Coolio's Son Grtis Ivey Sentenced, Faces Major Jail Time for Robbery

It may be awhile before Coolio's eldest son Grtis Ivey is out from behind bars. Ivey was charged in November 2011, for staging a heist in a Las Vegas apartment. Now, due to a plea deal, he faces some serious jail time.

According to TMZ, the "Gangsta's Paradise" rapper's son stormed the dwelling armed with a gun. Ivey forced the tenant to stay in the bathroom while the 22-year-old's "female prostitute friend" took apart the home, searching for valuables.

Earlier this week, Ivey agreed to the plea deal. He plead guilty to a felony robbery charge. In exchange, prosecutors will drop the remaining felonies against the hip-hopper's troubled son.

Ivey could serve between 42 months and 10 years in prison.

If you put a parent advisory label on the albums, that should tell you it is a piece of crap.

He should be in prison just in time for the annual "Give a Thug a Hug" week.

Gangsta's Paradise.
I guess brotha Obama's handouts wasn't enough.
Of course it is the white mans fault.
I hope he stays in for the 10 years.

This is just another case of the WHITE man keeping a brutha down. I want to see the proof of the crime and I know he is innocent. Everybody always blames the brutha. Free him now........

Just another person who wants something for free rather than work for it like most people. I'm sure he has a priviledged life compared to most people and he still has to steal. Another loser.

Maybe coolio should have spent more time on his son, rather than his rap crap.
