Diddy Offers $200 Million for Fuse TV

Fuse TV is up for grabs, and a few insiders say Sean “Diddy” Combs has his eye on it. Puff made it rain with a $200 million bid on the network, with plans to expand the reach of his own poppin’ new music station, Revolt TV. Fuse is available in approximately 74 million homes while Revolt gets jiggy in about 22.8 million.

Looks like Sean better comb up some more cash if he plans on remixing this cable company.

Seems like maybe Ms. Franklin is taking this “queen” thing a little too seriously.
