Sean “Diddy” Combs is looking to share the love and give back to two powerhouse historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs): Howard University and Jackson State University (JSU).

Diddy’s promise came during the 2022 BET Awards, right after he was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

“I want to donate a million dollars to Howard University,” the 52-year-old mogul said while accepting the honor, giving back to the prestigious HBCU he briefly attended back in the 1980s.

“Also, Imma drop another million dollars on Deion Sanders and Jackson State because we should play for us,” he added, giving Coach Prime a shoutout for all the hard work he’s done for HBCU football players. “Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart, I love y’all — peace.”

In response to this game-changing news, Couch Prime’s son, Deion Sanders Jr., shared a video of him reacting to Diddy’s pledge, repeatedly saying “God is good.”

His father was also busy reposting other people’s congratulatory messages on his Instagram Story.

People on social media also expressed their excitement over Diddy’s announcement. Check out some Twitter users’ sentiments below.

Others took the opportunity to address that there are many other HBCUs that could have used the money, though this sentiment was ultimately shut down by others who defended Diddy’s pledge.

Indeed, most of the commentary was overwhelmingly positive, as Diddy used the BET Awards platform to give back to the HBCU community in a major way.

Shoutout to Diddy, Howard, Jackson State and Deion Sanders! While there’s currently no word on what Howard and Jackson State plan on doing with their new $1M donations, it’s safe to assume that it’ll go toward a good cause.
