The late and legendary rapper Coolio was renowned for being quite the ladies’ man.
But throughout his great career, one woman—his ex-wife Josefa Salinas—remained a pillar of stability in his life.
Who is Josefa Salinas?
Rapper Gangsta’s Paradise’s ex-wife is named Josefa Salinas.
Before being married, she dated Coolio for about ten years after they first started dating in 1987.
Josefa was well-known in the California music industry and had developed a fan base as a media personality.
During her 30-year tenure as a regular presenter on radio stations KQIE-FM, HOT 92.3, and Power 106, she charmed listeners throughout the state.
In the course of her years of radio broadcasts, the mother earned the nickname “Angel of the Night.”
She became a reputable spokesperson for Latinos, women, and children by using her position to bring attention to charity issues.
Former US President Barack Obama has earlier given her the President’s Volunteer Service Award.
Josefa was appointed to the Los Angeles Commission by Mayor Eric Garcetti four years ago, and she presently holds that position.
In addition, she has written three books, including 101 Things to Know Before You Date My Daughter, My Best Friend, or Me.
Josefa remained steadfastly at his side as Coolio started to gain notoriety.
After four years of marriage, the couple called it quits. The couple got hitched in 1996.
Together, the couple welcomed four children during their relationship: three daughters and a son.
