Source say coaches for the leading West Coast school want to drop the case against the 45-year-old rap mogul, reports TMZ.

Reports by the site further revealed that despite the coaches agreeing to let the incident slide, law enforcement says the case will go under felony review before the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

When contacted, a rep for Diddy said, 'What we can say now is that any actions taken by Mr. Combs were solely defensive in nature to protect himself and his son. We are confident that once the true facts are revealed, the case will be dismissed,'

Diddy was arrested Monday afternoon, June 22, 2015 on suspicion of assault with a weight room kettlebell, battery and making a criminal threat after conditioning coach Sal Alosi allegedly began badgering Diddy’s son, Justin, during a team practice.
