Diddy will not be facing felony charges in the UCLA arrest case, for allegedly hitting his son's football coach.

The 45-year-old rapper was arrested on the UCLA campus after reportedly attacking the coach with a kettlebell, and was charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats and one count of battery.

However, the Los Angeles County District Attorney has rejected the case against the star, reported The Hollywood Reporter.

But it still doesn't take Diddy aka Sean Combs off the hook, as the case is now said to be referred to the Los Angeles City Attorney, who could file misdemeanor charges.
