![Boo’d Up: Ludacris Throws ‘Fab’ Birthday Bash For Eudoxie… [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ludcris-FAB-Birthday-Party-10-520x547.jpg)
Another day another washed up rapper (and his son) gets locked up!
Old school rapper Coolio was arrested in Las Vegas today … and sadly enough he’s currently behind bars at the same jail as the son, who played alongside him in his now defunct oxygen reality show Coolio Rules.
I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree huh? *sigh*
Details + mugshots below:
According to TMZ, Coolio was a passenger in a Nissan Versa which was pulled over for a routine traffic violation early Friday morning.
We’re told the cops ran Coolio’s name in the system and noticed he had 2 active bench warrants out for his arrest stemming from multiple traffic violations.
Coolio was arrested and hauled to Clark County Detention Center — the same place where his son Grtis is rotting away for allegedly robbing some dude at gunpoint a few months ago.
Coolio’s bail has been set at $5,850. A court date has not yet been set.
[Sidebar: If nothing else, Coolio shoulda been cited by the fashion police for that monstrosity on his head! But I digress... ]
Coolio’s oldest son is also locked up in the same Nevada jail after he allegedly teamed up with a Vegas hooker to rob some dude at gunpoint.
22-year-old Grtis Ivey (who went by “Artis” on the reality show) … was arrested on November 14, 2011 for allegedly busting into a Vegas apartment with a gun and forcing the tenant into the bathroom … while he and a female prostitute named Shantrice Wilkerson ransacked the place.
According to the police report, Shantrice was trollin’ at LAX nightclub at the Luxor on October 26 and met a guy named Joseph Hall … who didn’t know she was a call girl.
The two hit it off … and Wilkerson told him that she had a “dream” of having sex on a pile of money.
Hall asked if $5,000 was OK … she agreed … and the two eventually went back to Hall’s apartment to grab the cash out of a safe.
According to the report, the two bounced to Wilkerson’s pad to do the deed … but before it went down, Wilkerson asked for money … and Hall flipped out and left.
But cops say, Wilkerson REMEMBERED where Hall lived … and brought Grtis to the place 3 days later so they could rob it.
According to the report … Grtis entered the pad with a gun … and ordered Hall’s rooommate into the bathroom while he and the hooker stole a safe, 2 iPads, 2 laptops, passports, and anything else that wasn’t nailed down.
Cops say the roommate was able to identify Coolio’s son and the hooker — and both were arrested on a slew of charges including robbery with a deadly weapon, first degree kidnapping and grand larceny.
Both Grtis and Wilkerson told cops they never brought a gun to the apartment … and Wilkerson admitted to stealing some of the stuff.
Grtis is being held without bail … and is due to face a judge on Monday.
Maaannnnn it’s way too much going on! But I guess they’ve both been spending most their lives living in a “Gangsta’s Paradise”…. *sigh*

GRITS (I can’t believe it spells out like that) is looking at major time, he truly is. Home invasion, kidnapping etc. etc.. GRITS is looking at 15 to 25 years and that is with a good lawyer.

He looks scary!

probly why he lost in jail cause yhe hair make the police say ewww hands behind ir back ure goin to jail the other dude say why then yhe cop say really ur head
For Coolio’s son and what he did, I have one word/question: Why?
For Coolio and his head, same word/question: Why?
From the reality show it was very obvious in which direction Coolio’s son was headed in and it seemed to be down the road to destruction. He was against all the suggestions that his father had for him on the show as far as working regular jobs and so forth to get to a grander position in life later. The boy was Hot Headed and seemed to believe that he was above anything humbling and demanded his riches right now! His father should have cut all them Spiders off his head,started using his Government name,dressed in a suit and tie from time to time to set a better example for the boy as a mature adult instead of running around acting and dressing sixteen himself. Now look at them both….Sad & SMH!
How in the hell was he able to get not one but two bench warrants? All the police had to do was put out a BOLO for a semi-retarded african american male rocking multiple turds for pony tails.
@ Gwendolyn when I read your comment: He needs to let them dayum braids rest in paradise. I sweater God he does.
As I looked at Coolio braids and said to myself: If there is a time to let the braids go it would be now! (shaking my head!) Why did I read your comment (Blink twice!) and fell out laughing.
Braids or no braids he is still a frightful looking bundle of ratchetness. Does he live in Vegas? How sad that both father and son are locked up in the same jail over dumbness and stupidity. Where did all of his money go?
"government name." Y’all are too much!
You see the boy’s eyes? They’re frightening too (like Ms. Stanton’s). They radiate a strong spirit of malicious anger.
Lord have mercy on him, his daddy and Angela Stanton.
I get it. The crazy braids were his lil trademark or whatever, but dang at some point somebody should’ve suggested a weave, a wig, some rogaine, some nioxin, or something. It’s too late now though so just let it go already!
