The rapper died in September at the age of 59 and a new report from The Blast suggests documents filed after his death show the Gangsta’s Paradise star died intestate, which means he did not leave a will, and the report states his seven grown-up children have been listed as his next of kin and probable beneficiaries.
The rapper was also dad to three younger children who were not listed in the forms.
The Blast states a probate document filed by Coolio’s former manager confirms his estate is estimated to be valued at more than US$300,000 (NZ$475,000) but the exact value has yet to be determined. The document shows it includes “personal property and demand deposit accounts, financial accounts, insurance policies and royalties”.
Coolio was cremated after his death and TMZ.com reported his ashes were placed into pendants, which were then given to his kids.
