UCLA is standing by its decision, and now, so are its students!

Despite the public outcry regarding the university's decision to grant Diddy's son Justin Combs with a $54,000 football scholarship, many of the student-athletes currently enrolled are defending him, as well, and maintain the amount of money the rapper makes is a non-issue!

Justin Combs is the son of Diddy.

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

Should those two facts correlate?

Some tax payers are raving mad that the son of the multimillionaire got a full ride to a top-tier university, but the young man doesn't think he has anything to apologize for.

Here's what he said:

Uh oh.

Justin Combs, the son of the insanely successful rapper Diddy, is facing intense scrutiny for his $54,000 UCLA scholarship to play football.

No one is denying the freshman's credentials for the scholarship since he was a straight A student in high school and is apparently a wicked good football player.

The problem for many people is that

Thanks to inflamed vocal chords, Celine Dion has had to cancel four months worth of concerts and won't return to her Las Vegas stage until June 9th, but at least her recovery is going "according to plan."

And with a little luck, she might actually be ready to perform as soon as late April or May. Her husband Rene Angelil gave an update on the singer's health and she is "doing better," as he explained:

"Celine is doing better. She's obviously not singing, but her speaking voice is getting back to normal. We're flying to Los Angeles on Monday for a follow-up visit with Dr. Berke at the UCLA Medical Clinic. When Dr. Berke examined her two weeks ago, he said that he expects her to fully recover within 6-8 weeks which would mean between the middle and end of April. So far, everything is going according to plan."

Take all the time you need, gurl! We want those vocal chords to come back more powerful than ever!

Either the music was too loud and someone REALLY pissed Diddy off last night!

The hip hop mogul was rushed to UCLA's hospital with symptoms of an extreme migraine.

His entourage were so concerned about Diddy's massive headache, they whisked him to the emergency room.

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!
