Will Smith has publicly rejected rumors suggesting any involvement in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged controversial parties. These gatherings, often referred to as “freak-offs,” reportedly included sexual misconduct and the use of sex workers.
While performing in San Diego, Smith paused during his set to address the issue. “The world today makes it hard to know what’s real,” he said in a TikTok video shared by TMZ. “I’ve seen the memes. Some of it’s funny, but let me be clear: I’ve got nothing to do with Puffy. Y’all can stop with those memes.”
Smith, known for staying quiet about internet chatter, said he felt compelled to respond this time. “Usually, I don’t bother with nonsense. But this? Y’all are going too far,” he explained.
The actor continued, “I’ve got my own stuff to deal with. Don’t drag me into someone else’s drama. I haven’t been near that man or any of this so-called stupidity. If you hear someone say I’m involved, it’s a lie. I don’t even like baby oil.” This last comment referred to reports that large quantities of baby oil and lubricant were found during raids on Combs’ properties earlier this year.
Smith’s remarks come amid serious allegations against other figures in the music industry. A lawsuit recently accused Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000. The lawsuit also implicated Combs. The incident allegedly occurred during a house party following the MTV Video Music Awards.
Jay-Z denied the allegations in a detailed statement, urging the filing of a criminal complaint rather than a civil one. “Anyone guilty of such a crime should face justice,” he wrote. His lawyer later sought to dismiss the case, citing inconsistencies in the accuser’s claims. “This case is baseless and motivated by money and fame,” Carter stated. “Justice will prevail.”
Meanwhile, Combs faces charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Arrested in September, he remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His requests for bail have been denied, and his trial is scheduled for May.
