It has been said that Murder Inc. Founder, Irv Gotti, was the master mind that gave us singer Ashanti. Irv Gotti at one time went on record saying that Ashanti was singing ‘Rain On Me’ to him, claiming to have been her source of inspiration. Ashanti went on a podcast stating for the record it was lie and that Irv had lied about many things. The back and forth about what had between Ashanti and Irv had quieted down. Ashanti reunited with rapper Nelly got married and had her first child. Things were never made right between Ashanti and Irv while he was living, but she did pay her respects to him in a tribute on Instagram as well as attended his services.
One would think that was the end of the riff between Ashanti and Murder Inc. Chris Gotti on the other hand, knows his brother is gone in the physical, but his legacy lives on and he thinks it’s crazy that Ashanti doesn’t put some respect on that thang.
Recently Chris Gotti during an interview on the Let’s Keep it 100 podcast, let his feelings flow about singer Ashanti. Chris Gotti spoke on comments made by Ashanti regarding her relationship with Irv during her time at Murder Inc. Records. He called her recollection “disrespectful” and dismissive of the deep personal and professional history they shared.
“For her to act like it ain’t Murder Inc. that made her is f**king bullsh*t or Irv made her. She had three deals before him. Like, something with y’all chemistry worked out! Respect it! That’s all. Not saying you have to talk about the ni**a, but respect the magic that was made. That’s all I said.”
Chris Gotti also says that he knows that Ashanti and Irv did in fact have a personal relationship, because he was the frequent mediator during their private conflict.
