Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has spoken out about rumors suggesting that he was prepared to fight Will Smith over a rumored proposition for a threesome involving Jada Pinkett Smith and his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez.
At 53 years old, the Hip Pop Mogul appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday to promote his new album, The Love Album, and found himself addressing the lingering rumor.
There had been speculation that Smith, aged 55, and his wife Jada, 52, allegedly approached the 54-year-old Let’s Get Loud singer for a threesome. Diddy and Lopez dated from 1999 to 2001.
Interrupting Diddy’s discussion about his Love album, Kimmel said, “Speaking of love, 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 for a threesome and you were gonna beat up Will Smith. Is that true?”
There was a long pause as Diddy looked at Kimmel in disbelief over the question, before responding, ‘Yo, this show has gotten crazier since the last time I was here. No.’
Responding to Kimmel, who seemed to further confuse the record producer, Diddy asked, ‘You really heard that?’ regarding the rumor about him and Lopez, who famously donned a plunging Versace gown when she dated the Harlem-born hip-hop star.
‘Yeah, yeah, I watched it on the internet. You’re telling me I can’t believe everything I read?’ Kimmel said.
‘I don’t know what you’re talking about,’ Diddy replied, adding, ‘Jimmy, I thought we was friends. Where did this interview just go?’
