Back in 2012, the worlds of celebrity gossip and college sports intersected when it was first rumored that Cordell Broadus and Justin Combs would both play for the UCLA football team (even though Broadus was just a high school sophomore at the time).
At one point, the young men - the sons of Snoop Dogg and Diddy, respectively - were believed to have bright futures on the field, Broadus because he was one of the most highly-recruited high school players in the country, and Combs because Diddy told everyone his son is really good at football.
Not surprisingly, Combs turned out to be a bust, and his overbearing dad attacked a UCLA coach who criticized his son's performance.
Diddy and son have both endured a good deal of criticism in the wake of the attack, as many took Justin's poor performance on the field and his father's constant presence at practices as evidence that the 21-year-old never deserved a spot on the team, much less the full athletic scholarship that he received.
Perhaps fearing similar criticism, Broadus announced today that he is quitting the team without ever having set foot on the field:
Sources say Broadus and his coaches parted on good terms, and that the decision is the result of Cordell's desire to focus on his film production company (a common choice amongst college freshmen, right?).
No word on how Papa Snoop feels about the decision. He once believed so strongly in his son's talents on the field that he paid a 6-year-old Cordell to participate in the Snoop Youth Football League.
Sounds like the D-O-double-G was banking on Cordell's NFL ssalary to pay for his retirement weed.
