Coolio, whose legal name was Artis Leon Ivey Jr., died at the Los Angeles home of a friend, his longtime manager Jarez Posey confirmed.

American rapper Coolio was denied entry into Canada and therefore wasn't able to perform at the recent I Love the '90s Tour in Winnipeg, which included Vanilla Ice, Young MC, 2 Live Crew and Sisqo.

Authorities say rapper Coolio has been charged with a felony after a gun was found in a backpack at Los Angeles International Airport.
