Coolio has been arrested at LAX on drug possession charges.
The rapper, real name Artis Leon Ivey Jr, was detained as he went through security at the international airport on Friday.Reports suggested the drug was crack cocaine although this has not been confirmed.
The 45-year-old Grammy winner was later released on $10,000 (£7,000) bail.
His manager, Susan Haber, said she had not spoken to the rapper since his arrest and could not comment.
Coolio became something of a controversial figure among British TV viewers when he appeared on reality TV show Big Brother earlier this year.
He was accused by some of making offensive jokes and comments, both of a racist and sexist nature but managed to stay on the show and came third.
