Revolt also unveiled a new ownership structure that will give its employees equity in the company. The company produces online shows such as “Black Girl Stuff” and “The Life of Draco,” which stars rapper Big Draco.
A number of lawsuits filed late last year by one of the most well-known musicians and producers in hip-hop alleging sexual assault and rape have damaged Diddy’s reputation.

R&B singer Cassie sued him in November, alleging that he subjected her to a years-long violent relationship that included beatings and rape. Several days after filing the complaint, Diddy settled with Cassie, whose full name is Casandra Ventura.
