The net worth of Gangsta Boo, at the time of her death in 2023, is estimated to be $1 million.
On January 1, 2023, Lola C. Mitchell, alias Gangsta Boo, passed away at the age of 43. Gangsta Boo was born in Whitehaven, South Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee, in August 1979. She was a part of the hip-hop crew Three 6 Mafia from 1995 to 2001. The group's first studio album, Mystic Stylez, came out in 1995. Chapter 1: The End and Chapter 2: World Domination were then released, respectively, in 1996 and 1997.
When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6 and Sixty 1 by Three 6 Mafia was released in 2000, and it peaked at number two on the US R&B chart and number six on the Billboard 200 chart. 2001 saw the Choices: The Album's release, and it peaked at #4 on the US R&B chart.
The solo albums Enquiring Minds, Both Worlds '69, and Enquiring Minds II: The Soap Opera by Gangsta Boo were all released between 1998 and 2003. Additionally, she appeared on the albums Witch by La Chat, Hypnotize Camp Posse, and Body Parts by Prophet Posse.
How was Gangsta Boo’s impact after Three 6 Mafia?
Gangsta Boo changed her name to “Lady Boo” the same year because, in her words, she was no longer "living the gangster lifestyle" and wished to be more in line with God. However, her website continued to refer to her as "Gangsta Boo" at the time of her passing.
Gangsta Boo worked with many rappers later in her career, particularly those with Southern roots. She told Billboard last year that "as far as female hip-hop and rap are concerned, I think it’s in a good space." "They say Gangsta Boo walked, so a lot of people can run," she added.
As she grew older, Mitchell thought back on being one of the first female rappers to capitalize on the gangster rap sound and image that gained popularity in the 1990s, singing songs about smoking, getting her own back, and having evil intentions—themes that are typically associated with men.
"A lot of guys in Memphis were like, Gangsta Pat,’ ‘Gangsta Black,’ gangsta this, gangsta that," she told All Urban Central. But toward the end of her life, the moniker had taken on an enhanced meaning. "It’s more, you know, just enjoying my life as a legendary gangster," she said.
How did Gangsta Boo die?
At the age of 43, Mitchell was discovered dead on January 1, 2023, at her home in Memphis, Tennessee. The cause of death wasn't made known right away. There was no evidence of foul play, according to the police.
According to sources close to Mitchell, she partied the night before with her brother, who allegedly overdosed after consuming cocaine that was, unbeknownst to him, laced with fentanyl. Despite the fact that Mitchell's brother used the same batch of cocaine a short time later and overdosed to her death, her brother lived and was discharged from the hospital.
