Diddy's Uncomfortable Response to a Rumor About Him and Will Smith Resurfaces After Arrest

An awkward exchange between Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jimmy Kimmel from 2023 has resurfaced, further playing into the rumors surrounding the music mogul's relationship with Will Smith.

Before Combs was arrested, multiple reports began to surface about his alleged behavior. Kimmel addressed one wild rumor during his and Combs's interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

In November 2023, an X (formerly Twitter) user reposted an interview in which Combs addressed a rumor about Will Smith allegedly threatening him over a supposed threesome with Jennifer Lopez and Jada Pinkett Smith.

"I saw a guy on the internet the other day, he said he used to be your security guard, who said that when you were dating J.Lo, Will Smith and Jada tried to pick her up on a threesome and you were going to beat up Will Smith," the comedian said, adding, "Is that true?"

Combs reacts by making a stern face in Kimmel's direction before swiftly dismissing the rumor.

"This show has gotten crazier since the last time [I was here]," he jokes as the audience laughs.

While Combs's words showed that he was unbothered by Kimmel's question, those watching the clip on X noticed the producer's body language immediately changed as he responded to the rumor. In addition to him glaring at Kimmel for asking the question, some saw him holding onto his chair for dear life and moving back and fidgeting his chair as he attempted to brush off the rumor.

Less than a year after his and Kimmel's interview, Combs was arrested and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. His former bodyguard, Deal, has been vocal about Combs's alleged violence in recent years, though he's no longer working for the mogul. In September 2024, a woman named Thalia Graves filed a lawsuit against Combs and his current bodyguard, Joseph Sherman, accusing them both of rape.
