The viral Jeopardy! failure, which is still being widely shared in all its horrendous glory, ultimately resulted in Nick losing out on $3,200. Though Coolio would have given Nick the answer and money if in a judge's position, he told the professional pryers at TMZ Tuesday there's still plenty to learn from Nick's fuck-up.
"I probably would have gave it to him," Coolio said. "But let me explain something to you, and this is for white people. The 'e-r' will always get you in trouble. Never use the 'e-r.' If you don't have to use the 'e-r,' don't use it. That's a lesson for him . . . I think that it's a good lesson to never use the 'e-r.'"
Coolio has been a bit of a headline staple recently, last popping up in December to share his thoughts on how a brain-dead wannabe tyrant might respond to being lyrically dragged by Eminem. "[Trump] might do anything," Coolio toldTMZ while they bothered him at LAX. "Ain't no telling. He might have Eminem killed. You never know. Don't be surprised if Eminem pull up dead."
