In a surprising turn of events, music mogul Diddy has reportedly severed ties with his media company, REVOLT, following the arrest of an alleged accomplice by federal agents in Miami. According to TMZ, Diddy is said to have sold all of his shares in REVOLT for an undisclosed sum to an anonymous buyer, resulting in the company now being under new ownership.

While the identity of the new owner remains unknown for now, sources close to the deal have assured TMZ that REVOLT will continue to be Black-owned. The new owner is expected to unveil themselves to the public in the coming weeks, suggesting potential changes within the company.

It is important to note that the sale of REVOLT is unrelated to the recent federal raid on Diddy's residences. The company's sale was reportedly in motion well before the search, which took place on March 25. Notably, Diddy had stepped down as the chairman of the company in late November, following a lawsuit filed against him by Casandra Ventura, accusing him of sexual assault, abuse, and trafficking.

REVOLT has yet to issue a public statement regarding Diddy's alleged sale, leaving fans and industry insiders curious about the future direction of the media outlet. Meanwhile, 25-year-old Brendon Paul, who is said to be associated with Diddy, was arrested at the Opa Locka Airport in Miami. Witnesses claim that federal agents intercepted Diddy and his team at the airport during the raid on his Los Angeles and Miami homes.

Paul was reportedly charged with possession of suspected cocaine and possession of suspected marijuana candy. Both charges are considered felonies in Florida, and the drugs were allegedly discovered in his travel bags. While Paul was initially booked into jail, TMZ reports that he has since bonded out.

Interestingly, Paul was also mentioned in Rodney Jones' sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy, with Jones referring to him as the music mogul's "mule" who handles weapons and drugs. However, TMZ clarifies that none of the drugs found on Paul have been linked to Diddy.

The federal raid on Diddy's homes, which occurred on March 25, captured attention as Homeland Security agents entered his residence with weapons drawn and detained individuals present. Footage even showed Diddy's sons being taken into custody. Following the raid, electronics were reportedly seized from Diddy's home, suggesting a possible connection to a sex trafficking investigation.

As Diddy's sons returned to their Los Angeles home post-raid to collect their belongings, it remains uncertain who currently resides at the property. The situation continues to unfold, leaving fans and the public eager for further updates on both REVOLT and Diddy's legal proceedings.
