Howard University’s Board of Trustees busted out the big red pen and put an end to the whole “Diddy Degree” situation, voting unanimously to snatch back the honorary degree they so generously bestowed upon Sean “Diddy” Combs back in 2014. Talk about a grade reversal!
Not stopping at just revoking his academic street cred, they’re even asking for their cash back, like they’re returning a pair of designer jeans that turned out to be knockoffs from a shady online store. Yup, that’s right, they want their cool million back, and they’re not shy about it.
In a statement that probably had Diddy doing a double-take while sipping on his morning espresso, the Board threw some serious shade, saying Diddy’s recent antics are about as welcome as a skunk at a garden party. They even threw in the term “fundamentally incompatible,” which sounds like a phrase straight out of a highbrow philosophical debate, but really, they’re just saying, “You’re not our cup of tea anymore, buddy.”
Remember that grainy surveillance footage from 2016 that made TMZ’s day? Yeah, that one where Diddy apparently decided to try his hand at some less-than-chivalrous behavior with his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura? Well, turns out, Howard University wasn’t exactly thrilled about being associated with that kind of drama.
And it doesn’t stop there! Howard University is pulling out all the stops. They’re scrubbing Diddy’s name off their scholarship program faster than you can say “bye, Felicia!” They’re all about promoting a violence-free campus, and having Diddy’s name hanging around like a bad smell just didn’t jive with their vibe.
But wait, there’s more! Diddy’s been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately. He’s been playing a game of legal whack-a-mole, with lawsuits popping up left and right. From allegations of abuse and rape to claims of sexual misconduct, it’s been a wild ride. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier, the Department of Homeland Security decided to crash the party with their own investigation into allegations of sex trafficking. Talk about taking things up a notch!
Now, while Diddy might be selling off chunks of his media empire like it’s going out of style, the feds are circling like sharks in the water, sniffing around for any whiff of wrongdoing. Money laundering? Check. Illegal drugs? Double check. It’s like a laundry list of white-collar crime, and Diddy’s right in the middle of it.
So, as Diddy tries to navigate these murky legal waters, one thing’s for sure: Howard University isn’t interested in being along for the ride. They’ve officially cut ties faster than you can say “It’s all about the Benjamins.” Ouch, that’s gotta sting!
