Irv Gotti, the legendary hip hop mogul and producer reportedly had a stroke. Popular west coast podcaster Wack100 broke the news on social media yesterday.
Wack100 broke the news. According to the podcaster, he claims to have spoken with a man at a stroke recovery center who informed him that Irv allegedly had a stroke.
Wack explained, “Yeah they [didn’t] mention it. IRV GOTTI had a stroke, and I’m gonna let you know what he looks like.”
Wack then released an image showing Irv walking with a cane, which Wack called a “walker.” The west coast podcaster claims that the image was taken outside of a stroke recovery center in Los Angeles.
“He lost a lot of weight. People sent me all this sh**. This came from the worker at the rehabilitation center.”
Wack continued, saying, “pray for IRV GOTTI.”
Irv has battled with diabetes for many years. He explained his struggles last year on an episode of The Drink Champs – where Irv told Nore, “Diabetes starts deteriorating your body.”
Nore asked if Irv was OK, and the legendary producer said “no.”
Irv added that he doesn’t always take insulin, unless his blood sugar gets out of whack. Irv’s doctors asked that change his diet, but the hip hop legend admitted that he hasn’t been doing it successfully.
He claims that while he wants to beat diabetes, he also wants to “live” by eating unhealthy foods.
