Arrest Issued For Coolio

A Los Angeles judge has issued a bench warrant for rapper Coolio after he failed to show up for a progress report hearing on Monday.

Coolio's lawyer told the judge he had tried to contact his client and had no idea why he wasn't in court, according to TMZ.com.

The Gangsta's Paradise hitmaker has been on probation since last year, after pleading guilty to possession of a controlled substance.
