Read moreHoward University announced on Friday that it would revoke Sean “Diddy” Combs’ honorary degree, originally conferred in 2014, in light of recent revelations concerning the disgraced rapper and music mogul. The university’s board of trustees unanimously voted to rescind the degree following the release of a 2016 video showing Combs attacking his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. “Mr. Combs’ behavior as captured in a recently released video is so fundamentally incompatible with Howard University’s core values and beliefs that he is deemed no longer worthy to hold the institution’s highest honor,” the board’s statement read. “The University is unwavering in its opposition to all acts of interpersonal violence.”
The disturbing video, which surfaced last month, depicts Combs running out of a hotel room in a towel and chasing Ventura toward the elevator. He is seen grabbing her by the neck, throwing her to the floor, kicking, shoving, and dragging her by her sweatshirt. Later, he returns to kick her again and throws an object from a nearby table at her. In addition to revoking his honorary degree, Howard University has also terminated a 2016 gift agreement with Combs, disbanding the scholarship established in his name, returning his $1 million contribution, and canceling a 2023 pledge agreement with the Sean Combs Foundation. The statement clarified that no payments had been made toward the 2023 pledge, so no funds needed to be returned. Combs attended Howard from 1987 to 1989.
Following the video’s release, Combs issued an apology via Instagram. “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” he said. “I was fucked up — I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.” Combs and Ventura were romantically involved for over a decade. Last November, she accused him of repeated rape and physical abuse throughout their relationship. The lawsuit, which also implicated Combs’ label, Bad Boy Records, and Sony Music, alleged that Ventura was “trapped by Mr. Combs in a cycle of abuse, violence and sex trafficking.” Though the case was settled shortly after filing, Combs faces multiple new lawsuits this year, accusing him of rape, sexual assault, and sex trafficking, which he denies. In March, his homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided by Homeland Security.
