Diddy sells Revolt TV stake to anonymous buyer amid home raids

Published

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the US rapper, has reportedly sold off his stake in Revolt, his TV network.

Diddy founded Revolt in 2013 alongside Andy Schuon. The company was established to promote black culture including songs from up-and-coming artistes.

In the wake of the myriad of sexual assault allegations against him in November 2023, Diddy stepped down from his role as chairman of the company.

According to TMZ, Diddy has sold his remaining shares of Revolt to an anonymous buyer.

Although the deal’s financial terms were not revealed, the report added that the company will remain black-owned.

It was gathered Revolt TV’s new owners want their identity hidden for the next few weeks until a formal announcement at a later date.

IDetavio Samuels, Revolt’s CEO, and Deon Graham, the chief brand officer, it was gathered, will retain their positions until the deal is finalised, while there will not be too many changes to other offices.

The development comes at about the same time when the federal agent raided two properties linked to the rapper.

Brendon Paul, the man who is suspected to be a drug mule for the rapper, was also arrested for alleged possession of cocaine and marijuana.

Last November, several women, including Cassie, the rapper’s ex-girlfriend, took Diddy to court, claiming they were sexually assaulted.

Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, Diddy’s former producer, also filed a lawsuit alleging that the rapper sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him for over a year.

Doris Simeon, the Nollywood actress, has revealed why she relocated to the United States.

Simeon, who was popular in the Yoruba film industry in the early 2000s, spoke about her relocation in an interview with Kunle Afod, her colleague.

The actress revealed she left Nigeria in 2018 so she could be closer to her child.

“As many people know, my child and his father reside in America, and that’s one of the reasons I decided to relocate here,” she said.

“I left Nigeria in 2018 and I have not returned since then. I miss Nigeria a lot. The things I miss most especially are the roadside food vendors. Things like roasted yam, roasted corn, food that they hawk.

“I miss my family and friends and I also miss being on set, especially when I see actors and actresses sharing behind-the-scenes moments on their social media platforms.”

Doris was a newscaster after which she delved into acting in the early 2000s.

The toxicology test carried out on Mohbad, the late singer, to determine the actual cause of his death has been concluded.

Born Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, Mohbad died under mysterious circumstances on September 12 and was buried the next day.

On September 21, the body of the artiste was exhumed. An autopsy was carried out that same day after which the police announced that they were awaiting the results.

The toxicology test was conducted in the United States.

According to PUNCH, the final test results were sent to the state DNA and Forensic Centre last week and were handed over to the police.

The report is also said to have been forwarded to the medical pathologist who carried out the autopsy for analysis and interpretation.

The Lagos state government had called for a coroner’s inquest to determine the cause of Mohbad’s death following public outcry.

Testifying at the coroner’s inquest in March, Richard Somiari, the director of Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, said the autopsy result on Mohbad would be ready in less than a month.

However, Monisola Odumosu, head of the family’s legal counsel, said they would apply to the state high court to conduct a separate autopsy and toxicology test.

The lawyer said the family of Mohbad was worried about the process by which the autopsy was conducted.

Odumosu further claimed that no medical expert represented the family at the point the autopsy was done.
