Howard University revokes Diddy's honorary degree and returns his $1 million donation following a surveillance video showing him assaulting his ex-girlfriend. The historically Black college cites his behavior as incompatible with its values amid ongoing controversies and federal probe into allegations of sexual misconduct. Combs denies some claims.
Howard University has decided to revoke the honorary degree it granted to Sean 'Diddy' Combs in 2014 following the release of a surveillance video showing him physically assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in 2016.
The historically Black college stated that Combs' behavior is incompatible with its core values, leading to the termination of a scholarship program and the return of his $1 million donation.
This decision comes amid ongoing controversies surrounding Combs, including accusations of sexual misconduct and illegal activities. The US Department of Homeland Security has launched a federal probe into Combs, and the released surveillance video could potentially become evidence in the investigation.
Combs has not responded to all the allegations against him, but he has denied claims from many of the civil suits filed against him.
