<p>The deaths of rappers <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/?s=gangsta&;post_type=post" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Gangsta Boo</strong></a> and <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/?s=lil+keed+&;post_type=post" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lil Keed</strong></a> were unceremoniously and surreptitiously omitted from this years Grammys &#8216;In Memoriam&#8217; tribute, and social media did not hold back in reacting to their absences.</p>
<p>On Sunday (Feb. 5), the ceremony held its annual segment where the academy honors those artists who died in 2022.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Numerous Slain, Late Rappers Honored During Sunday&#8217;s Grammys, Except For Gangsta Boo &; Lil Keed</h3>
<p>Among those who received their flowers this year were Takeoff, Coolie, and DJ Kay Slay.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the 43-year-old Memphis rap pioneer Gangsta Boo&#8217;s name was oddly absent during Sunday&#8217;s memorial tribute.</p>
<p>Boo, whose real name is Lola Mitchell, was found dead on Jan. 1 in a neighborhood west of Memphis International Airport. Authorities believe she may have overdosed, with narcotics allegedly found on her person at her time of death, as previously reported by <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/three-6-mafias-gangsta-boo-reportedly-died-from-possible-overdose-rappers-body-found-with-narcotics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>The Shade Room</strong></a>.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Twitter Lashes Out At Grammy Awards For Omitting Gangsta Boo From Memorial Tribute</h3>
<blockquote><p>One user felt that “leaving out Gangsta Boo, one of the pioneers of Southern female rap, from the GRAMMY memoriam segment is a sin and a shame.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Another commenter called the unfortunate situation “unacceptable and so disrespectful.”</p>
<p>A third user noted that Gangsta Boo may have been omitted due to her officially dying in 2023 and not last year as is custom during the Grammy Awards.</p>
<blockquote><p>“My wife theorized that maybe Gangsta Boo will be up there at the next Grammys due to her technically passing in 2023. they have a year to get it right.”</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">YSL Rapper Lil Keed Also Noticeably Left Out Of Grammy&#8217;s 2022 Memorial Tribute, Rans React</h3>
<p>Meanwhile, YSL rapper Lil Keed&#8217;s cause of death has been revealed after he died suddenly last year, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/coroner-confirms-ysl-rapper-lil-keeds-cause-of-death/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>The Shade Room</strong></a> previously reported.</p>
<p>The 24-year-old, whose death has been linked to the rare condition of eosinophilia, was also notably absent during the memorial Grammy tributes on Sunday.</p>
<p>Fans similarly came to the late rapper&#8217;s support, and called out the academy for leaving the rapper out of the evening&#8217;s memorial services.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Grammy’s really didn’t honor Lil Keed. Scum,&#8221; wrote another viewer. &#8220;Did they forget Lil Keed in the Grammy tributes??&#8221; a third commented.</p></blockquote>

<p>What do you think, Roomies? Was their absence just a simple mistake? Or should the Grammys have included Gangsta Boo and Lil Keed?</p>
