Lucky break!

Diddy will not be charged with a felony for allegedly assaulting one of son Justin's UCLA football coaches last month, TMZ reports. The L.A. County D.A. just rejected the case, so unless the L.A. City Attorney decides to prosecute on a lesser misdemeanor charge, the music mogul appears to be out of the woods!

In case you missed it, the rapper threw a tizzy after finding out that the coach was "riding Justin badly" in practice. Clearly a man of action, the 45-year-old went to the Westwood campus later in the day to speak to the coach about Justin's perceived "lack of effort" and his "issues" with his son -- and that's when the fight began.

The star was first taken to the campus jail and then transferred to the downtown jail. The chart topper was initially held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon but was eventually charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats and one count of battery.

Talk about protective papa bear!
