Who is Gangsta Boo’s partner Emmet Flores?
When Gangsta Boo was not in the studio, she could often be found at home, spending time with her partner.
Outside of being known as Gangsta Boo’s partner, he is known as the host of the Kush and Chemtrails podcast.
Over the years, the pair would often keep details of their relationship out of the media, but fans were able to get an inside look after they appeared on WEtv’s Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition in 2022.
While on the show, the pair appeared before Judge Lynn Toler in an attempt to work out their issues.
When Judge Toler asked Boo what she wanted from Emmet in the future, she revealed that she wanted more respect.
“Put some respect on my name,” she said at the time, “I want him to respect me more.”
She then explained: “[I want him] to hear my voice as a Black woman.”
“… He always cut me off… He just thinks he knows it all, like when I’m talking he’s automatically thinking of a reply.”
The judge then asked Emmet why he was there, and he explained that their issues stemmed from miscommunication and control problems.
“When you say certain things to me, you emasculate me,” he said.

Despite the heated conversation, the pair left to show together and appeared to be dating until her sudden death.

Gangsta Boo was found dead around 4pm on January 1, 2023, according to Fox13.
