The Howard University Washington, D.C. has withdrawn its honorary degree awarded to the “Another One Of Me” singer following a 2016 viral video footage of him physically assaulting his former girlfriend Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura in a hotel hallway.
In a statement made available on the website of the University; the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to revoke the degree bestowed on Diddy in 2014; noting his actions constituted a major breach of the institution’s core values.

“This acceptance revokes all honours and privileges associated with the degree.
