Coolio Arrested in Los Angeles

Former rap star Coolio was arrested early Tuesday morning on an outstanding warrant for driving with an expired registration and suspended license in Los Angeles. The 44-year-old rapper was released shortly after posting $10,000 bail.

Coolio claims the warrant was a mistake. "I had a warrant I didn't even know I had. I just got my license back like four months ago, so how the hell I still got a warrant from 2004? But this from San Bernadino; they make a few mistakes out there," the rapper said in a video on TMZ.com.

Last we heard, the 'Gangsta's Paradise' rapper was scheduled to star in Oxygen network's upcoming reality series, 'Coolio & the Gang.' The show will feature Coolio and family as he tries to juggle life as a single father.

'Coolio & the Gang,' which Coolio co-executive produced, was set to air in the spring and there's no word on the status of the series.
