Will Smith Vehemently Denies Diddy Affiliation: “I Ain’t Did None Of That Stupid Sh*t”

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal drama over the last year and change has snowballed into a massive ordeal. As a result, many celebrities’ names have been entered into the conversation as people attempt to connect the Bad Boy founder’s behavior with other prominent people in the entertainment world. One superstar who caught wind of these rumors is Will Smith, who recently vehemently shut them down once and for all.

During a show at The Observatory North Park in San Diego on Thursday (Dec. 12), the Pursuit Of Happyness actor took the stage and went off into a rant about Diddy and how he doesn’t wish to be affiliated with the current allegations and turmoil. “I been seeing y’all memes and stuff,” he said. “Some of that stuff is funny but y’all can stop all of that bullsh*t. I ain’t been nowhere near no damn freak off… I ain’t been no where near that man. I ain’t did none of that stupid sh*t. So, whenever y’all hear somebody say that, it’s a damn lie.”

He couldn’t help but throw in a quick jab, adding with a laugh, “I don’t even like baby oil.” Watch below.

Smith also acknowledged that he tries to ignore negativity, but felt the need to address this situation in particular because of its severity. “I usually don’t respond to dumba** stuff. People say so much stuff, but that one, the memes was doing too much. I don’t have s**t to do with Puffy, so y’all can stop all the memes,” he stated again.

The 56-year-old actor is far from the only celebrity who netizens have tried to link with Diddy. Since his arrest, people have been looking back at photos from his infamous, lavish parties from decades ago and pointing out who they have spotted.

On Sept. 16, 2024, the Love Album creator was arrested in NYC and charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. Disturbing details from the court documents accused Diddy of using his companies to fund and facilitate “Freak Offs,” where he’d allegedly drug his victims and put them in sexually abusive situations. He is currently being held at the MDC Brooklyn and awaiting trial.
