The mogul was responding to a pledge from GM to spend more of its ad budget on Black-owned media: “No longer can Corporate America manipulate our community into believing that incremental progress is acceptable action.”

Sean Combs, in an open letter posted to the website of his Revolt TV channel, called out large corporations for failing to commit meaningful advertising dollars to Black-owned media companies.

We are prepared to weaponize our dollars.”
