LOS ANGELES, CA - OCTOBER 30: Sean Combs is seen on October 30, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

Family Matters alum Reginald VelJohnson doesn't find it funny that his name has been brought up in connection with Sean "Diddy" Combs' sexcapades.

Earlier this year, on an episode of podcast Drinx With Jinx, comedian Luce Cannon alleged that he once witnessed VelJohnson and Diddy having intercourse.

"When Diddy fucked Carl Winslow, we was at the party. And you know, we just chilling and shit," Cannon said in the clip below. "Everybody know me. I'm a goofy n***a, I'm funny and stuff like that. So, I hear a n***a just wearing out some shit ... I'm like, 'Who's wearing this bitch out?' N***a, I kicked in the door. Boom! Kick in the door, n***a, I seen Carl Winslow put his head up."

The discussion was later referenced by Charlamagne Tha God on podcast Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant with Akaash Singh (per The Art of Dialogue), where he claimed that his former mentor, Wendy Williams, thought Diddy was gay.

But just over a week after Diddy was arrested in New York and charged with trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for purposes of prostitution, TMZ asked VelJohnson about the rumors directly. The actor, who's currently competing on Dancing With the Stars, was leaving rehearsals on Wednesday (Sept. 25).

"That's all bullshit," the 72-year-old said. "I don't know that man. I wish him well, though." The actor then urged those feeding into the rumor to "get a life."

But Diddy's alleged sexual encounters are a huge reason why the Bad Boy Records founder is currently in jail awaiting trial after a 14-page indictment alleged that he "abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct." Among the allegations are Diddy-hosted "Freak Offs," or sex sessions where victims were coerced into taking drugs and being involved in "elaborate and produced sex performances."
