P Diddy said to make 800 million dollars you have gotta be Fearless and Know your worth. Hosted by Issa Rae, “A Sip” is an unscripted, intimate fireside chat over drinks with creatives we are inspired by. This time, we’re back in South L.A. to talk to the artist, the curator, the mogul: Sean “Diddy” Combs. What doesn’t Diddy do?! Such a pleasure to sit down with the man who has done it all.
Diddy has regained ownership of fashion brand Sean John. Founded 20 years ago, the rapper once again became the owner of the brand following a bidding victory of $7.6 million on December 20.
The artist sold most of Sean John’s shares to GCG USA. Reports say that 80% of stakes were taken by the company and 20% was left for Diddy. The transaction amount was estimated to be around $70 million.
Bloomberg has previously reported that someone associated with Diddy was planning to purchase the brand for $3.3 million and was the highest bidder at the time.Sassbox Grand Supreme@MissSassboxI heard Diddy bought back Sean John’s brand for $7.5 million and all I wanna know… is if this means the velour oversized sweatsuits are coming back?
