Will Smith is responding to reports that he was involved in any of the troubled mogul’s alleged sex crimes or Diddy’s “freakoffs.”
Will talked about all the memes he has been seeing that put him in Diddy’s orbit during his performance in San Diego on Thursday, December 12. He was careful to make it clear that he has nothing to do with any of them.
“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 in a video obtained by TMZ. “I been seeing y’all memes and stuff. People have been making memes. I see the memes. Some of the stuff is funny. I haven’t addressed any of this publicly, but I just want to say this very clearly: I don’t have shit to do with Puffy, so y’all can stop all those memes. Y’all can stop all of that bullshit. I ain’t been nowhere near no damn freak-off. I do enough of my own shit. Don’t be putting me in other people’s shit.”
He continued: “I ain’t been nowhere near that man; I ain’t done none of that stupid shit. So whenever y’all hear that, if somebody says it, it’s a damn lie. I don’t even like baby oil. I usually don’t respond to dumb ass stuff because, like, it’s so many things. People say so much stuff, but that one, y’all memes, was doing too much. Y’all were having me mad.”
When asked about this rumor during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Diddy first stared at Kimmel with a stern expression in response to the audacious question. He then broke character and said: “Yo, this show has gotten crazier since the last time I was here… you really heard that? I don’t know what you’re talkin’ about. Jimmy, I thought we was friends.”
Deal made the allegation during an interview with The Art of Dialogue a month prior, where he recalled Puff’s alleged heated reaction after suspecting that the Men in Black star and his wife were trying to get with his partner.
“We were at a birthday party that I think Matt Damon was giving for Ben Affleck. It was just a little gathering at the Four Seasons,” he recalled. “Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Puff, Will Smith, and Jada were sitting on [one] side of the room.
“[Puff] stood up. And when he stood up, he walked and did his arms a certain kind of way, like [crossing them]. I go over towards him, and he says to me, ‘Yo, I think Will and Jada are trying to scoop up Jennifer. I want you to stay close ’cause I’m snuffing him.’”
