Coolio Busted for Crack

Posted Mar 6th 2009 2:40PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned Coolio has just been arrested at LAX for possession of crack cocaine.

We're told the rapper was going through a security screening to get to his Southwest Airlines flight when a screener found crack cocaine on his person.

Sources close to the situation tell us Coolio -- real name Artis Leon Ivey, Jr -- got physical with the screener at some point during the incident.

Coolio posted $10,000 bail was released at 3:22 PM.

UPDATE -- It looks like Coolio was headed to Tulsa, Okla. to play a gig tonight at the Flytrap Music Hall. His co-headliners: Tone Loc and Shock G of The Digital Underground. Holy 90s!!!

14. TO OJ didnt do it, #8 just as its NO supprise when a White guy is busted for METH. Don't put out rascist statements and you wont receive rascist replies. There are just as many White folks on Meth(probably More since blacks are outnumbered as Blacks on crack and both bring folks down. A drug addict is a drug addict No matter which drug they chose to abuse, crack coke, Meth, ACID, or alcohol. Which one are you? Let me guest. a METH HEAD no doubt. By the way when will you be relesased from re-hab?
