Female rap pioneer Lola Chantrell Mitchell — Three 6 Mafia’s Gangsta Boo — has died at the age of 43.

Memphis, Tennessee, FOX affiliate FOX13 reported The rapper was reported to have been found dead around 4 p.m. on Sunday. However, no cause of death has been officially announced.

According to a report from entertainment website TMZ, Mitchell’s former label mate DJ Paul appeared to confirm that she had passed away, sharing a photo of her via Instagram late on Sunday afternoon.

Gangsta Boo worked with other rappers like Paul, Juicy J, Lord Infamous, Crunchy Black, and Koopsta Knicca — and was featured on the rap group’s first 5 studio albums, including their debut record. She made a name for her self with solo projects.

Twitter began to flood with tributes to the pioneering artist shortly after the news broke.

“Rest In Peace Gangsta Boo The first lady of Three 6 Mafia,” Andrew Barber tweeted. “An incredible artist who could ride a beat like no other & transcended generations in a fickle business. Her solo debut ‘Enquiring Minds’ remains one of the best of the Hypnotize Minds canon. Peace & love to her family.”

“Gangsta Boo wasn’t just this pioneer for women in rap. She was a foundational figure in music. you’d never know just by talking to her, because she was such a sweet, self-effacing person who’d never tout her many accomplishments unbidden. This is just f***ing awful,” another said.

Singer K. Michelle added, “You already know what it is. We FOREVER! Broke my whole heart today sis. I love you. #Memphis R.I.P. Gangsta Boo.”
