“I WISH THEY GOT IT RIGHT” CHRIS GOTTI ON IRV NOT BEING PRESENT FOR ASHANTI'S WALK OF FAME CEREMONY

In this past clip from My Expert Opinion Episode #303, Chris Gotti sits down with Math Hoffa to discuss the deep and complex relationship between his brother, Irv Gotti, and the superstar he created, Ashanti. Chris, who served as the "go-between" during their feud, admits he found it sad that Irv was not present for Ashanti's Walk of Fame ceremony, stating, "You created all this greatness." He recalls that Ashanti had several unsuccessful record deals before hitting legendary status at Murder Inc. due to their "amazing chemistry."

Chris drops a massive revelation, detailing the final "diabolical" play: Irv had asked Chris to broker peace, sending a message to Ashanti that he wanted to be cool and help her with future projects. Less than a week later, Irv went on N.O.R.E.'s Drink Champs podcast and publicly exposed their relationship, leaving Chris humiliated and apologizing to Ashanti, who felt betrayed by the setup. Chris confirms that despite the drama, "Irv really loved that girl," and that his infamous public disclosures likely came from "pain."
