Didi was one of the investors who helped Elon Musk acquire TwitterX, formerly known as Twitter Inc., for $44 billion in 2022. The details were revealed in a newly released list of Twitter Inc. shareholders.
The documents, made public on Wednesday, list around 100 entities as co-owners, with Diddy listed under the name “Sean Combs Capital LLC” alongside other big names such as Bill Ackman, Saudi Arabia’s Prince Walesid bin Talal Al Saud and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.
It’s unclear how much the now-disgraced music mogul invested in X… and it’s not publicly known who still holds shares in the company as of August 2024.
The document was first published by the Washington Post.
The full revelation came after U.S. District Judge Susan Illston initially approved a motion filed by independent tech journalist Jacob Silverman.
Silverman said he was seeking transparency in the public interest. Former Twitter employees have argued in court that the company violated arbitration agreements by not paying certain fees after Musk took over the company, which prompted the company to turn over the list, which it had previously kept sealed.
As for Diddy, he’s been around for a bit longer, having been spotted with Elon on Dave Chappelle’s comedy show back in 2022. But times have changed for the rapper since then, as he’s now embroiled in allegations of sex trafficking and assault.
