Grammy-winning rapper Coolio died from a fentanyl overdose, his manager said on Thursday, April 6, six months after the musician was found dead at a friend’s home in Los Angeles at age 59.
Born Artis Leon Ivey Jr., Coolio was best known for his 1995 single “Gangsta’s Paradise,” from an album of the same name.
That song, a massive hit featured in the film “Dangerous Minds,” won a Grammy Award for best rap solo performance the following year.
