As Sean Combs ‘Diddy’ faces a list of sexual abuse lawsuits and steps aside from his leadership role at Revolt, more peril is mounting with over a dozen companies distancing themselves from his recently launched e-commerce platform Empower Global.
Currently, a total of 18 brands have confirmed to Rolling Stone that they have severed ties with the online marketplace for Black-owned businesses after another accusation was tabled from a R&B singer, Cassandra Ventura amongst three others.
It is confirmed that a number of the exiting brands have already been wiped from the site.
Other brands now heading for the exits say their decision was influenced by both the disturbing allegations against Combs and the platform’s allegedly lackluster performance.
“We had a relationship with Empower Global from its earlier days because I was previously connected with the founder who sold the Nile List,” Rebecca Allen, founder of the eponymous high-end footwear company says.
