Diddy Arrested for Allegedly Assaulting Son's Coach With Kettlebell
According to TMZ, hip-hop mogul Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, was arrested in Los Angeles today after allegedly assaulting a coach at UCLA, where his son plays football.
The school later confirmed Combs had been taken into custody by campus police on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, the weapon in question being a kettlebell weight.
“No one was seriously injured and UCPD is investigating,” said UCLA in a statement. “Combs is expected to be transported to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Inmate Reception Center later this evening.”
Citing anonymous sources, TMZ reports that the dispute stemmed from the coach’s harsh treatment of Combs’ son. From TMZ:
One source says an assistant coach was screaming at Justin on the field during a strength and conditioning session. We’re told the coach “was riding Justin, screaming intensely at him.” Diddy watched the whole thing from the sideline.
At some point later, we’re told Diddy confronted the coach in his office and grabbed him. Diddy was arrested for assault.
As of Monday evening, Combs reportedly remains in campus jail.
In December, Combs was rumored to have fucked up Drake’s shoulder at Miami’s Art Basel festival, allegedly over the “disrespectful” use of a beat by hip-hop producer Boi-1da.
