Gangsta Boo Boyfriend Emmet

Gangsta Boo was in a longtime relationship with her boyfriend Emmet Flores at the time of her death.

Emmet Flores is best known as the host of the Kush and Chemtrails podcast.

The couple shared details of their relationship on WEtv’s Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition show in 2022.

In one episode, the Gangsta Boo and her boyfriend appeared before Judge Lynn Toler to discuss problems in their relationship.

When asked what Gangsta Boo wanted from Flores, she said she wished she would get more respect from her partner.

She 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.”

Flores responded to the issue by explaining that their problems stemmed from his insecurity of not having control over situations. He revealed on the show:

“When you say certain things to me, you emasculate me. I got a lot of insecurities about my manhood growing up without a dad.”

Gangsta Boo time on Marriage Boot Camp showed things that might have foreshadowed her demise, such as when Dr Ish found a ‘white substance’ in her room.

The rapper would later call out Dr Ish of Marriage Boot camp over the incident.

The drama started after the marriage boot camp therapist confronted Gangsta Boo and her longtime partner Emmett about the white, powdery substance allegedly discovered beside a lamp on a table.

The rapstress became visibly upset and immediately denied knowing what the substance was, as Dr. Ish encouraged her to get “help” if she was actually struggling with some sort of addiction.

After the episode aired, Gangsta Boo took to her social media accounts to slam Dr. Ish, suggesting that he took the wrong approach when bringing up the topic.

“You would think that someone like @drish would have a better choice of delivery, when he is trying to be all ‘professional,’” she wrote in the since-deleted Instagram post. “Not sure if he just a TV ‘Dr’ when the cameras are on or in real life when they are off.

“This is #mentalhealthawareness month so if you care so much about ppl health, with SO much ‘concern and sincerity,’ why did YOU noticeably allow ppl to be on prescription meds while drinking alcohol in front of you?? Everything was on camera. Don’t pretend like you didn’t know.”

She also added that she wouldn’t dare recommend anyone to Dr. Ish, even if they were “desperate” for therapy. She went on to say, “You actually owe the ppl who suffer from these things in the dark A DEEP APOLOGY. It was a bit insensitive and wrong DOC.”

“Someone may see you say what ur saying and be scared to get help in fear of being looked at as a substance abuser or judged by people. I actually have a REAL therapist who would NEVER attach personality disorders to substance abuse so freely or allow patients to indulge in alcohol on prescription meds in front of them.”

She ended with, “Do you know how dangerous and unsafe that is? Could be fatal for some. Did you not care about that? Don’t pick and choose when you wanna be on patrol to be this health concern doctor. Should be a 24 hr. thing. I used to respect you. I have zero respect for you now or your kind. Are you even married? Let’s be clear. Do better homeboy.”

Boo later tweeted, “Side Bar: Oh and I don’t take anyone serious who watch ppl drink and party on prescription meds. The danger in that alone is wild. Back to this Verzuz.”
