Just ask Coolio, who turned up in court today for arraignment on charges stemming from his March 6 drug bust at Los Angeles International Airport.

The 45-year-old rapper,born Artis Ivey Leon Jr.,  pleaded not guilty plea to one felony drug charge and misdemeanor counts of battery and possession of a smoking device, which authorities said was a crack pipe.

Coolio was busted after screeners allegedly found drugs in his luggage. The battery charge came after he supposedly a TSA official's arm.

He remains free on $10,000 bail and is due back in court for another hearing on April 20.
