COOLIO says he will take off his shoes and jewellery before mixing with fans at his upcoming UK shows after having items stolen during a previous visit.
The rapper will perform in London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Belfast and Glasgow as part of the I Love The 90s tour this autumn.
He told the Press Association he would “absolutely” talk to fans – but would take precautions.
Coolio had his shoes and accessories stolen after diving into the crowd during a show at Staffordshire University in 2009.
“I consider my UK fans, friends and fellow artists as family,” the 53-year-old told PA. “Most of the time I enjoy coming, apart from that one time.”
Coolio, whose hits include Gangsta’s Paradise and C U When U Get There, has pledged to play new material at the UK shows.
Also performing on the I Love The 90s tour are Vanilla Ice, Salt-N-Pepa and Young MC. news.sky.com
