Coolio thinks the Jeopardy! contestant shouldn’t have lost prize money for saying “Gangster’s Paradise” (http://www.tmz.com/2018/01/02/coolio-jeopardy-gangstas-paradise-mispronunciation/)
“I probably would have gave it to him,” the rapper tells TMZ, adding a word of advice to white people: “The ‘er’ will always get you in trouble.” ALSO: Jeopardy! producer explains the “Gansta’s Paradise” decision -- and looking back at other costly Jeopardy! mispronunciations.
