The star - real name Anthony Smith - was taken into custody by LA police on Saturday after an alleged physical confrontation with his children's mother, E! News reports.
Following his arrest, Tone Lōc was booked on suspicion of felony domestic violence.
The 'Wild Thing' musician was later freed after a $50,000 (£30,858) bail was posted on his behalf.
He has not yet offered any comment on the arrest.
Tone Lōc first attained fame with a series of humourous rap hits, including 1989's 'Funky Cold Medina', but has thus far only released two major label albums.
He won a 1990 American Music Award in the 'Favourite Dance New Artist' category.
The rapper has also acted in a number of well-known films such as Poetic Justice, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Heat and Spy Hard.
