Diddy Defends Revolt CEO Of The Amid Racism Allegations From A Former Employee

Diddy Is Defending The CEO Of Revolt After Racism Allegations
It looks like Diddy is standing by the CEO of his Revolt television network, Roma Khanna, even after claims of racist behavior by a former staff member.


According to a letter sent to the Revolt board by the ex-employee–who is a self-proclaimed “young, educated black woman”–Khanna openly admitted that black women intimidate her.

Beyond that, the former employee also alleges that the CEO responded to the idea of Meek Mill speaking on prison reform with a racist comment, claiming that she said, “Maybe the conversation isn’t about prison reform, maybe it’s about how to stay out of jail, black boy.”


The letter was obtained by the New York Post, and also claims that Khanna laid off 30 percent of the Revolt staff for restructuring–99 percent of which were African-American.

Diddy came in to defend the CEO, and said the following to TMZ :
“This story is inaccurate. We are a Black owned and operated network and we have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination of any kind. Revolt is led by a woman of color who is expected to uphold the same standards that I hold for all of my companies.


After an extensive review led by outside counsel there were no findings of deliberate misconduct. At this time, Roma Khanna will remain as CEO of REVOLT.”


He also added: “Regarding the recent restructure, Revolt’s diversity remains unchanged. We are 67% ethnically diverse, with more than 60% of the senior leadership being women. Any suggestion that any company of mine negatively targets African Americans is absurd and offensive.”

American Hiphop Star, Diddy Commends Nigerian Rapper, Falz Over New Video

Sean Combs aka Diddy, has hailed Folarin ‘Falz’ Falana over his new single, ‘This is Nigeria’, a cover of Childish Gambino’s ‘This is America’.

Mirroring the concept used by the American musician/filmmaker born Donald Glover, Falz, who’s also a multi-faceted entertainer, used his song to address a number of societal issues in Nigeria.

The video which was released late on Friday was received with widespread acclaim, and criticism from some quarters, largely due to the topical issues highlighted in it.

Reacting to the video which has since gone viral, Diddy, owner of Revolt TV and Bad Boy Records, posted a short clip on his Instagram page.

While acknowledging the Nigerian rapper/comic-actor, he wrote: “#Nigeria LETS GO!”
‘This is Nigeria’ was produced by Wande Thomas and the video was directed by Prodigeezy.

On the song, Falz raps about the menace of Fulani herdsmen, codeine epidemic among Nigerian youth, the much-panned special anti-robbery squad (SARS), internet fraud also known as ‘yahoo yahoo’, the Chibok and Dapchi schoolgirls abduction.

Diddy Responds to Allegations that Biggie Smalls Played a Part in Tupac Shakur's Death (Must Read)

Diddy has opened up about the death of his dear friend Biggie and how Tupac's shooting death impacted the hip-hop community.

In a new interview with Willie Geist for Sunday TODAY,  the music mogul revealed that when Tupac died on September 13, 1996 (only six months prior to Biggie's own passing), "it really resonated that things are really dangerous.

"There were allegations that Biggie  played a part in Tupac's murder, but he denied such claims and the Wallace family has provided an alleged alibi. The late rappers publicly feuded for years, but Diddy says he didn't pay much attention to their bad blood."There were so many rumors and things for years that I was more concerned with the well being of my artists, myself and myfamily," he explained.On March 9, 1997, an unidentified assailant shot and killed Biggie in Los Angeles.

How would the rap game have changed if Biggie were still alive today? Diddy told Geist that he thinks about it all the time."What direction would rap go into?" Diddy asked rhetorically, also mentioning that heoften wonders, "How would this concert be if he was here?"A lot of questions swirl around Diddy's mind but one thing is for sure: "It's incomplete without him being there."
