Rap star Coolio says he was “tricked” into participating in a program where people were “screaming and hollering” at him. He was featured in the Fox show “Celebrity Boot Camp,” which puts stars through stressful and rigorous training, reports Zap2it TV News.

Coolio said they used “brainwashing techniques like sleep deprivation” and added, “the training is designed to create instantaneous obedience.”

Hmmm, sounds a bit like some “cults”?

Perhaps this show allowed participants and the audience to get a taste of cult life? Interestingly, it seems that the tough guy rapper succumbed to peer pressure. Despite the stress and abuse Coolio said, “I just stayed because nobody else quit” and admitted taht even he was vulnerable or “soft,” regarding coercive persuasion.

But the rapper doesn’t want to do a rerun, “I finished my tour,” he stated bluntly.

Some of Coolio’s fans may not be so lucky. Many teens remain in controversial “boot camps” supposedly designed to correct them. And though some may wish to leave, they cannot decide when to end their “tour.” It’s doubtful that Fox will do a show about this subject for its entertainment value.
