On Sunday (Jan. 15), DJ Paul, of Three 6 Mafia fame, jumped on his Instagram page and posted an angry video aimed at people who were questioning why he didn’t attend Gangsta Boo’s funeral, which took place at Brown Missionary Baptist Church in Southaven, Miss. on Jan. 14.
Scenes during the funeral of Lola “Gangsta Boo” Mitchell at Brown Missionary Baptist Church on January 14, 2023 in Southaven, Mississippi. Mitchell, a member of Three 6 Mafia, was found dead at the age of 43 at a home in Memphis on January 1, 2023.
In the clip, DJ Paul explained that he didn’t attend Boo’s funeral service because he was on tour and that he doesn’t attend funerals in general. However, despite his absence, the veteran rapper said he paid for her funeral services.
“Lemme explain something to y’all bitch-ass niggas out there who got something to say about me not coming to Boo funeral,” he snapped. “Nigga, I paid for the funeral, hoe! I’m on muthafuckin’ tour and even if I wasn’t, I don’t do funerals, nigga.”
“The last time I was at a funeral, it wasn’t nothing but a bunch of groupie-ass muthafuckin’ niggas up in that muthafucka,” he continued. “Boo know how much I loved her, I know how much she loved me, nigga. I ain’t got nothin’ to prove to none of you punk-ass, groupie-ass niggas up in there.”
DJ Paul also reminded viewers that he discovered Gangsta Boo and enlisted her to join Three 6 Mafia.
“’Cause it wouldn’t be nothin’ but about four or five muthafuckas in there if it wasn’t for who I created. Nigga, what I created,” he stated. “The teenage girl I found. Nigga, I’m the one that wrote ‘Where Dem Dollas At’ hook, nigga.”
“I’m the one who was writing and producing that shit,” he continued. “Yeah, she did her verses, she did some hooks. Juicy [J] was doing beats, he was doing hooks. But I discovered her, nigga. I went to school with her, she went to school with me.”
DJ Paul also addressed people criticizing the coffin for Gangsta Boo, which many felt that it looked plain and cheap. According to the “Stay Fly” rapper, Boo’s family decided to cremate her body after the funeral, as part of their family’s tradition, so there wasn’t a need for an expensive coffin.
