Classic west coast MC, Coolio was arrested at LAX, this past Saturday, on charges of possession of a firearm by a felon.
TMZ reports that the “Gangsta’s Paradise,” rapper was flagged down by TSA while trying to make his exit from the City of Angels, when a bag belonging to the rapper and his crew was discovered to be holding a loaded gun.
Coolio’s bodyguard, in a display of loyalty to the artist, initially attempted to take the fall for the cold steel, before investigations into the ownership of the weapon found that the gun was stolen and that Coolio was the true owner.
This led to both the rapper and his bodyguard being booked on the gun charges.
Following the incident, the rapper posted a video describing his legal issues as just “a little misunderstanding” while munching on some grub at P.F. Changs.
“I mean I don’t know whats gonna be the result of this in the future, but for now I’m fine,” explained the rapper.
Check out video of the raper’s arrest and statement on the charges below.
