Reasons behind Gangsta Boo leaving Three Mafia 6
Gangsta Boo gained recognition as a member of Three Mafia 6. She was a member of the group since it was formed, and she reportedly left it in 2003.
The reason behind her departure is believed to be some financial disputes and problems that cropped up during the promotion of her second album, Both Worlds *69. While speaking to MTV in 2001, Boo said that she did not have any issues with the band and that sometimes, things do not last together for long. She continued,
“It’s still the same. I just kind of grew apart, and I’m not doing things that they’re doing. I’m not cursing in my music no more. We just grew apart like a marriage.”
She stated that she found god because of this. She wanted to remove Gangsta from her name and change her name to Lady Boo. According to Boo, she was not living a gangster lifestyle, but everyone told her that it fit her perfectly. She said that she was young and mature and used to rap Lady Boo, which became a code name.
So considering everything, she left the group because she felt that her image that was being brought up in front of everyone was completely wrong.
