Damn! If you came up in the 90s era you know about Coolio. His hit song “Gangster’s Paradise” dominated the airwaves, charts & music television networks like MTV, VH1 & BET.

The video was dope as hell.

It’s sad to see another legend go down due to drug abuse. Fentanyl is so dangerous and the narcotic is being found in more and more street drugs & pills, and at an extremely alarming rate. Sometimes the user has no idea they are even consuming the drug. The effects can be deadly.

RIP Coolio.

Baller Alert — The “Gangsta’s Paradise” rapper’s manager Jarel (Jarez) Posey, confirmed Thursday that he died due to fentanyl. Coolio’s family also said he had traces of heroin and methamphetamines in his system. Investigators also determined that the rapper’s severe asthma and decades-long cigarette use also played a factor in his death and his body’s inability to fight back, TMZ reports.

Bumpy Johnson grew up in South Carolina, and a deformation in his head is why he was called Bumpy. His brother was accused of murdering a white man so his family moved to Harlem when he was 10.

Bumpy rose the ranks of the drug game and became one of the most infamous black crime bosses in Harlem. He also worked as a bodyguard for Stephanie St. Clair. She taught him the numbers game.

In the early 1960s, after his return from 10 years in prison, he found the neighbourhood he once ruled in shambles; with the streets controlled by the Italian mob. He took on the Genovese crime family to regain control.

Johnson was under a federal indictment for drug conspiracy when he died of congestive heart failure on July 7, 1968, at the age of 62.

His life is depicted in the crime drama TV series, “Godfather of Harlem.” His character is portrayed by Hollywood actor Forest Whitaker.
