Diddy's son Justin Combs backs father after UCLA arrest

Sean "Diddy" Combs received a big vow of support from his son Justin Combs Tuesday following the rapper's arrest.

Diddy was arrested Monday for an alleged assault involving a weight-room kettlebell at the University of California, Los Angeles, athletic facility, where his son plays football, the university revealed in a statement.

Later, Diddy, 45, defended himself, releasing a statement through a rep that said: "The various accounts of the event and charges that are being reported are wholly inaccurate."

Now his son is publicly showing he has his father's back, writing on Instagram: "I thank God for having a father that's always there for me.. Love you pops!"

I thank God for having a father that's always there for me.. Love you pops!
