Howard University revokes Sean Combs’ honorary degree and scholarship he funded

Move comes after video released showing hip-hop mogul attacking singer Cassie Ventura in 2016

Howard University on Friday announced that it has revoked the honorary degree it gave to Sean Diddy" Combs in 2014, discontinued a scholarship program named after the rap mogul and returned a $1m donation from him, citing the video which showed him violently attacking singer Cassie Ventura in the hallway of a Los Angeles hotel.

Mr Combs' behavior ... is so fundamentally incompatible with Howard University's core values and beliefs that he is deemed no longer worthy to hold the institution's highest honor," the Washington DC school said in a statement. The university is unwavering in its opposition to all acts of interpersonal violence."
