In a bold move, Will Smith has addressed the growing rumors surrounding his alleged involvement in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ infamous “freak parties.” The actor, who has recently performed his new track Tantrum at the Observatory North Park theater in San Diego, took a moment during his performance to set the record straight and distance himself from the disgraced music mogul.
The speculation that linked Smith to these parties, which have been embroiled in lawsuits alleging drugging and sexual assault, has made waves in Hollywood. Smith, clearly frustrated by the rumors, responded with a direct and fiery message: “I’ve seen the memes. Some of the stuff is funny. I haven’t addressed any of this publicly, but I want to say this very clearly: I don’t have anything to do with Puffy, so y’all can stop all the memes. Stop all of that bulls**t,” Smith told the crowd, as captured in a video obtained by TMZ.
This statement comes amidst ongoing legal troubles for Combs, who is currently facing multiple accusations of coercion and misconduct. In 2023, Combs was hit with accusations involving the notorious “freak-off” parties, where it is alleged that women were drugged and sexually assaulted. Law enforcement authorities reportedly found disturbing evidence, including drugs and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, during raids on Combs’ properties in Los Angeles and Miami in March 2024.
The latest legal battles for Combs have only amplified the scandal. He was arrested in September 2024 on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Further fueling the allegations, new lawsuits have surfaced involving claims of rape, with prominent names, including Jay-Z, being dragged into the controversy.
Will Smith’s clear statement, “I ain’t been anywhere near no damn freak off. I do enough of my own st, don’t be putting me in other people’s st,” has made it clear that he is not associated with the disgraced music mogul’s activities. The actor went on to emphasize, “I ain’t even like baby oil,” highlighting his complete disassociation from the rumors surrounding Combs.
As Smith continues to clarify his position, it’s clear that the scrutiny on Combs is far from over. The fallout from the lawsuits and criminal charges is likely to shape the future of the mogul’s career, but for Will Smith, it’s a chance to redefine his narrative and address misinformation head-on.
