Will Smith is not new to scandals. In fact, for the past two years, all he has had are scandals. Well, that is not entirely true- he also had a big blockbuster comeback with Bad Boys: Ride or Die and a fabled musical return. And now, with a lineup of upcoming projects that will keep him plenty busy, it is totally understandable that he would do everything he can to dodge even the tiniest whiff of controversy. And that is exactly what he did last night in San Diego.

Will Smith has publicly denied any involvement with the notorious hip-hop mogul, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, whose recent scandal has shaken Hollywood to its core.

The internet is currently overflowing with theories and speculations about the Diddy drama. And in this flood, many A-listers, including Will Smith, have been dragged. There were claims that Smith was a regular at Combs’ infamous parties. But, in the middle of his performance in San Diego, Smith shot those rumors down, saying, “I don’t have –it to do with Puffy,” as per a report from TMZ. He even called out all the meme-makers moonlighting as freelance social media detectives, telling them to “Stop all of that bull–it.” 

Smith went on to assure that he has never been part of Combs’ parties or had any dealings with the ‘Last Night’ rapper. “I ain’t been nowhere near that man,” Smith made sure to clarify. While he may have dodged a bullet by not having any association with Diddy, or so he says, it seems like his life’s plate of regrets is still pretty full. Recently, Smith opened up about one of his biggest mistakes. 

How Will Smith Got His Biggest Acting Break by Hanging Out Backstage at a Popular ‘90s Late-Night Talk Show

Will Smith had made a big “misjudgment” in his early acting days, one that still sticks with him to this day. 

Young fans might have first seen the hot-headed Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars, given that he is mostly known for his ‘nice guy’ persona. But the actor has had his fair share of beef with people he has worked with. One of those was Janet Hubert from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Recently, Smith appeared in an upcoming episode of Vice’s Black Comedy in America series, where he talked about his fallout with Hubert.

Smith admitted, “I made a horrible error and misjudgment of her value and power and beauty to the show”. He added, “I horribly underestimated what she was for me.” This was not the only fallout he had from the popular sitcom. Although Hubert patched things up back in 2020, Smith still feels the sting of that regret. But one thing he is definitely never going to regret is skipping Diddy’s parties.
