Back in April, comedian Luce Cannon said he once attended one of Diddy's parties and saw the Bad Boy founder having intercourse with Reginald VelJohnson, who played Carl Winslow on the '90s sitcom Family Matters.

VelJohnson is currently on Dancing with the Stars , so TMZ caught up with him after rehearsals to ask him about the rumor. "That’s all bulls**t," he said. "I don’t know that man. I never met him before. I wish him well, though.”

Then when the actor was asked what he had to say to those perpetuating the rumor, he told them to "Get a life."

Diddy's alleged sex parties, called "freak-offs," have been a major topic of discussion ever since he was arrested in New York on September 16 for sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting sex workers. During a press conference, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said the 54-year-old would distribute drugs like GHB and ecstasy at the parties to keep guests compliant.

Diddy pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his lawyer Marc Agnifilo said he plans to take the stand during trial. “I don’t know that I could keep him off the stand,” Agnifilo said in an upcoming TMZ documentary called The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment. “I think he is very eager to tell his story. I think he will tell every part of his story, including what you see on the video.”

It seems that Agnifilo was referring to the 2016 video of Diddy beating his ex Cassie, which surfaced in May. According to what Agnifilo told a judge, Diddy's violent outburst was a response to Cassie hitting him with a cell phone after learning he was cheating on her — as if that justified his behavior.

Agnifilo also claimed Cassie cheated on Diddy with her now-husband Alex Fine, an exercise trainer that Diddy hired for her when they were together. As for VelJohnson, his denial may either end the rumor about him being with Diddy, or it might get people talking even more. Time will tell.
