Diddy Talks Revolt TV; Chooses Kanye’s Side On Kimmel Beef

Posted byBy Leo | Published on: CommentsComments (2)

Diddy launched his new TV station, Revolt TV, this week and has been making his media rounds to promote the channel. Diddy spoke to TV host Jimmy Kimmel about Revolt, of course, and other potential ventures, but he also weighed in on Kimmel’s recent beef with Kanye West. As reported by vibe.com:

“I don’t wanna hurt your feelings but I gotta rock with the artist, I’m a musical artist. I can’t go against my family,” Diddy admitted. “I thought it was good for ratings for you so I thought you was winning on the other side.I was team Kanye. I’m sorry! I just hope you don’t make fun of me like that.”

“While there were no hard feelings, the man discussed wanting to Harlem shake up his portfolio as the first African American NFL owner, the recent launch of his music network Revolt and whether his various endeavors have made him more filthy rich than Jay Z.”

Diddy already has loads of cash, landing the top spot on this year’s Forbes ‘Cash Kings’ list that ranks hip-hop moguls for money made in the previous year. However, it is great to see Diddy continue to do his thing, and hopefully soon he will become the first hip-hop billionaire.

Check out the Diddy-Kimmel interviews below.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
