False accusations have landed our Lord and Savior in jail
 

Coolio should know better than to bring another woman home to the house he shares with his girlfriend ... and he should also know better than to allegedly punch her in the face.

TMZ has learned the rap legend -- aka Artis Ivey Jr. -- was popped on April Fools' Day after he allegedly pushed Anabella Chatman to the ground and punched her in the face. And to add insult to injury ... according to the police report, Coolio then hightailed it out of there with their toddler son and the other woman.

Actually ... he didn't get out clean. Anabella says Coolio struck her with his car as he beat his hasty retreat -- in fact, cops say she had tire marks on her leg. Pretty compelling evidence.

Coolio tried convincing cops HE was the victim and that she scratched him in a jealous rage, but they weren't buyin' what he was sellin' ... so he was taken to the pokey.

Calls to Coolio were not returned.

Her scratching him, him punching her in the face and hitting her with their car... whos side am I on??...

Is this the same woman he was on celebrity wife swap with recently?

I hope he gets the book thrown at him. He really was a jerk on that show, and his girlfriend was a really sweet lady.

I can hear Nadia cackling.

I was about to say something similar. :laugh:

What a sneaky bitch, how could she do such a thing to poor Coolio?

Bet she ran herself over tbh. :idc:

it really is the only possible explanation

Oh dear Coolio

Coolio does not seem the violent type

What was he thinking? :bored:

He was the victim she scratched him in a jealous rage

I'm not happy about him cheating though.

Well.. this is it
