Rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was arrested  on UCLA’s campus Monday for an incident involving an kettle-bell weight, will not face any felony charges.

Combs was arrested by UCLA police after alleged getting into an altercation with strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi.  The former bad boy claims he was defending himself and his son, Justin Combs, a little-used defensive back with the team.

Alosi told the younger Combs to get off the field, not just for the rest of the day but for the rest of the summer.”  That’s when Diddy confronted the coach in his office and the scuffle started from there.

It spilled out into the adjacent weight room where a few interns were drawn to the action. UCLA has not yet released information regarding the incident.

Combs was released on $160,00 bail within a few hours of his arrest.   Diddy is counting to say his actions were all in self-defense. \

“What we can say now is that any actions taken by Mr. Combs were solely defensive in nature to protect himself and his son,” a spokeswoman for the rapper and producer said in a statement.
