AceShowbiz - Gangsta Boo has sadly passed away. The former Three 6 Mafia rapper was found lifeless on Sunday, January 1. And now, a video circulating on social media saw the 43-year-old femcee's home being secured with police line as she allegedly died from an overdose.
The said footage saw her home in Memphis being surrounded by a few cops' cars. According to TMZ, her sudden death appeared to be drug-related with a source telling the outlet that she was with her brother last night at a local concert and that her sibling started to overdose sometime in the night, requiring hospitalization.
While her brother ended up being okay, it's reported that people familiar with Gangsta Boo's death scene insisted narcotics were found on her body and that a fentanyl-laced substance is believed to be at play.
It's also said that the police are launching an official investigation. An autopsy obviously needs to be done as well to see what the exact cause of death is.
