Comedian and actor Will Smith has publicly addressed claims linking him to the serious allegations made against rapper Sean ‘Diddy Combs, including a rumour that he attended one of the mogul’s freak off parties.
During a break in his sold-out show at The Observatory North Park in San Diego, the Men In Black actor took the opportunity to set things straight regarding rumours involving him and the criminal allegations surrounding Combs.
“I’ve been seeing your memes and stuff. You’ve been making memes,” Smith told the crowd in a video obtained by TMZ.
“Some of it’s funny. But I haven’t addressed any of this publicly but I just wanna say this very clearly.
“I don’t have shit to do with Puffy, so you can stop all those memes.”
Smith continued his explosive rant, shutting down rumours that he attended one of Combs’ freak off parties — which has been described as a massive sex-fest that allegedly took place in the rapper’s mansion — telling the cheering crowd, “you can stop all of that bullshit”.

“I ain’t been nowhere near no damn freak off,” he continued.
“I ain’t been nowhere near that man I ain’t done none of that stupid shit. Whatever ya’ll be hearing, if somebody say that, it’s a damn lie.
“I don’t even like baby oil.”
Smith concluded his explosive rant by stating that he usually doesn’t respond to these kinds of claims. However, linking him to the allegations made against Combs pushed him to breaking point.
“Y’all the first time. I usually don’t respond to dumbass stuff because it’s so many things. People say so much stuff. But that one — your memes was doin’ too much. Y’all was having me mad,” he said.
Smith’s response to claims surrounding his friendship with the mogul comes a week after a civil lawsuit was filed against Shawn Carter — AKA Jay-Z — and Combs, which accuses the duo of raping a 13-year-old in 2000.
Following the suit, Carter penned a candid response on his Roc Nation account, calling out the Texan-based attorney Tony Buzbee. Buzbee has filed several lawsuits which accuse Combs of rape and assault.
“Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?” Carter wrote.
“These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.
“This lawyer, who I have done a bit of research on, seems to have a pattern of these types of theatrics!”
At the time of writing, Combs is awaiting trial on charges that include racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Combs has denied all allegations made against him and is currently in prison. Ahead of his trial, Combs’ legal team filed a request for a gag order to be placed on information surrounding his sex trafficking and racketeering charges. However, Arun Subramanian rejected the request.
The rapper’s trial is set to begin on May 5, 2025.
