In an Instagram Story, Thompson wrote, "Damn homie!!! Rest in power!!!" above a picture of Coolio. Meanwhile, Mitchell wrote a touching message in an Instagram post featuring videos of Coolio and a photo of him with the late rapper. "Rest in Heaven @coolio ! We recently spoke a few months ago laughing and having such a good time," he wrote in a caption. "So many great memories with you bro! That time first meeting you on 'All That' cracking up in a 'Good Burger' sketch then you bringing me on stage after your performance to freestyle. Then later creating the legendary 'Kenan and Kel' theme song for @kenanthompson and I."
Mitchell concluded his post by writing, ". . . Last thing you told me when we last spoke a few months ago you told me you loved how I keep things positive and to keep doing that. I will Coolio and thank you for sharing your light and your talent with us all and thank you for inspiring so many in your lyrics. Be at peace in the hands of our Heavenly Father and praying God comforts your family during this time. Much love bro!!! 🙏🏾🙌🏽💪🏾."
