Sean "Diddy" Combs apparently needs a lesson in sportsmanship.
The hip-hop mogul was arrested Monday on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly going after a UCLA football coach with a kettlebell, campus police confirm.
Combs was detained on campus shortly after 12:30 p.m. following the incident at the university's Acosta Athletic Training Complex. His son Justin plays football for the Bruins.
"I'm thankful that our staff showed the level of professionalism that they did in handling this situation," head coach Jim Mora said in a statement released by UCPD. "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."
TMZ reports that the official involved was strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi—and that the alleged altercation was caught on video.
UCPD said that Combs, who was in custody at the campus jail, was expected to be transported to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Inmate Reception Center this evening.
Justin just paid homage to his famous dad on Instagram yesterday, the fam having enjoyed a friendly flag football game for Father's Day.
Justin was photographed getting into an SUV on campus not long after his dad was arrested. A rep for Combs had no comment.
