Will Smith is letting the world know that he doesn’t have “shit to do with” Diddy amid the Bad Boy Records founder’s mounting legal problems.
In footage shared by TMZ from an event in San Diego on Thursday, Dec. 12, the Oscar-winning actor is seen addressing the crowd, more specifically in connection with Diddy-related memes he said he’s seen in recent days. As Smith explained, life in 2024 makes it “really hard” for people to pick apart the nonsense from the truth, thus spurring him to speak out.
“I’ve been seeing ya’ll memes and stuff. I’ve seen the memes,” Smith said on Thursday. “Some of that stuff is funny, some of it’s funny. I haven’t addressed any of this publicly but I just wanna say this very clearly: I don’t have shit to do with Puffy, so y’all can stop all them memes. Y’all can stop all of that bullshit.”
Smith continued, “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 bullshit. I ain’t been nowhere near that man. I ain’t did none of that stupid shit. So whenever y’all hear it, if somebody says that , t’s a damn lie. I don’t even like baby oil.”
While Smith made a point to note that he doesn’t typically respond to “dumbass stuff” of this variety, the memes in this specific scenario were doing “too much.”
Friday, Smith linked with Joyner Lucas for the new track “Tantrum.” Diddy, meanwhile, remains behind bars ahead of an expected 2025 start date for his racketeering and trafficking trial.
