It has been authenticated that at the age of 43, Gangsta Boo was discovered deceased in her residence on January 1, 2023, at approximately 4 p.m.
Nevertheless, sources close to the rapper have indicated that she died after consuming an excessive amount of drugs the prior evening while attending a performance with her brother.
Even though they both attended one performance together, thankfully, her brother has since recuperated and is in good health. Preliminary accounts indicate that Gangsta Boo had drugs and items with fentanyl on her when she passed away.
Accordingly, an authorized police probe into the circumstances of her death is currently underway.
The sorrowful passing of rapper Gangsta Boo was confirmed by her labelmate DJ Paul, who shared a memorial photo of the hip-hop icon on Instagram.
Various well-known artists conveyed their sympathies, although the details regarding her death remain opaque.
The last post captured before her death depicted Mitchell’s enthusiasm for the things she had achieved in 2022, yet a substance believed to be laced with fentanyl is suspected to have been involved in her premature passing.
Notwithstanding, her memory will endure with all who knew and adored her for years.
