Diddy steps down as chairman of Revolt amid sexual assault lawsuits

Published

on

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the US rapper, has temporarily stepped aside from his role as chairman at Revolt, his TV network.

This was revealed in a statement via Revolt’s Instagram page on Tuesday.

The company said Diddy’s decision was to ensure that Revolt remains focused on its mission of creating meaningful content.

“Sean Combs has stepped down from his position as chairman of Revolt,” the statement reads.

“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.”

Diddy’s move comes in the wake of several lawsuits alleging sexual assault and misconduct against the rapper.

On November 17, Cassie, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, filed a suit accusing him of rape, abuse, and human trafficking during their 10-year relationship.

The lawsuit was, however, settled out of court one day after it was filed.

Shortly after, a second suit was filed, alleging that the rapper sexually assaulted a college student in 1991.

An additional lawsuit filed against Diddy by an anonymous woman, named as Jane Doe, alleged that he and Aaron Hall, a US singer, took turns in raping her and her friends sometime between 1990 and 1991.

In response, the rapper denied all allegations, calling them “fabricated”.

Diddy founded Revolt with Andy Schuon in 2013.

The network is behind shows such as ‘Love & Respect With Killer Mike’, ‘Revolt Black News’, and ‘Sneakin’ in With Druski’.

Speed Darlington gets bail after one month in detention

Published

By

Speed Darlington, the Nigerian rapper, has been granted bail after nearly a month in police custody.

The rapper was arrested on November 27 while performing at a show in Owerri, Imo state.

Deji Adeyanju, a human rights lawyer, had alleged that Burna Boy, the Afrofusion star, was responsible for the rapper’s arrest.

Darlington had taunted Burna Boy over his affiliation with the embattled US rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ who is facing multiple charges for sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

He asked Burna Boy to explain how he won the Grammy award for his album ‘Twice As Tall’ — a project executive produced by Diddy. He claimed there was a sexual relationship between the duo.

Stan Alieke, the legal representative of Darlington, earlier revealed that weeks after the rapper’s arrest, the police had denied him access to bail.

The lawyer also called on the law enforcement agency not to “trample on my client’s constitutional rights”.

But in an Instagram post on Monday, Alieke disclosed that his client had been granted bail.

“Apki has been granted bail by the court,” he wrote without including much information.
