Big Boogie has confirmed that he and Carmen Antunez, a.k.a. Carmen Elena, are no longer together. The Memphis rapper opened up about their relationship and the reason for their breakup during a recent interview.
After weeks of online speculation, Big Boogie addressed the status of his relationship with Carmen Elena during an appearance on Cam Newtons ‘Funky Friday’ podcast. During the hourlong conversation, the rapper confirmed the couple had gone their separate ways, explaining that he was not accustomed to navigating a relationship under constant public attention. He also acknowledged the toll the situation took on his mental health.
I felt like I was losing myself mentally, Big Boogie shared, adding that the nonstop discourse surrounding their relationship created an energy he no longer wanted in his life.

Carmen Pritchett previously shared a YouTube channel with her ex, Corey Pritchett, before the two went through a very public split that continues to play out online.
In November, tensions escalated when Corey and Big Boogie exchanged words online after a former friend of Big Boogie made claims. The individual alleged that Boogie injured himself while attempting to flee after Corey showed up at Carmens home. Corey later responded, accusing Carmen of setting him up and claiming Big Boogie ran from him.
Both Big Boogie and Carmen addressed the allegations on a livestream, denying the claims and offering their version of events in an attempt to clear the air.
