Gangsta Boo, Iconic Female Rapper and Former Member of Three 6 Mafia, Passes Away

Memphis Fox 13 News reported that Gangsta Boo, whose real name is Lola Mitchell, was found dead at approximately 4 PM CST in Memphis. At press time, there was no official word on the cause of her death. Gangsta Boo was seen attending a New Year’s Eve party on Saturday evening via Instagram stories.

Artists across the nation have shared their condolences on social media following the news of Boo’s passing. Gangsta Boo was the second female member of the iconic Memphis rap group Three 6 Mafia, which also included DJ Paul, Juicy J, and Chunky Black. She joined the group at 15 years old and is best known for her contributions to Dirty South classics “Where Dem Dollas At” and “Yeah Hoe.” In 2002, she left Three 6 Mafia to pursue a solo career that has been idolized by many contemporary female hip-hop stars.

Recent Collaborations and Interviews

Gangsta Boo recently sat down with Nore and DJ EFN on the popular Drink Champs podcast to share her journey and impact on today’s hip hop. She also collaborated with Latto and fellow Memphis rapper GloRilla on the new hit “FTCU,” which was released last month on Streamcut/RCA Records. In a recent interview, Boo spoke about the collaboration with Latto and her support for other female rappers: “I always see her mentioning my name when they ask her who were some of her inspirations, and when she talked about her dad, she told me that her dad used to support a lot of female rappers and I was one of them…Anytime I can contribute and support any female rapper that I like, that like me back, I’m always down for it.”

Gangsta Boo’s death marks the first hip-hop death of 2023.
