When Irv Gotti opened up about his health battles
Music mogul Irv Gotti opened up about his struggles with diabetes during an August 2023 interview with Drink Champs. He said, as quoted by Newsweek,
"It's rampant with Black people. What it does is, it starts deteriorating your body."
The 54-year-old explained that his diabetic condition was hereditary. The record producer went on to highlight his daily struggles with food, explaining that for diabetic patients, "anything that you're gonna like or tastes good, horrible for you."
In 2024, a representative of Gotti confirmed that he had suffered his first stroke. According to an exclusive report by TMZ, they claimed:
"Irv has been struggling with diabetes for years, which caused him to have a minor stroke over six months ago. 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."
As of this writing, Irv Gotti's family and friends have yet to make an official statement about the legendary record producer's current health condition.
