Chris Gotti Says Ashanti Should Give Irv Gotti More Credit For Her Success
Chris Gotti is a firm believer that blood is thicker than water. He says Ashanti should be giving his brother Irv Gotti more credit her success.
As spotted on Hop New Hip Hop the music executive paid a visit to the Keep It 100 podcast recently and spoke on different topics relating to the Murder Inc. Records legacy, his late great brother and more. Prior to Irv Gotti's death his relationship with Ashanti had severely soured – to the point where she avoided talking about him altogether. When asked about it he made it clear that Ashanti shouldn't be surprised it was such a hot topic. 'Everyone keeps talking about it, she should understand that, too' he said. 'If you're in the limelight, they ask the question. It wasn't little, it was big. For her to act like it ain't Murder Inc. that made her is f***ing bulls**t. Or that Irv made her, it's crazy.'
He went to remind everyone that she didn't find her signature sound until she got to Murder Inc. 'She had three deals before him. Like, something with y'all chemistry worked out. Respect it. That's all. I'm not saying you have to talk about. Respect the magic that was made. That's all I said' Chris Gotti added. He would go on to reveal that their tension put him in a tough spot. 'Irv hate when I take her position. But I never took Irv's position with her. But I'm doing it 'cause he ain't here now. I'm not going to let no one talk about my brother. You going to have a problem. Simple and plain. Especially someone who he made that career. I was there. Like, he made you sing records in the way you sang them. 'Cause you would've never sang it that way if it was up to you.'
Prior to his passing Irv Gotti made some very startling revelations on two separate Drink Champs episodes about his personal dealings with the 'Foolish' singer. Irving alleged they were romantically involved all the while he was still legally married. He caught severe backlash with many saying Irv was fixated with Ashanti. You can see Chris Gotti discuss the situation below.

Monica Is Married! The Songstress Announces Her Nuptials With Longtime Love Anthony Wilson
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Two hearts. One love. Forever. That's how Monica captioned the carousel of photos she dropped on August 4, announcing her marriage to longtime friend-turned-love Anthony Wilson. In the Instagram shots, Monica and her new hubby radiated with love, style, and a lifetime of matching each other's fly. Keep scrolling to see the images. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. The Grammy-winning singer reportedly said 'I do' in an intimate ceremony. Viral photos from their wedding day capture the day's unique vibe, featuring a vintage glam style and flair. Monica – known to push the limits of fashion – chose black instead of white for her wedding editorial. She shared images with fans on August 3. The 'Boy Is Mine' co-tour star looked breathtaking in a black off-the-shoulder gown that hugged her body and showed off her gorgeous curves. The gown featured sheer mesh panels at the neckline and sleeves, along with simple details. Bringing in the real wedding-bell drama, Monica topped off her floor-length garment with exaggerated blush-toned feather cuff details from La Pointe that screamed luxe. She paired the dress and fur with a black mini Hermès Kelly bag, gorgeous lashes, a soft matte nude lip, and cascading jet black waves with face-framing bangs. Her look was a combination of old Hollywood and modern bride – as iconic as Monica is herself. Anthony matched her energy, wearing a crisp white double-breasted tuxedo jacket with satin lapels, styled with a black bowtie and pants. He elevated his matrimonial moment with a jewel brooch on his lapel and kept his hair close-cut. The couple has been together since late 2023. Anthony, who's a power player in the entertainment industry ( BMF, Chris Brown, etc) has been Monica's quiet counterpart. In her words, he's a partner who lets her be soft. In an interview with HelloBeautiful , Monica opened up about how this relationship is different: 'When you fall in love with someone that's been your friend for a very long time, I think it's different… I'm enjoying being supported. I'm enjoying being really loved in a way that allows me to be a lot softer than I typically am.' Details about the couple's wedding are still emerging – and we can't wait to see more pictures. Congratulations, Monica and Anthony! SEE ALSO Monica Is Married! The Songstress Announces Her Nuptials With Longtime Love Anthony Wilson was originally published on

Drake Pelted With Toilet Tissue & Water Bottles During Amsterdam & London Concerts
Source: Simone Joyner / Getty / Drake Videos have hit the internet showing fans pelting Drake with water bottles and toilet tissue while he continues to perform overseas. According to multiple reports and TikTok videos, not all fans attending the Canadian Hip-Hop star's shows are happy with the 6 God, as some are throwing objects at the rapper. A post on X, formerly Twitter, claims the bad behavior is due to Drake not delivering a performance worthy of the price of admission. Drake, standing on the stage, hyping the crowd while asking them to sing his songs, is not what folks paid for, and is what is leading to fans chucking water bottles and toilet paper. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. In one of the videos, Drake gets hit in the face with a bottle, while in others, you can see toilet paper being thrown and landing behind the 'God's Plan' crafter with his team quickly picking up the tossed items. There haven't been any videos of Drake threatening to stop the show if the dangerous behavior continues during his performances. So he seems to be taking it in stride and not punishing everyone for a handful of people acting stupid. Drake's touring abroad has been in the headlines lately, especially following his battle and loss to Kendrick Lamar. During some of his performances, Drizzy co-signed 'f*** Kendrick Lamar' chants. Throwing objects at performers has become an alarming trend, and we wish fans would stop, as someone can seriously get hurt. You can see reactions to Drake being blessed with TP and water bottles in the gallery below.
