Death of Coolio: “He saw other women”, his companion explains their unique relationship

September 28 was a very sad day. Rapper Coolio, known for his interplanetary hit Gangsta’s Paradise, died at the age of 59. It was at Jarez Posey, friend and manager of the artist, that his lifeless body was found. Worried that Coolio would not return from the bathroom, Jarez went into the room and discovered the unspeakable. The rapper would have been carried away by a heart attack according to his management who confided in the DailyMail. But it’s not just him who confided in the British media.

Coolio, Artis Leon Ivey Junior of his real name, shared the life of a certain Mimi for ten years. A blonde dancer who obviously paid tribute to him among many others and who lifted the veil on the true nature of their story during an interview. Contrary to appearances, the lovebirds were not in an exclusive relationship: “He was seeing other women before he died, but I knew about it. We had a deal“, she conceded.

Coolio and Mimi obviously didn’t set limits on the condition that they didn’t hide anything from each other: “There is nothing this man has done that he has hidden from me. We talked about absolutely everything. I knew everything about his life. We had no secrets from each other.“This way of living their relationship allowed them to register their couple in the long term. The young woman does not specify however if she also saw other men on her side. One thing is certain: the couple was on the same length of wave.

On the verge of saying “yes”, Coolio and Mimi finally backtracked: “We went to court, filled out all the forms and paperwork, and scheduled a date. Then we decided we wouldn’t. It was just a piece of paper that didn’t change the feelings we had for each other.” Which did not prevent Mimi from taking the name of the one she never married. A beautiful proof of her love.
