The Memphis hip-hop community is mourning the death of Three 6 Mafia member Gangsta Boo.
According to a Fox13memphis.com report, Gangsta Boo was found dead on Sunday (Jan. 1) at 4 p.m. The local media outlet confirmed the news with three independent sources.
Meanwhile, Three 6 Mafia founder DJ Paul went on his Instagram page today and confirmed the sad news that Gangsta Boo had passed away. DJ Paul posted a photo of Boo behind an iDJ console holding a blunt in her hand. The cause of death has not been disclosed. She was 43 years old.
Sadly, Gangsta Boo is the third member from the illustrious Memphis rap group to have passed away. Lord Infamous, born Ricky T. Dunigan, died in 2013 and Koopsta Knicca, born Robert Phillips, transitioned in 2015.
When it comes to women in the southern rap scene, no voice was more pivotal and influential than Gangsta Boo’s. She was a lyrical firebrand that could tear the club up better than any man and hold her own lyrically next to her Three 6 Mafia brethren.
Gangsta Boo, born Lola Chantrelle Mitchell, was the second female member to be a part of the Three 6 Mafia family. She made her first rap appearance at the age of 15 on “Tear Da Club Up (Da Real)” from the group’s 1995 debut album, Mystic Styles.
