Diddy invests $2 million in HBCU football team and Financial Literacy Fund

Sean “Diddy” Combs is giving back.

The rapper and mogul, 53, had a busy Friday that ended with him writing two US$1 million checks for causes that are close to his heart.

First, the “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker headlined Invest Fest in Atlanta, where he announced a $1 million investment fund in partnership with Earn Your Leisure (EYL) and its founders, Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings.

The media platform “gives rise to emerging and established content creators from the world of business, finance, and entrepreneurship whose perspective, expertise and in-depth insight has been undervalued and overlooked,” per its website.

The fund will go toward financial literacy efforts, “[putting] the investment strategies discussed on EYL into action” and “providing a practical model for economic empowerment,” according to a press release from Diddy’s investment portfolio, Combs Global.

“I’m thrilled to join forces with Earn Your Leisure,” Combs said in the release. “We’re going beyond discussing finances and taking action to demystify the world of investing for our community.”
