Justin Combs is the son of Diddy.

He also received a $54,000 scholarship to UCLA to play football.

Way to go!

Diddy's son, Justin Combs has just received a full scholarship to UCLA where he will play on the school's football team.

It's not just about sports though - Justin has the brains too. He has a 3.75 GPA and is the head of the African American Society at his school, Iona Prep.

Daddy Diddy couldn't be more proud! He announced his excitement and in a press release:

"As a parent, today is one of the proudest moments of my life. This is everything a father could want for his son, for him to excel at what he loves to do and is truly passionate about. Justin is a shining example of what hard work, determination and a strong mentality can achieve. I am honored to call him my son and am happy that he is fulfilling his dream."

Those are definitely the sentiments of a proud poppa! So happy to hear how much he supports his son.

Congrats, Justin! You are on the road to success!
