Irv Gotti became the talk of the internet following his Drink Champs interview earlier this month. The Murder Inc. founder had used the episode to basically talk about his relationship and escapades with Ashanti, ultimately admitting that he was hurt by her and still hasn’t gotten over it.
Irv recently took to the comments section in Instagram where he announced that he would no longer be answering questions about Ashanti.
The Shade Room had posted a clip of an interviewer asking Irv why he kept answering questions about Ashanti, to which he replied: “Cause thatās why. You askinā me. Did I bring Ashanti up? You did it. Hereās what Iām going to say. I wish Ashanti nothing but the best. Iām not hooked on her, like āI canāt get over her.ā Itās none of that shit.”
He went on to add: āI got paid to do a documentary on my life and on Murder Inc. If I didnāt talk about Ashanti, you would have been like what kind of bullshit is this that he didnāt speak about her. Sheās too important to Murder Inc. and his life. They tried to #MeToo me. You know what the fuck they said. Stop it Shade Room. You the shadiest ones.ā
Someone then asked Irv in the comments why he kept answering questions about Ashanti. Irv responded saying that he would no longer answer questions about her, adding that he got “slandered” for telling the truth.
“Oh. Please believe. Itās gonna be NO COMMENT from here on end,ā he replied. āHaha. But I felt like at least trying to make yāall understand. Moving forward. It will be limited interviews and about of no comments. I tell the truth cause I want the people to know the real. But honestly. Yāall donāt give a fuck about the truth.
āYāall gonna say and do whatever yāall want. So why keep giving yāall the real. Itās to be like everyone else. Lie to yāall. Alter the truth. Or donāt say shit to yāall and keep you in the dark. Hahaha I got slandered for telling yāall the absolute truth. Lol.ā
Gotti was put under fire for the most recent episode of the Murder Inc. documentary on BET. Gotti was labeled a “predator” for sexualizing a then 19 year old Ashanti and saying that he kissed her and “grabbed her ass.”
