It has been confirmed that at the age of 43, Gangsta Boo was found dead in her house on January 1, 2023, at about 4 p.m.

However, it’s been reported by sources close to the rapper that she passed away after overdosing on drugs the previous night while attending a performance with her brother.

Though they both attended one performance together, fortunately, her brother has since recovered and is doing well. Initial reports suggest that Gangsta Boo had drugs and items with fentanyl on her when she passed away.

As such, an official police investigation into the circumstances of her death is underway.

The tragic passing of rapper Gangsta Boo was confirmed by her labelmate DJ Paul, who posted a memorial photo of the hip-hop icon on Instagram.

Several well-known artists sent their condolences, though the circumstances of her death remain a mystery.

The last post captured before her death showed Mitchell’s enthusiasm for the things she had accomplished in 2022, yet a substance believed to be laced with fentanyl is suspected of having been involved in her untimely demise. 

Nonetheless, her memory will live on with all who knew and loved her for years.
