Diddy has been arrested for allegedly attacking an American college football coach with a kettlebell weight during an altercation, according to a report.
The incident allegedly took place at an athletic facility on the campus of UCLA where his son Justin Combs attends and plays football.
The 45-year-old rapper - real name Sean Combs - was taken into.....
custody at the campus jail on Monday afternoon, TMZ reported.
He was arrested for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon and was later transferred by campus officers to the Los Angeles County Jail according to the site.
Sources associated to the rapper claim he was acting in self defense.
An insider connected to Diddy claims that he was not the aggressor and it all began during a workout earlier in the where strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi was 'riding Justin badly' and eventually told him not to come back until the end of summer due to a perceived lack of effort.
Then the mogul went to the Westwood campus later on Monday to talk to Alosi because he felt like the coach had an 'issue' with Justin.
TMZ's source said the coach would not see him and the staff told him to leave, but the father insisted seeing Alosi who had threatened to call security if he failed to make his exit.
The insider went on to claim that Diddy threatened to call police when the coach snapped and went after Diddy, who was forced to grab a kettlebell and hold it up in a defensive position. The source adds that the rapper did not attack with the intention of injuring the coach.
Another outlet claimed that Alosi put his hands up in a non-threatening matter and told Combs to get his father out of the office.
Diddy then allegedly walked into Alosi's hand as he told Alosi not to touch him and then attacked the assistant coach.
Interns pulled Diddy off the coach, but he broke free and allegedly struck Alosi before swinging a kettlebell at one of the interns.
The situation had calmed down but campus police responding to the incident checked security video and subsequently arrested Diddy.
