At least he seems to have grown past it and turned out better for it. Some folks stay stuck their whole lives

Al had permission. Same story with Lady GaGa - gave permission, then retracted it. He always asks: If you don't want it done, don't give permission up front.

Honestly if Weird Al picks up one of your songs and plays with it, you gotta roll with it... no award in the world is gonna tell people that you made it like having a Weird Al parody.

Someone should have stopped him from saying that stupid thing... Good life lesson there. If someone is being stupid, say something.

Why would Coolio have a beef with Weird Al? Didn't Coolio basically just steal the Stevie Wonder song Past Time Paradise and change the words, like Al changed the words to Coolio's version?

re-earned his moniker

Awesome for realizing you were wrong, but then you turned around and blamed the people you famously hired as yesmen.
