P Diddy arrested for assault on son’s football coach

I wonder what he said to him

JOE

Well, he is a bad boy for life…

P Diddy, formerly Puff Daddy and simply, Diddy, who’s real name is Sean Combs, was arrested on the campus of the University of California for a incident in a weight room involving a kettlebell.

According to the Irish Independent the Hip-Hop star, aged 45, has since been released on bail of €160,000 US Dollars.

P Diddy’s son, Justin Combs, is a junior defence player on the UCLA Football team which also has Snoop Dog’s son, Cordell Broadus on the team.

In a statement to Campus Police, Football Coach Jim Mora said “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.”

This is the latest of a series of brushes with the law for Mr Combs.

In 1999 the hip-hopster was acquitted of bribery and weapons-related charges connected to a shooting in a New York nightclub.

Also in 1999, Diddy was arrested for his part of beating up a former Interscope executive.

After an apology the charges were reduced and he was ordered to take part in anger management classes.

Maybe the classes worked, because since these charges, Mr Combs has managed to steer clear of arrests until now.

We think it might be time for some more anger management sessions!
