Artis Leon Ivey Jr., known around the world as Coolio, died on September 28th, 2022 at the age of 59. The iconic rapper’s former manager and family spokesperson, Jarez Posey, told TMZ that Collio died as a result of a fentanyl overdose. Traces of heroin and other methamphetamines were also found in his system. Asthma, paired with an extended use of cigarettes, contributed to a decrease in his body’s ability to “fight back” over the years.
