Will Smith Shuts Down Claims Linking Him To 'Diddy' Combs' 'Controversial' Parties: 'Ain't Been Nowhere Near That Man'

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Will Smith has publicly addressed rumors linking him to Sean“Diddy” Combs' alleged controversial parties, which have come under scrutiny following a series of lawsuits alleging drugging and sexual assault. During a live performance at The Observatory North Park in San Diego on Thursday (December 12) the rapper and actor firmly denied any involvement, dismissing online speculation and viral memes suggesting otherwise. "Ain't been nowhere near that man," Smith declared, setting the record straight in front of his audience.

Smith, speaking directly to the crowd, dismissed the speculation. "The world we're in right now is really hard for y'all to discern what's real and what's true," he said, according to TMZ. "I been seeing y'all memes and stuff. Some of the stuff is funny. But I haven't addressed any of this publicly, and I want to say this very clear: I don't have shit to do with Puffy, so y'all can stop all the memes. Stop all of that bullshit."

Emphasizing his stance, Smith continued, "I ain't been anywhere near no damn freak off. I do enough of my own shit, don't be putting me in other people's shit. I ain't been nowhere near that man, ain't did none of that stupid shit. So whatever y'all hearing, if somebody say that, it's a damn lie. I ain't even like baby oil."

The allegations against Combs have sparked widespread discussion online, leading to memes and speculation. Smith's firm denial aims to distance himself from the ongoing controversy.
