Coolio Was About To Take Down Hollywood Pedophile Ring Before He Died
By Baxter Dmitry
Coolio was found dead on Wednesday evening, with initial reports attributing the sudden and unexpected death to a heart attack. Tributes from his fellow musicians poured in, as did tributes from Hollywood stars including Michelle Pfeiffer who described him as “nothing but gracious” and mourned a life cut entirely too short.
Since its release, “Gangsta’s Paradise” has become one of the most successful rap tracks of all time, having spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and winning the Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance in 1996.

Heartbroken to hear of the passing of the gifted artist @coolio. A life cut entirely too short. As some of you may know I was lucky enough to work with him on Dangerous Minds in 1995. He won a Grammy for his brilliant song on the soundtrack – which I think was the reason our film saw so much success. I remember him being nothing but gracious. 30 years later I still get chills when I hear the song. Sending love and light to his family. Rest in Power, Artis Leon Ivey Jr.
