But\u00a0<em>Bloomberg\u00a0<\/em>reports\u00a0the company, which owns over 90 percent of Sean John, is bankrupt, so Diddy attempted to buy it back for $3.3 million\u00a0through an acquisition company named SLC Fashion LLC earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Interested parties were allowed to put in their bids until December 15 \u2014 and it looks like they have a winner. According to a press release, Diddy has successfully retained the Sean John Brand but had to pay over twice his original offer for a total of $7.551 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI launched Sean John in 1998 with the goal of building a premium brand that shattered tradition and introduced Hip Hop to high-fashion on a global scale,\u201d Diddy said in a statement to <em>HipHopDX<\/em>. \u201cSeeing how streetwear has evolved to rewrite the rules of fashion and impact culture across categories, I\u2019m ready to reclaim ownership of the brand, build a team of visionary designers and global partners to write the next chapter of Sean John\u2019s legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CPGYlT1rHZF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The auction was held on Monday (December 20) with Diddy submitting the highest bid.\u00a0United Ventures LLC submitted a bid for a cash purchase price of $7.5 million and is now deemed the backup bidder. Final <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roval of Diddy\u2019s offer is scheduled to be held on Wednesday (December 22).<\/p>\n<p>The Hong Kong-based company filed for Chapter 11 in July and wanted to sell its assets, which included Aquatalia, Ely &amp; Walker and Tahari and Sean John. Diddy was believed to have retained a 10 percent stake in brand when he sold it to GBG in 2016. Court papers described the brand as the \u201ccrown jewel\u201d of the GBG portfolio and said Diddy\u2019s bid \u201creflected the highest and best available for the assets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their partnership initially looked good, but it soured in recent years.\u00a0In February, Diddy filed a lawsuit against GBG seeking $25 million for \u201cfalse endorsement, misappropriation of likeness and violating his publicity rights,\u201d over the launch last fall of a women\u2019s collection with U.K. fast-fashion retailer Missguided Unlimited. A few days later, a second lawsuit followed from his nonprofit, Citizen Change, over GBG\u2019s use of the phrase \u201cVote or Die,\u201d a trademark owned by the organization. But sources say those lawsuits have been dropped.<\/p>\n<p>The Sean John brand was carried in 1,200 stores and had sales of $200 million within two years of its launch.
