Puff Daddy wants to start a movement for dreamers and more with his Revolt network.
The hip-hop mogul hosted a Revolt event in L.A on Monday and shared words of encouragement for aspiring artists and go-getters. The artist formally known as Diddy explained why he decided to start his network in LA instead of New York and discussed the young people that inspired him to come up with the outlet.
"When I decided to launch REVOLT—REVOLT is for the artists/by the artists. REVOLT is for the fans and by the fans that really love music," he said. "REVOLT is also for creative people and entrepreneurs and hustlers. When I came out here, I met so many hustlers and entrepreneurs, especially here on Fairfax [Avenue].... This block right here really meant a lot to me because it was young cats that was coming up that was trying to do their own clothing lines. Not trying, but doing their own clothing lines, opening their own stories, creating their own movements, doing the grassroots marketing that it takes to really build a community. That's what we're trying to do at REVOLT. I didn't just come out here just to do an in-store. I came out here because I really wanted to see and meet some of the creative minds here and also just congratulate them and know that they have a place at REVOLT."
Puff also gave a special shout-out to the dreamers of the world and named himself the greatest money-getter in the world.
"You have a lot of cats out there that say they're the greatest rapper in the world," he said."I'm the greatest money-getter in the world. That's what my fans are made of: Hustlers and cats that's out there and any youth that's trying to get it."
The network has done well since its launch in October. With the channel serving as an alternative to mainstream music, the mogul wants to launch more shows on the network, including a series that will showcase the best 16 bar raps from the Internet.
