Sean “Diddy” Combs, known for his success in the music industry as a rapper, producer, and entrepreneur, made a major foray into the world of television and media when he founded Revolt TV in 2013. The network, which focuses on music and entertainment news, quickly made a name for itself as a platform for up-and-coming artists and a voice for the hip-hop community.
Diddy’s motivation for starting Revolt was to create a space where artists could have more control over their own narratives and where their voices could be heard. He saw a gap in the market for a network that catered specifically to the urban music and culture scene, and he set out to fill that void with Revolt.

The network launched with a bang, featuring live performances, interviews, and original content that showcased the best of hip-hop and R&B. Diddy’s industry connections and reputation helped to attract top talent to the network, and Revolt quickly gained a following among music fans and industry insiders alike.
Shockingly, after receiving multiple sexual assault lawsuits the mogul has sold his shares in the company to an anonymous buyer, according to TMZ. The news outlet also reported that the network will remain black owned, but we’re not sure who is the owner as of right now.
As we previously reported, shocking news hit the internet when federal agents raided Diddy’s home which led to his son’s being placed in handcuffs on national television. Diddy was not present for the raids that took place at his Los Angeles and Miami home, but he was later spotted at an airport pacing back and forth hours after the raid.
One day after the raid, Diddy’s lawyer responded to the raids and expressed that his client is “innocent” and the whole entire investigation is a “witch hunt.”

In a statement released to TMZ, The hip-hop mogul’s attorney, Aaron Dyer stated the following: “Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.”
“Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.”
“This unprecedented ambush — paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence — leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.”
“There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”
