Gangsta Boo, 43 Found Dead in Memphis, Cause of Death Unknown

Gangsta Boo, a former member of the hip hop group Three 6 Mafia, passed away at the age of 43, according to her label-mate DJ Paul K.O.M. Her death cause is unknown.

Gangsta Boo, born Lola Mitchell, was discovered dead Sunday afternoon around 4:00 p.m. local time, according to Fox 13 in Memphis, Tennessee. FOX13 confirmed the news with three independent sources.

After K-9, Gangsta Boo was the second female member of Three 6 Mafia. She went on to release several solo albums as well as appear on the group’s first five studio albums.

Gangsta Boo’s career began in the 1990s, when she joined Paul, Juicy J, and other founding members of the rap group, which included Lord Infamous, Crunchy Black, Koopsta Knicca, and others. Gangsta Boo was the crew’s only female rapper, but she held her own and blazed her own path for years as a member of T6M.

In addition to her own solo albums, which were receiving critical acclaim at the time, Gangsta was featured on Three 6 Mafia’s first five studio albums, including their debut record in ’95, “Mystic Stylez,” as well as other notable projects like ‘Chapter 1,’ ‘When the Smoke Clears,’ and even the ‘Choices’ album, which served as the soundtrack to the film.

Gangsta Boo left Three 6 in the early 2000s, but he went on to have a successful solo career, releasing another solo studio album and several mixtapes throughout the rest of the aughts and 2010s. This, of course, does not include the countless features she’s worked on with rap legends like Gucci Mane, Lil Jon, OutKast, E-40, T.I., The Game, and others.

She rapped well into the 2020s, frequently collaborating with Killer Mike and El-P in their hip hop duo Run The Jewels. Gangsta Boo was also continuing to collaborate with various media outlets to release music, such as UPROXX and others.

Gangsta Boo was a fixture in the Memphis community and music scene, and he appears to have been well-liked by the locals. She was recently active on social media.

MEXICO CITY — Maná, a Mexican pop-rock band, has pulled a 2016 song featuring Nicky Jam after the Puerto Rican reggaeton artist declared support for Republican presidential contender Donald Trump.

“Maná does not work with racists,” the group stated in an Instagram post explaining why they removed “De pies a cabeza” from online platforms. The song is a remix of the 1992 original from Maná’s iconic album “¿Dónde jugarán los niños?”

“For the past 30 years, Maná has supported and defended the rights of Latinos around the world. “No business or promotion is more valuable than the dignity of our people,” the band stated on Instagram.

Maná Removes Song With Nicky Jam In Protest Of His Support For Trump

Jam, best known for songs like “Travesuras,” “Voy a Beber,” and the J Balvin collaboration “X,” endorsed Trump during a rally in Las Vegas last Friday. When presenting the artist, Trump appeared to mistake him for a woman: “Latin Music superstar Nicky Jam!” Do you know Nicky? She’s hot. “Where is Nicky?” he asked.

Despite the uncertainty, Jam expressed his excitement in seeing Trump, who has threatened to close the border and has employed harsh anti-immigrant language since his first presidential campaign.

For more than 20 years, Maná has advocated for migrants in the United States. When they received the Latin Recording Academy’s Person of the Year award in 2018, its vocalist Fher Olvera promised: “We will continue to fight for the rights of migrants who have made this country great; in the last century, they were the difference in this country being as great as it is.”

A spokeswoman for Jam did not immediately reply to The Associated Press’s request for comment. Maná’s publicist acknowledged the band’s statement but declined to comment further.

Jane’s Addiction Cancels Its tour After Onstage Concert Fracas

The band is most known for the edgy, punk-inspired singles “Jane Says,” “Been Caught Stealing,” and “Just Because” from the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the alternative rock and grunge music movements were emerging. It had three Top 5 hits on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay list.

“Perry’s frustration had been mounting, night after night, he felt that the stage volume had been extremely loud and his voice was being drowned out by the band,” Etty Lau Farrell, Farrell’s wife, wrote in an Instagram post Saturday morning.

She stated that her husband had tinnitus and a sore throat, and “by the end of the song, he wasn’t singing, he was screaming just to be heard.” She stated that her spouse later broke down “and cried and cried.”

The band’s “Imminent Redemption” tour, which featured opening act English rock band Love and Rockets, began in early August and was scheduled to end on October 16 at the YouTube Theatre in Los Angeles.

Dave Grohl, the frontman of the Foo Fighters, has disclosed that he has become the father of a baby girl who was delivered outside of his marriage to his wife Jordyn Blum whom he married in 2003. Grohl has three daughters with Jordyn.

According to USA Today, Blum and Dave Grohl made a rare public appearance in July at the Wimbledon Championships in London.

During the Recording Academy’s Special Merit Award ceremony in February 2023, Pat Smear, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl were each given a lifetime achievement award.

In promotion of their 2023 album “But Here We Are,” the rockers’ Everything Or Nothing at All Tour came to a close last month.
