Will Smith Breaks Silence on Diddy Freak-Off Allegations

Veteran actor, rapper, film producer, and screenwriter Will Smith, born Willard Carroll Smith II, has finally addressed allegations linking him to controversial music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and his infamous “Freak Off” parties, where several sex crimes are alleged to have occurred.

The 56-year-old Bad Boys star denied any involvement, calling the rumors baseless and malicious. Speaking onstage at The Observatory North Park in San Diego, California, Smith opened his remarks by addressing the viral speculation.

“I’ve been seeing y’all memes and stuff,” he said, referencing the online jokes and allegations. “Some of that stuff is funny; some of it isn’t funny.”

Firmly defending his reputation, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor distanced himself from Diddy, despite their long-standing friendship of over a decade. He urged the public to stop dragging his name into the controversy.

“I just want to make this very clear: I don’t have [anything] to do with Puffy, so y’all can stop all them memes. Stop all that bulls–t. I ain’t been anywhere near no damn ‘Freak Off,’” Smith declared.

The Men in Black actor added humor to his denial, saying, “I ain’t been anywhere near that man, ain’t done none of that stupid s–t. I don’t even like baby oil.” This comment referred to the discovery of thousands of bottles of baby oil in one of Diddy’s mansions during a federal raid connected to a sex trafficking investigation.

Smith wrapped up his comments with a lighthearted jab at himself, saying, “I do enough of my own s–t. I don’t need to be in other people’s s–t.”

Despite his efforts to disassociate himself from the scandal, Smith and Diddy share a history of friendship. The two have been photographed together at numerous events over the years. In a 2004 Miami party, they were seen celebrating together, with Diddy notably eating chocolate-covered strawberries off a naked woman.
