Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the music producer reportedly suffered a stroke and was admitted to a recovery center, Wack100, in August 2024, according to TMZ.
The outlet also reported that Gotti’s talent manager claimed receiving a photo of the record executive using a cane, revealing that he had “lost a lot of weight.”
“[He had] been struggling with diabetes for years, which caused him to have a minor stroke over six months ago,” told Irv Gotti’s rep previously.
They added, “He has since changed his diet to eating more healthy. He’s been successful in making a full recovery. Irv is not in a rehab facility. He is at home with his family, enjoying life.”
