Entertainment mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has stepped down from his position as chairman of Revolt TV, according to a statement released by the media company, News About Nigeria gathered.
The announcement, made via Revolt TV’s Instagram page on Tuesday, didn’t provide specific details regarding the reason for Combs’ resignation but mentioned that it was a strategic move to allow Revolt to stay focused on its mission.
“Sean Combs has stepped down from his position as chairman of Revolt. While Mr. Combs has previously had no operational or day-to-day role in the business, this decision helps to ensure that Revolt remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black people throughout this country and the African diaspora,” the statement read.
Founded by Combs in 2013 along with media executive Andy Schuon, Revolt TV is known for featuring shows that highlight hip-hop culture and Black voices in the United States.
In recent times, Combs has faced legal challenges and accusations of sexual assault.
Earlier in November, his former girlfriend Casandra Ventura launched a lawsuit alleging physical and sexual abuse throughout their ten-year relationship.
A week later, another woman, Joi Dickerson-Neal, sued Combs, claiming he drugged and raped her in 1991.
A third lawsuit was filed by an individual identified as Jane Doe, alleging sexual assault by Diddy and R&B artist Aaron Hall in the early 1990s.
Combs’ representatives have denied all allegations, describing them as ‘fabricated claims’ and attempts at a ‘money grab’.
The lawsuit with Ventura was settled less than 24 hours after it was filed.
