Amidst three sex assault lawsuits against American rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, he has stepped aside as chairman of a TV network he co-founded.
According to Revolt’s social media, the hip-hop star had no “day-to-day role in the business”.
“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.”Revolt shared on its social media.
R&B artist Cassie accused Mr Combs of rape and abuse, but the two settled the lawsuit soon after it was filed. Then two other accusers came forward.
Diddy has further denied claims, insisting that the latest ones are for money.
Before Mr Combs temporarily stepped down, Dawn Montgomery, co-host of Revolt’s podcast Monuments to Me, announced she would not be signing on for the third season of the show.
Ms Montgomery wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “I am a SA survivor & I cannot be a part of a show that’s supposed to uplift black women while @Diddy leads the company.”
Mr Combs co-founded the music television network and website in 2013, but it remains unclear if he will return as chairman.
