally aired the show. That rumoured July 2025 release date? Looks like it's just fan speculation for now. What Might Season 2 Have in Store? No green light yet, but that doesn't stop the fandom from dreaming big. The Season 1 finale left Vincenzo as a vigilante boss, ready for new battles. Here's what's swirling in fan chats and X threads for a potential Season 2: Bigger, Badder Foes : After crushing Babel Group, Vincenzo could face a global crime syndicate or an old rival from his Italian mafia days. Think more mind-bending schemes and epic fights. Cha-young and Vincenzo's Sparks : Their flirty banter was pure fire. A new season could crank up the romance, maybe with some drama to shake things up. Geumga Plaza Chaos : The quirky tenants—piano guy, pawnshop boss, and the rest—brought the laughs. Picture them diving into fresh antics or backing Vincenzo's next mission. Secrets from Italy: Hints of Vincenzo's mafia past left fans curious. Could old enemies or allies show up to stir the pot? These are just spicy guesses, but the open-ended finale offers endless possibilities. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
