In a recently aired interview with WREG Memphis, family members said the rapper’s death wasn’t the product of foul play, and Delmar Lawrence, a close friend of Boo, said she had a ton of plans for 2023. “She loved what she wanted to do, she had so many plans, so many dreams about what she wanted to do for 2023. I mean she told me about ’em 3 days ago,” Lawrence explained, adding that the early Memphis rapper had started to feel depressed just before she passed away.
“She lost her father and that was a very big blow for her. She was a daddy’s girl and it was many nights I prayed with her and just talked her through her grief. So I’m glad to know she’s at peace.”
