Coolio's Uncool Drug Bust

Rapper is booked at LAX after security screener found him in possession of narcotics believed to be crack cocaine

Apparently, Coolio couldn't just say no.

The onetime chart-topper turned British reality show also-ran was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport this morning after security screeners allegedly found drugs on him.

Police declined to reveal the type of narcotic he is accused of possessing. TMZ reported that it was crack cocaine.

Coolio, 45, was taken into custody shortly after 10:30 a.m. after he made his way through a checkpoint at the Southwest Airlines terminal and was stopped by one of TSA's finest. He's scheduled to perform in Tulsa, Okla., tonight, though it's unclear if the gig will proceed as planned.

The "Gangsta's Paradise" purveyor, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey, Jr., is currently en route to the Los Angeles Police Department's Pacific Division, where he will be booked on suspicion of possessing drugs.
