Ashanti Breaks Silence On Irv Gotti Passing

Ashanti has broken her silence on the death of Irv Gott In her IG message Ashanti called the late cofounder of Murder Inc. a "musical genius" who had the "ability to push me to be my best. The music mega-producer who worked with big acts like DMX, Ja Rule and Ashanti died Wednesday in New York City. The singer wrote in part "I can’t believe things ended like this….and it makes me so sad…We weren’t on the best terms the past few years but as I’ve always said, through our ups and downs I will forever be grateful for everything that you’ve done for me. Noting they "made history" and that will "remain infinite," she added "All the greatness and positive things that came, far outweigh the dark and negative times. Irv and Ashanti had a war of words a couple years ago, when he opened up -- on a now legendary "Drink Champs" episode about what he described as their "relationship." She fired back, saying it was never that serious to her, and accused Gotti of being salty he no longer had control of her career.
