In the aftermath of the controversial Cassie beating video, Diddy faces another significant repercussion – Howard University has rescinded his honorary degree.
On Friday, Howard University’s Board of Trustees announced the revocation of Diddy’s honorary degree, following the recent release of footage showing Diddy assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
Diddy, who received his honorary degree from Howard University in 2014, has been stripped of this honor due to behavior deemed “fundamentally incompatible with Howard University’s core values and beliefs,” according to the institution’s statement.
In addition to revoking his degree, Howard University has decided to remove Diddy’s name from all official documents listing him as an honorary degree recipient.
Furthermore, the university is disbanding the scholarship program named after him. They are also returning a $1 million donation from him and have terminated a 2023 pledge agreement with his foundation.
