Will Smith, aka Mr. “Keep My Name Out Your Mouth,” has officially entered the chat, and he’s not here for the tea being spilled about Sean “Diddy” Combs and his alleged freak-off escapades.
In case you missed it, back in September, Diddy, the 55-year-old hip-hop mogul, found himself in legal hot water with some truly wild accusations: sex trafficking, racketeering, and, wait for it, “transportation to engage in prostitution.” (Sounds like a Law & Order: SVU spin-off nobody asked for.) Naturally, because Will and Diddy have been buddy-buddy over the years, the internet did what the internet does best—jumped to conclusions, created memes, and probably Photoshopped Will into some shady situations. Classic.
But fear not! The Fresh Prince himself is here to clear his name with all the flair and sass we didn’t know we needed. During a performance at The Observatory North Park in San Diego (because apparently, Will Smith does comedy now?), he addressed the rumors head-on.
“The world we’re in right now, it’s really hard for y’all to know what’s real and what’s true,” Will began, channeling his inner philosopher. “I’ve been seeing y’all memes. I see the memes. Some of that stuff is funny, I’ll give you that.”
Then came the knockout punch: “I just wanna say this very clearly: I don’t have s–t to do with Puffy. So y’all can stop all them memes.” Boom. Message received.
Will wasn’t about to leave without sprinkling in a little comedic gold. “Stop all of that bulls–t. I ain’t been nowhere near no damn ‘freak off.’ Listen, I do enough of my own s–t. Don’t be putting me in other people’s bulls–t.”
And just when you thought he was done, Will hit us with the grand finale, referencing the 1,000 bottles of baby oil allegedly found in Diddy’s home raids earlier this year. (Yes, 1,000 bottles. How much moisturizing does one man need?)
“I don’t even like baby oil,” Will quipped, clearly winning the night.
Now, this isn’t the first time Diddy’s legal drama has had celebrities running for cover. Jay-Z recently came out swinging with his own denial after being dragged into a separate lawsuit. It seems like everyone’s playing a game of “Not It” when it comes to Diddy’s alleged shenanigans.
As for Will? He’s leaving no room for doubt: The only “freak off” he’s involved in is probably binge-watching Cobra Kai or figuring out what TikTok trend to try next. Case closed.
Moral of the story? Don’t believe everything you read online—especially when baby oil is involved.
#WillSmith is telling fans he's got no #Diddy dirty laundry … because he's never been tight with the disgraced rap mogul. Full story here: https://t.co/pW6O90eJ7M pic.twitter.com/paVvPSPgi2
