Will Smith has officially shut down swirling rumors about his alleged involvement in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ controversial “freak-offs” or any of the embattled mogul’s alleged misconduct.
Taking the stage in San Diego on Thursday night (December 12), the Hollywood icon made it crystal clear that he’s had nothing to do with the viral chatter placing him near Diddy’s drama.
In a candid moment captured on video by TMZ, Will addressed the wave of memes and speculation. “The world we’re in right now, it’s really hard for y’all to discern what’s real and what’s true,” he said.
“I been seeing y’all memes and stuff. People been making memes. I see the memes. Some of the stuff is funny. I haven’t addressed any of this publicly, but I just wanna say this very clearly – I don’t got sh*t to do with Puffy. So y’all can stop all them memes.
“Y’all can stop all of that bullsh*t. I ain’t been nowhere near no damn freak-off. I do enough of my own sh*t. Don’t be putting me in other people’s sh*t.”
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star didn’t hold back as he expressed his frustration with the outlandish rumors, ensuring fans and followers that he’s staying far away from the chaos.
“I ain’t been nowhere near that man, ain’t did none of that stupid sh*t,” he added. “So whenever y’all hear that, if somebody say it, it’s a damn lie. I don’t even like baby oil. I usually don’t respond to dumb-ass stuff because there’s so much out there, but that one? Y’all memes was doing too much. Y’all was having me mad.”
Will’s response comes amid a firestorm of allegations surrounding Diddy, who’s facing accusations of misconduct that have dominated headlines recently. Though the memes may have added fuel to the fire, Smith’s message was loud and clear: Keep his name out of it.
With his signature humor and straightforwardness, the superstar set the record straight while also poking fun at the absurdity of the situation. One thing’s for sure, Will Smith has no time for baseless drama.
