Following Dave Chappelle’s Diddy Party Joke About A Family Matters Star, The Actor Shut It Down But Also Revealed What He Can ‘Appreciate’ About It

by

Discussions surrounding Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ legal issues have been a hot topic among fans and celebrities alike, with comedian Dave Chappelle being one of the most vocal about it. During his recent hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, Chappelle joked about Diddy, insinuating that even Family Matters star Reginald VelJohnson was invited to the rapper’s wild parties. However, VelJohnson has since debunked this rumor while expressing his appreciation for the humor in the joke.

What Did Dave Chappelle Say About Reginald VelJohnson During His Monologue?

Before Dave Chappelle took on his role as host for SNL‘s Season 50, it was expected that he might comment on the “Workin” artist. He certainly did not disappoint at Studio 8H, as he directly addressed the significant issues surrounding Diddy. In particular, Chappelle spoke candidly about the controversy involving the alleged weigh-ins and coercion of women to perform (recorded) sexual acts for guests at his parties, known as “freak off” events. Despite claiming he wasn’t invited, Chappelle also shared some rumors he had heard regarding these events.

Based on something I found online, I’m not certain if it’s accurate – I find it hard to believe. However, I did come across this story where a person claimed to know Puffy and said he witnessed an incident involving them both at a party. This individual stated that they saw Puff with Carl Winslow from Family Matters, allegedly dominating him. The source also shared that they were surprised not to have been invited to the event themselves.

The joke drew lots of laughter from the audience. It’s not the first time Reginald VelJohnson (the actor who portrayed Carl Winslow on Family Matters for nine seasons) has been linked to Diddy. Back in 2024, he had to deny rumors and did so again after Dave Chappelle’s comedy show. Yet, VelJohnson also provided a balanced reaction.

How Did Reginald VelJohnson React To The Comedian’s Freak Off Joke?

72-year-old Reginald VelJohnson is still recognized for his roles in “Family Matters” and “Die Hard,” using his fame from these projects to get out of traffic tickets. Last year, he showcased his Bruce Willis tribute and more on “DWTS.” In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, VelJohnson confirmed that he has no connection to Sean Combs. However, he couldn’t help but laugh at the way Dave Chappelle addressed the rumor in his stand-up act.

The information that was shared is completely untrue, yet it gets repeated occasionally. However, Dave Chappelle managed to make it amusing, which I truly value. That was quite refreshing. He presented it in a very polite manner. It was almost pleasant to hear him discuss me. I can’t help but wish he had chosen a more positive topic to talk about instead of that ridiculous lie involving Diddy. But he made it funny, and I appreciate his efforts. It gave me a good image.

From the comments, it appears that the former Hart of Dixie star is handling the comedian’s remarks calmly. However, he is still puzzled about how the ‘freak-off party’ speculations started in the beginning.

It’s a mystery to me as to why they initiated that. I’m in the dark about their reasons, and I can’t seem to shake it off. I never had the chance to meet the person. Frankly, I don’t understand what they’re discussing, so I just ignore it and carry on with my own activities. I have no idea why they associated me with that situation.

P. Diddy is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where Luigi Mangione is also detained. This Grammy-winning artist is under federal investigation for alleged sex trafficking, transporting individuals for prostitution, racketeering, arson, and additional offenses. A series of lawsuits have been filed against Diddy as well, with some accusations of sexual misconduct and abuse being connected to the term “freak offs.

As a devoted film buff, I’m keeping a close eye on the unfolding events, and it seems that Sean Combs is heading towards an uncertain future. The date set for his sex-trafficking trial is May 5th, but beyond that, the outcome remains unclear. Regarding Reginald VelJohnson, despite finding humor in Dave Chappelle’s remarks, he’s been vocal about having no personal ties to Sean Combs.
