According to Coolio, gossip media outlets went too far on its reporting of him and the porn site.

“I don’t know why TMZ always has to do that bullsh*t, man,” says Coolio. “I let them into the video shoot willingly and then the first thing they do is talk bullsh*t about me and try to make me look bad. They were trying to say it was my comeback. Man, I ain’t trying to make no f*ckin’ comeback off some porn.” (Rolling Stone)

The West Coast native also discussed speculation of the adult site exclusively premiering his new music.

“I don’t know where that came from. If they pay me enough money, f*ck yeah, I’ll do an album exclusively for Pornhub. At this point in my career, bro, I don’t have nothing to prove to nobody. I’ve proved everything. I just have to prove some shit to my banker. I have to prove to that motherf*cker I can put more zeroes in my account. They constantly come at me on some foul sh*t. I talked to [TMZ founder] Harvey [Levin] personally, who said, “Yeah, I really like you, Coolio.” Well, you don’t f*ckin’ act like it.” (Rolling Stone)

PornHub PR head Matt Blake has also provided insight on the confusion.

“We threw a party at a strip club during the AVN Awards, and we invited Coolio,” said Blake. “We had some drinks, and I pitched him the idea of coming out with new music on PornHub. He loved it.” … “The way TMZ spun it,” Blake said, “they made it seem like we have the exclusive forever [on his music], which isn’t true — him and I have spoken about this, at the end of the day it’s all about money. It would depend how much exposure it generates. If it works, we’ll go forward. We love Coolio, he was a great sport. If he wants to do again, we’ll be more than happy to set it up.” (Billboard)

Details of the rapper’s unexpected PornHub hook-up surfaced online early Tuesday (July 22).

Coolio is banking on a whole lotta ass making him a player in the music biz again — he’s teamed up with a porn website for his new music video … and it’s filled with wet t-shirts, garden hoses, twerking dinosaurs … and even Coolio. Coolio tells TMZ … Pornhub.com agreed to provide all the “talent” for his video — “Take it to the Hub” — and in exchange he’s going to debut all his new music on the website. (TMZ)
