Will Smith responds after being accused of being involved in Diddy's 'freak off' parties
Will Smith has addressed claims that he was involved in one of Diddy's alleged 'freak off' parties to a crowd of fans while performing in the US.
While taking to the stage at The Observatory North Park in San Diego, the 56-year-old decided to take the opportunity to clarify rumours suggesting that he had attended them.
Celebrities with any kind of connection to Diddy have been going out of their way to distance themselves from the rapper since his bombshell arrest in September.
He has been accused of using his 'power and prestige' to drug sex workers during 'freak offs' at his lavish parties and is currently awaiting trial.

The 55-year-old, real name Sean John Combs, is set to get his day in court in May 2025 to address the allegations made by more than 120 accusers.
Currently, he is being held on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution - all of which he has vehemently denied.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty but will be spending Christmas behind bars as his three applications to be released on bail have all been denied, according to ABC 7.
Earlier this week, rapper Jay Z was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl allegedly alongside Diddy at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000.
Both musicians have denied the claim, while Jay Z dubbed it a 'blackmail attempt' in a statement directed at Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee.
It seems Will Smith is keen to keep his name out of the controversy if his comments to the crowd at his show on Thursday (12 December) are anything to go by.
He appeared to be taking a leaf out of 50 Cent's book as he rubbished claims that he was a guest at one of Puffy's parties.
Fans have been sharing footage on social media of the Men in Black star speaking out about the claims levied against Diddy and his alleged attendance at 'freak offs' over the years.
Smith said: "The world we’re in right now is really hard for y’all to discern what’s real and what’s true.
"I've been seeing y’all memes and stuff, you’ve been making memes. I’ve seen the memes.
"Some of that stuff is funny, some of it's funny."
The 'Miami' rapper then revealed why he has so far been silent about the scandal.
Smith continued: "I haven’t addressed any of this publicly, but I want to say this very clearly: I don’t have s**t to do with Puffy, so y’all can stop all the memes. Stop all of that bulls**t.
"I ain’t been anywhere near no damn freak off. I do enough of my own s**t, don’t be putting me in other people’s s**t.
"I ain’t been nowhere near that man, ain’t did none of that stupid s**t. So whatever y’all hearing, if somebody say that, it’s a damn lie."
The father-of-three then wrapped up his impromptu speech by referring to the 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lube which prosecutors claimed were found in Diddy's mansion.
Smith added: "I ain’t even like baby oil!"
Diddy is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
