A one-time member of Three 6 Mafia, Gangsta Boo, passed away at 43. She was found dead in her hometown of Memphis on January 1, 2-23, around 4 pm. Her official cause of death was not made available at the time of writing this article.
The Southern rap star’s death was confirmed by DJ Paul Kom, a former labelmate, who took to Instagram and posted an image of her. The comment section was flooded with tributes.
Those close to Gangsta Boo revealed to TMZ that the singer’s death appeared to be drug-related. She was in the company of her brother at a local concert in Memphis. It was revealed that her brother began overdosing on a substance. It called for subsequent hospitalisation.
Sources close to the rapper told the publication that although the sibling ended up being okay, narcotics were found on Gangsta Boo. It has been believed that “a fentanyl-laced substance” played a role in the rapper’s death.
However, it is important to note that the police have not confirmed that this was the reason behind her passing.
Did Gangsta Boo have a boyfriend? Everything to know about Emmet Flores and their Marriage Boot Camp appearance
Gangsta Boo, whose real name is Lola Chantrelle Mitchell, often kept her relationship from the limelight. However, avid followers are well aware that she was in a long-term relationship with Emmet Flores at the time of her death.
Emmet Flores is best known as the host of the Kush and Chemtrails podcast. He has amassed over 1,508 followers on his official Instagram page, where he mostly promotes his podcast.
The couple shared details of their relationship on WEtv’s Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition show in 2022. In one episode, the duo appeared before Judge Lynn Toler to discuss problems in their relationship.
When asked what Gangsta Boo wanted from Flores, she said she wished she would get more respect from her partner. She explained:
“I want him to hear my voice as a Black woman… he always cut me off… he just thinks he knows it all, like when I’m talking he’s automatically thinking of a reply.”
Flores responded to the issue by explaining that their problems stemmed from his insecurity of not having control over situations. He revealed on the show:
“When you say certain things to me, you emasculate me. I got a lot of insecurities about my manhood growing up without a dad.”
The pair were kicked out of the show after it was discovered that Gangsta Boo was in possession of narcotics. The show’s host Dr. Ish Major, a board-certified psychiatrist, television show host, and relationship coach, found contraband in the couple’s room.
Following the dismissal. Gangsta Boo slammed Dr. Ish in a now-deleted Instagram post by saying:
“This is #mentalhealthawareness month so if you care so much about ppl health, with SO much ‘concern and sincerity,’ why did YOU noticeably allow ppl to be on prescription meds while drinking alcohol in front of you?? Everything was on camera. Don’t pretend like you didn’t know. You actually owe the ppl who suffer from these things in the dark A DEEP APOLOGY. It was a bit insensitive and wrong DOC."
At the time of writing this article, Flores had not publicly addressed the death of his now-late girlfriend on social media.
