Popular rapper, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has had 18 brands distance themselves in the wake of s*xual abuse allegations made against him. Recall that the businessman was recently hit by lawsuits from ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura and three other women, and fans have been reacting.
The aftermath has seen the 54-year-old rap mogul step down as chairman of Revolt, with multiple companies cutting ties with his recently-launched e-commerce platform, Empower Global.
Annette Njau, the founder of bag, apparel and eyewear company, House of Takura had this to say, “This decision was made on the day that Casandra Ventura filed her lawsuit.
We take the allegations against Mr. Combs very seriously and find such behavior abhorrent and intolerable. We believe in victims’ rights, and support victims in speaking their truth, even against the most powerful of people.”
WOW.
