Diddy was stripped of his honorary degree from Howard University amid a growing number of legal allegations

Diddy’s honorary degree from Howard University was revoked due to growing claims of physical and abuse against him.

The Hollywood Reporter claims that the prestigious HBCU said on Friday, June 7, that, as a result of a unanimous decision by its board of trustees, they would be rescinding the degree that they had first awarded to the troubled mogul in 2014.

Diddy attended Howard from 1987 to 1989, but he left to focus on his business, therefore he never received a diploma.

The board declared in a statement that Mr. Combs was no longer deserving of the highest distinction at Howard University because of his actions, which were caught on camera and recently made public, were “so fundamentally incompatible with Howard University’s core values and beliefs.” “The University’s opposition to all acts of interpersonal viоlence is unwavering.”

Along with ending their 2016 gift agreement, the school will return Diddy’s $1 million payment and dissolve the scholarship that had been established in his honor. They will also be terminating a pledge arrangement with the Sean Combs Foundation that was signed in 2023, just a few weeks prior to Cassie’s highly publicized lawsuit.

However, the document verified that no payments had been received toward the 2023 pledge, so there is no need to repay any money on that one.

Following the announcement that Diddy’s previous Revolt shares have been “redeemed and retired” and that the company’s staff now owns the bulk of the business, there is a degree stripping.

“Revolt is honored and proud to announce that, in an unprecedented and historic move in the Black media space, our newly projected largest shareholder group are REVOLT’s current employees,” the media network said in a social media post on Tuesday, June 4.

“We are still committed to becoming the biggest media company, driven by culture and powered by creators.”

Diddy started the business in 2013 but left his role as chairman at the end of last year after being accused of аssаult many times.

Richelieu Dennis, the founder of Shea Moisture, is rumored to have purchased Diddy’s shares, but he won’t be part of Revolt’s ownership structure.

“While Mr. Combs has previously had no operational or day-to-day role in the business, this decision helps to ensure that Revolt remаins 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,” Revolt said in a statement announcing Diddy’s departure from the company.
