Coolio arrested for driving without a license
Bad week to be a rapper in Hollywood. Warren G. was arrested on Sunday and Coolio earlier this morning for driving on a suspended license. TMZ says:
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that the rapper-turned-TV chef (real name: Artis Leon Ivey, Jr. -- yes, we're serious) was pulled over in a 1996 Hummer around 1 AM PT for a minor traffic violation. That's when the po-po discovered that there was a warrant out for Coolio -- for a suspended license. He had originally been popped in San Bernadino County, Calif. in 2001 for the driving on a suspended license charge ... guess he never handled his business! They took him into custody, and his bail has been set at $10,000. (Source)
A '96 Hummer? I guess instead of wearing 10 carat diamond earrings and covering their teeth with gold, rappers are now driving around mid-90's gas guzzlers. Because at $4.50 a gallon, there's no better way to show you've got money than by cruising around in a car that gets half a mile to the gallon. I heard that every time a Hummer is started, Al Gore cries.
