Will Smith recently confronted online rumors that have connected him to Sean Diddy Combs, which he did during a live performance at the Observatory North Park Theater in San Diego on December 12.

While promoting his new song Tantrum, the Bad Boys actor and musician took time to speak to viral social media memes linking him to Diddy, who is facing serious legal charges.

Smith addressed the crowd between his performances, videos of which have gone viral on TikTok. He said that the misinformed memes had crossed a line and it was time for him to shut the rumors down once and for all. He humorously dismissed all claims that associated him with Diddy's wild crimes and parties.

In the clip, Smith was heard saying, "The world we're in right now, it's really hard for y'all to discern what's real and what's true, you know? I've been seeing y'all's memes and stuff. Some of that stuff's funny. I haven't addressed any of this publicly, but I just wanna say this very clearly: I don't have s--- to do with Puffy, so y'all can stop all them memes. You can stop all of that bulls---."
