Koopsta Knicca (whose real name is Robert Cooper, born (April 27, 1975 – October 9, 2015) is most notably as being one of six of the original members of legendary Memphis Hip Hop Three 6 Mafia (originally known as Triple Six Mafia prior to the release of their first commercially-released album Mystic Stylez in 1995). Koopsta last appeared on the group’s album When The Smoke Sixty 6, Sixty 1 before leaving the group due to being in constant legal trouble and missing events for the group. As a solo artist, he struggled to reach the success that his former group was having at the time. Koop accused them of having an influence on Hot 107.1 DJ’s (in Memphis, Tennessee) not playing his music.
In 2006, Koop got involved into more legal trouble where he robbed Justin “Lil' J” Thurman at gun point, who has been identified in a two-part video of Koopsta dissing his former group (click here for part one, click here for part two. He was in jail while Three 6 Mafia won an Oscar Award for their song “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp”.
The beef was squashed when all of the members of the original Three 6 Mafia (excluding Juicy J) reunited to form the spin-off group Da Mafia 6ix.
