Sean “Diddy” Combs’ son, Justin, is a defensive back for the UCLA Bruins, so the mogul occasionally spends time on campus. Diddy was arrested Monday afternoon on charges of “assault with a deadly weapon, which was a kettlebell” at UCLA’s Acosta Athletic Training Complex, according to a UCLA release. No one was seriously injured in the incident, and UCPD is investigating.
FOX Sports’ Bruce Feldman reports that Diddy assaulted UCLA strength coach Sal Alosi — formerly with the New York Jets. Alosi famously tripped a Miami Dolphins player on the sideline of a Jets game in 2010.

According to TMZ, the altercation was over Alosi yelling at Justin Combs at practice.
UCLA coach Jim Mora released this statement:
“I’m thankful that our staff showed the level of professionalism that they did in handling this situation. This is an unfortunate incident for all parties involved. While UCPD continues to review this matter, we will let the legal process run its course and refrain from further comment at this time.”
Diddy appears to be holding true to his claim to be a Bad Boy for life.
