A new wave of media drama has emerged as Dame Dash, the outspoken music executive and former Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder, publicly claimed he is now the chairman of Revolt TV — a claim that prompted an immediate response from the company’s leadership.
Dame Dash’s Claim
In a recent interview clip that went viral, Dame Dash appeared to assert that he was stepping into a leadership position at Revolt, stating he would now be playing a key role in guiding the network’s vision, ownership, and cultural direction.
“I’m the chairman of Revolt now,” Dash stated. “We’re bringing it back to the people. This is about real ownership, real culture.”
The statement sparked widespread speculation, applause from some fans, and confusion from others — particularly given Revolt’s past ties to Sean “Diddy” Combs, who founded the network in 2013.
Revolt Responds
Shortly after Dame’s comments gained traction, Revolt CEO Detavio Samuels issued a public response to clarify the facts.
“While we have tremendous respect for Dame Dash’s contributions to culture, he is not the chairman of Revolt,” Samuels said in a statement. “There have been no changes to Revolt’s executive leadership or board structure. Any claims to the contrary are inaccurate.”
The CEO emphasized that Revolt is undergoing a transformative period aimed at expanding its reach and empowering creators, but that official leadership changes are not currently part of that process.
Industry Reaction
The situation has stirred conversation about media ownership, control of Black-led platforms, and how public figures leverage influence in the digital space.
Some viewers expressed disappointment over the misunderstanding, while others praised Dame Dash’s ongoing commitment to pushing for Black-owned media representation, even if the claim itself wasn’t formally recognized.
What’s Next?
As Revolt continues to redefine its brand post-Diddy, all eyes will be on its leadership, partnerships, and public messaging. Whether Dame Dash will take on any formal role at the network remains unclear, but one thing is certain: the conversation around authentic ownership in media is far from over.
