Coolio, the American rapper known for his '90s hit Gangsta's Paradise, spoke about life as a grandfather in one of his last television interviews just six months ago.

The musician and father of 10, whose real name was Artis Leon Ivey Jr, died at a friend's house in Los Angeles on Wednesday at the age of 59.

He revealed on Australian TV show Today Extra in March that he had five young grandchildren, which left hosts Sylvia Jeffreys and David Campbell visibly surprised.

Coolio was in Melbourne promoting the Made in the '90s Festival, a nostalgia concert tour featuring popular artists from the early 1990s.

He was asked what his children thought of his popular online cooking show, and replied: 'They like it. "Daddy, can you cook this for me?" "Daddy, can you make that for me?" It hasn't changed. My kids are all grown-ups. I have five grandchildren now.'

Jeffreys and Campbell were shocked that Coolio had so many grandchildren in his fifties.

Campbell then asked Coolio what his grandchildren thought of his rap career. 

He said they were still 'babies' and 'haven't figured it out yet', before expressing his hope that they grow up to become involved in music somehow.
