Diddy Sells Revolt TV to Mystery Buyer for Undisclosed Amount as Federal Investigation Heats up
Diddy had stepped down as chairman of Revolt in November.
Diddy has ended his reign at Revolt TV, selling off his shares to a mystery buyer the same week that Homeland Security agents raided two of his homes, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Sources spilled the embattled Bad Boy Records founder, 54, offloaded his shares to the buyer for an undisclosed sum, adding he was notified of the sale this week.
It's unclear how much Diddy made by offloading his Revolt shares.
The company is said to remain Black-owned, but the new owner wishes their identity to stay anonymous — at least, for now.
Insiders told TMZ the new boss has a deep passion for Black culture and plans on upholding Diddy's mission for the brand. They also teased that the buyer will be announced in the coming weeks; however, the amount Diddy sold his shares for will likely remain under wraps.
The new owner reportedly won't be making any major changes to staffing or production, with the source sharing that Revolt's CEO Detavio Samuels and Chief Brand Officer Deon Graham will stay in their leadership positions.
All in all, Diddy is reportedly happy with the deal.
Diddy is at the center of a federal investigation.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Diddy temporarily stepped down from his role as chairman of Revolt in November after three women, including his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie, filed lawsuits, accusing him of sex crimes.
The insider shared that Diddy had been hammering out a potential deal for a while — allegedly before his L.A. and Miami properties were raided.
Since last year, Cassie's settled her lawsuit against Diddy, in which she accused him of rape, sex trafficking, and more. Her ex admitted to no wrongdoing despite the lightning-fast agreement.
