Embattled Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, is an American rapper and music mogul who has stepped down as chairman of the television business Revolt TV.

The firm justified the move on its Instagram page on Tuesday, saying it was important to allow Revolt to focus on its goal.

According to the statement: “Sean Combs has stepped down from his position as chairman of Revolt. While Mr Combs has previously had no operational role in the business, this decision helps to ensure that Revolt remains 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 was created in 2013 by Diddy and media producer Andy Schuon with the goal of highlighting hip-hop culture and Black voices in the United States.

Combs has recently been involved in multiple lawsuits and sexual assault claims.

Casandra Ventura, his ex-girlfriend, had sued him earlier in November for physical and sexual abuse during their decade-long relationship.

Joi Dickerson-Neal sued the rapper a week after the initial action, saying he drugged and raped her in 1991.

A third action was filed by a plaintiff merely named as Jane Doe, who alleged that Diddy and R&B musician Aaron Hall took turns sexually abusing her and other women in the early 1990s at the singer’s residence.

Diddy has disputed all of the charges, calling them “fabricated claims” and “money grabs.”
