Memphis rapper Gangsta Boo, a former member of the Three 6 Mafia camp who now rolls with the Drum Squad, is denying involvement in the July robbery of a dollar store in Olive Branch*, AOL's The Boombox blog reports.
Boo, real name Lola Mitchell, turned herself in to authorities two days ago and was released on $100,000 bond after being charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery.
Marcus Curtis, 30, was charged with armed robbery in the case. He is being held in the DeSoto County Jail in Hernando on $100,000 bond.
Boo proclaimed her innocence throughout today on her Twitter page, where she also retweeted dozens of messages of support from friends and fans. The rapper also joked that the publicity about her alleged involvement in the robbery has provided her with free publicity for her Rumors mixtape. She announced that she is working on a new mixtape inspired by the saga, "Rumors Part 2: The State vs. Lola Mitchell."
Boo was to release today at 5 a statement explaining the matter. I'll update this post as soon as I hear anything further.
UPDATE: The statement sent to local media ...

"I, Lola C. Mitchell pka Gangsta Boo, was not, I repeat, was not involved in any kind of conspiracy of any kind involving a robbery.
I am being implicated false on statements and terms. I have no connections with any unlawful activities with the suspect Marcus Curtis or anyone else involved in this matter.
I was neither questioned nor informed of any such charges brought against me before a warrant was issued which lead me to turn myself in.
I feel like I have been publicly slandered and targeted because of my career, I am innocent on all charges and the truth will prevail in the end."

I have never heard of "Gangsta Boo" nor am I familiar with her career. I am, however, familiar with the fact that in most cases when a public figure is accused of a crime, and says words to the effect that "the truth will prevail" or "I'll have my day in court and will be vindicated", they wind up doing the perp walk and head for the pokey.
If this young woman is innocent, then I hope she is found to be so. If not, I pray that she is punished to fullest extent of the law. That's the price you pay for being a "gangsta""
You raise the right points, though It looks like your own analysis is most probably off base, extremely good report though, great job. Anna
