Howard University on Friday said it was severing ties with music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs as a result of video depicting his assault on ex-girlfriend Cassie in 2016. The Howard University Board of Trustees moved to disband a scholarship in Combs’ name, terminate a 2016 “gift agreement” in which Combs pledged $1 million through his foundation, and accept the return of his honorary degree, conferred in 2014, according to a school statement.
The singer Cassie, 37, whose name is Casandra Ventura, alleged in a since-settled federal lawsuit in November that Combs raped and physically abused her over the course of their relationship. His attorneys said at the time that the settlement was “in no way an admission of wrongdoing.” In May, a video was released that showed him beating Cassie in 2016, matching the description of an incident she detailed in her lawsuit.
