A few weeks ago, CNN revealed images of the American artist Sean Combs, better known as ‘Diddy’, hitting his ex-partnermodel Cassie Ventura.
The images corresponded to a security video from the InterContinental hotel in Los Angeles in 2016, where the singer is seen leaving his room furiously looking, at that time, for his partner, who was running through the hallways of the place.

As revealed by the images, the artist stops when he finds the model, whom he takes aggressively of the neck and throws her towards the ground, where she remains motionless for a few seconds, and then kicks her in the legs.
Later, the artist takes her shirt and drag down the hotel hallway.
After the images were revealed, the artist apologized for his actions, in a video published on his social networks. While the model, she indicated through a publication, her gratitude to all the people who supported her and indicated her current status after suffering the attack in 2016.
However, after the video and the rapper’s actions were publicly shown to his ex-partner, last Friday, June 7, La Howard University, in the United States, announced through a statement that revokes the honorary title that was awarded to Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2014.
In addition to this, it is indicated that a scholarship program named after the rapper was suspended and? a donation of 1 million dollars was returned that “Diddy” made to the school.
“Mr. Combs’s behavior… is so fundamentally inconsistent with the core values and beliefs of Howard University that he is no longer considered worthy of holding the highest honor of the institution,” the Washington DC university indicated in the statement.
“The university is unwavering in its opposition to all acts of interpersonal violence“, it is added.

As The Guardian indicates, the chain of events led to a board of directors of the study house taking measures regarding the artist’s actions.
According to the statement, the meeting was scheduled last Friday, where the decision was made, not only to eliminate the honorary title, cancel the scholarship program that bears his name and return the donation that financed it, but also to end a 2023 commitment agreement with the Sean Combs Foundation.
“The Sean Combs Foundation has not owed or made any payments towards the $1 million pledge as of this date, therefore, no funds due under 2023 pledge agreement”, it is explained.
