Three 6 Mafia DJ Paul clears things up following his now-viral response to the missing person Gangsta Boo‘s funeral, but TMZ tells Hip Hop that he was still on the front lines when it mattered most.
In a statement, the Oscar-winning rapper confirmed his absence but admitted he helped foot the bill.
He says. “The fact that I had to even address the negative things being said behind the scenes is really upsetting, I led the planning and paid for most of Boo’s funeral. it felt right to include them because we all loved Boo.”

We are told others like Juicy J, 8 Ball & MJG:and other relatives, all of whom served in the ministry, and Paul wants the whole ordeal to be water under the bridge.
He concludes: “I’ve said before why I didn’t attend the funeral, and that’s why I don’t think it’s appropriate to draw attention to it. Boo and I only had a relationship, he knew (and knows) where my heart is. I don’t have to explain it to anyone.”
Posting his fiery Instagram response to fans at 4am on Sunday, Paul explained how his presence at funerals unfairly attracts groupies and freeloaders.
