COOLIO CHARGED WITH BATTERY FOR FIGHTING WITH HIS BABY MAMA

Coolio got in a heated and bloody brawl with the mother of his young son and now is facing a misdemeanor battery charge, Las Vegas prosecutors confirmed Tuesday.

The rap legend allegedly pushed Anabella Chapman to the ground and punched her in the face with a closed fist April 1 during a fight over another girlfriend he brought to their residence, a police report obtained by the Daily News states.

Coolio, whose real name is Artis Ivey, busted Chapman's right lip and then tried to flee the residence with the couple's toddler son and the other woman, Chapman told police.

The victim, 33, said she fell and was sideswiped by Ivey's truck when she grabbed onto the driver's side window, yelling at the "Gangsta's Paradise" singer to return their son, the police report says.

Ivey reportedly came back, picked Chapman up and dropped her at a nearby urgent care facility.

She was "covered in blood" with a split lip, a bleeding middle right finger and a visible tire mark on her right calf, cops said.

Chapman said she was ordered to say she fell on her own, medical staff told police.

Ivey denied hitting Chapman when cops tracked him down an hour and a half later.

He said he was the victim because Chapman scratched him in the face in a jealous rage over the new girlfriend, Melynda Karr.

Karr told police that Chapman went ballistic during the confrontation, hitting and pulling Ivey to the ground by his shirt.

Officers checked Ivey's shirt and did not notice any stretch marks or rips conducive to someone being pulled "violently back" against their will, the police report says.

Because of Chapman's injuries, police deemed Ivey the "predominant physical aggressor" and arrested him.

Prosecutors charged him with a misdemeanor count of battery constituting domestic violence on April 10, according to the complaint obtained by The News.

The blow-out fight was first reported by TMZ.com.

Ivey, 49, had no comment when reached by The News on Tuesday.

He regularly talked about his six kids from four different women during his 2009 stint on the British reality TV show "Celebrity Big Brother."
