Diddy makes bail on alleged assault

Hip-hop music mogul Diddy has been released on bail after being arrested over an alleged assault on a US university campus.

The incident is said to have involved a weight-room kettlebell at the athletic facilities of UCLA, where the star’s son is on the football team, police said.

Diddy, 45, whose real name is Sean Combs, was freed after posting bail, several hours after his arrest, jail records showed.

Officials did not identify the victim of the assault or say what led to it. No one was seriously injured, campus police said in a statement.

The jail records show that Combs’ bail was $160,000, but sheriff’s officials said he posted $50,000. The reason for the discrepancy was not clear.

Combs’ son Justin Combs is a redshirt junior defensive back on the UCLA football team, which has been working out on campus.

The son of another major rap star also plays football for the Bruins.Snoop Dogg’s son Cordell Broadus is a wide receiver who signed with the team earlier this year.

Football coach Jim Mora thanked his staff for their professionalism in handling the situation: “This is an unfortunate incident for all parties,” he said in the statement from campus police.
