Rapper Coolio arrested in Hollywood

Rapper Coolio has been arrested in Los Angeles for driving with a suspended licence.

The hip-hop veteran, real name Artis Leon Ivey Jr, was stopped by police at 1am on Sunset Boulevard, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Police initially requested that Coolio pull over because his gray hummer's registration was expired.

After stopping the singer, they realised his licence was suspended and that he had an outstanding warrant.

He was released on $10,000 bail at 6:40 am, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's record.
