Coolio Auctioning Off Music Rights


90s hip hop star Coolio is auctioning off his royalties to finance his new career as a chef...

Coolio is auctioning off his full song portfolio including "Gangstas Paradise" through The Royalty Exchange in an auction that begins at noon on Aug 28.

The five time Grammy winner intends to use the funds from the auction to finance a cookbook and expand his online cooking show.

In 2009, after an appearance on the Food Network's 'Celebrity Chefs', Coolio released a cookbook, 'Cooking with Coolio' that became a New York Times best seller.

Bidding starts at $140,000.
