Diddy reportedly sells off all his Revolt TV shares to anonymous buyer amidst home raids

Published

One day after Homeland Security descended upon his residences in Los Angeles and Miami, Diddy has reportedly relinquished his Revolt TV shares.

Alongside co-founder and entertainment mogul Andy Schuon, Revolt was launched on Oct. 21, 2013, and over ten years later, the multimedia business will remain Black-owned, albeit under a new owner. According to TMZ, Diddy sold off his entire shares to an anonymous buyer who’s opted not to have their identity revealed just yet.

A “formal introduction” will reportedly be made “in the coming weeks,” just three months after Diddy stepped down as Revolt chairman. Apparently, the sale was intended to happen since Diddy’s departure. Revolt CEO Detavio Samuels and Chief Brand Officer Deon Graham will continue with the network under its new ownership, while there will be no changes within the staff and production employees.

Programs and podcasts on Revolt include Caresha Please, Drink Champs, Funny AF Black Girl Stuff and others, but currently, there’s no further information about whether the shows will move forward on the platform.

Diddy stepped down from the company amid his numerous sexual assault lawsuits, namely, one that was issued and later settled with his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura. On Monday, the raids on his aforementioned Miami and Los Angeles properties took place, with his two sons, Justin and Christian Combs, being handcuffed at the L.A. estate, as Diddy was reportedly in Florida.

Rahman Dukes, who helped launch Revolt TV and was the former VP of News and Programming, appeared on CNN to share his perspective on the raids. Dukes was also asked if he saw any of Diddy’s alleged behavior while working with him.

“It was a complete shock,” Dukes said. “Around my time around Sean, he kept a nice atmosphere around him. They love to party. They love feeling good. They love good vibes, good energy. I myself have not personally seen it. But it is an environment. It is apart of what comes with our culture. Justice is definitely deserving to anyone that has been victimized but I myself haven’t seen none of this at all.”

Dukes also commented on 50 Cent getting involved with the Diddy headlines through social media.

“Hip-hop is competitive,” Dukes said. “The big dogs clash at the top. 50 and Puff had a relationship, a musical relationship. Friends. Along the lines, it tends to get competitive. Your music, your net worth, etc. This is where we come from. I know deep down in his heart that 50 doesn’t want anyone to go to jail.”

In addition, alleged “drug mule” Brendan Paul was arrested at Miami-Opa Locka Airport on the charges of cocaine and marijuana possession. Diddy’s private jet, LoveAir LLC, was stationed in Antigua on Monday.

Colman Domingo‘s 2024 Met Gala look pays tribute to two fallen stars.
The Euphoria actor shared that he chose to wear a white cape to walk the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps in New York City May 6 in honor of two late Black icons, journalist André Leon Tally and Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman. (See all the stars who stepped out for the 2024 Met Gala here.)
“They both wore capes when they were at the Met,” Colman exclusively told Live From E!. “Everything I do, I feel like it’s gotta be for the culture. It’s gotta be more than just for me.”
Noting that he’s making his debut at this year’s ball, the Rustin star went on to explain, “I wanted to honor these brothers who were here before me as well.” (For more from Colman, tune into Live From E! at 6 p.m.)
But a white cape wasn’t the only eye-catching part of Colman’s ‘fit, which kept with the event’s “Garden of Time” theme. The 54-year-old also paired his over-sized, white-and-black Willy Chavarria suit with diamond earrings and some silver statement rings, as well as a bouquet of white flowers wrapped in a black satin cloth.
And Colman didn’t only attend fashion’s biggest night to stunt for the cameras. The Emmy winner also expressed excitement over going inside the museum and meeting his tablemates Cardi B and Erykah Badu.
“I’ve never met Cardi B and I’m really gagging,” Colman said. “I think I might just expire right there at the table.”

Tina Knowles Shares Rare Update on Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Twins Rumi and Sir

Tina Knowles shared how proud she is of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s 6-year-old twins Rumi and Sir in an exclusive interview with E! News.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s twins are ready to run the world, according to their grandmother.
In fact, Tina Knowles believes the 6-year-olds have already found their true passions, with Rumi focusing on art and fashion.
“Rumi is amazing—an amazing artist, painter and creator,” Tina gushed to E! News’ Francesca Amiker during the Kentucky Derby. “How could they be anything else growing up in that environment? All we talk about is creativity and fashion.”
While Sir is much more reserved than his sisters, including 12-year-old Blue Ivy, the House of Deréon designer described him as “very, very smart.”
“Sir is very quiet,” Tina noted, adding that her grandson “does all of the numbers stuff, so he’s not into fashion as much.”
And the twins are already well on their way to success. After all, Rumi recently made history as the youngest woman to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 for her feature on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter track “Protector.” The impressive feat broke the previous record held by her sister Blue, who was featured on “Brown Skin Girl” in 2019 when she was just 7 years old.
So, what does Tina think of Beyoncé and Rumi’s venture into country music?
“We’re from Texas,” she said. “We’ve been part of that culture for a long time and I was very excited about it.”
Calling Cowboy Carter a “nice history lesson” for fans,” Tina added of Beyoncé, “She has this way of doing things subtly but educating, and so I’m really proud of that.”

After Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor debuted a gorgeous engagement ring at the 2024 Met Gala May 6, E! News can confirm she’s set to tie the knot with producer Cameron Fuller.
You’ll burn for this news: Phoebe Dynevor is engaged.
The Bridgerton alum is set to tie the knot with producer Cameron Fuller, E! News can confirm. In fact, Phoebe—who first sparked romance rumors with Cameron in early 2023—debuted her gorgeous engagement ring on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet May 6. (See every star at the gala.)
While Phoebe, 29, and Cameron, 28, have maintained a low profile throughout their relationship, they did make a rare public appearance together at the Wimbledon tennis tournament in July 2023.
Months later, in February, Cameron—the son of A Quiet Place producer Brad Fuller—was by Phoebe’s side at the 2024 BAFTAs in London.
And although she had her diamond accessory on hand at the 2024 Met Gala, Phoebe had a different date with her on the red carpet: makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury. Plus, it was an extra special night for the Fair Play star, as she became the first person to wear Victoria Beckham’s line to the star-studded event.
“It’s her first custom look,” Phoebe said on Live From E!, “so I’m thrilled to be wearing it.”
“We started with fabrics,” the English actress continued, noting they wanted something “fragile” to go along with the Costume Institute’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibition. “Something elegant and beautiful that fits in with this beautiful theme. So, I think we did well.”
As Victoria noted on Instagram, the gown’s silhouette was hand-crafted from archival lace.
“And embellished with over 300 lace appliqué flowers,” she shared, “hand-cut and hand-sewn onto a tulle base.”
As for how Phoebe was feeling on the milestone night?
“It’s so crazy and surreal,” she said on Live From E!. “I’m trying to just be present in this moment right now but it’s very hard.”
