Hip-hop legend and Murder Inc. founder Irv Gotti has reportedly suffered another stroke, sending shockwaves through the music industry.
The 54-year-old producer’s current condition remains unconfirmed, but sources close to the situation claim he is hospitalized amid unverified rumors of a coma and life support.
Latest Updates on Irv Gotti’s Health
- Another Stroke Reported: Insiders revealed that Gotti experienced a stroke in early February 2025, just over a year after his previous health scare in 2024. His representatives have yet to release an official statement, leaving fans and peers anxious for updates.
- Social Media Rumors: Twitter (X) and Instagram are flooded with alarming claims, including speculation that Gotti is in a “vegetative state” or on life support. One user alleged he had “bleeding on the brain,” while others claimed family members were saying their “final goodbyes.” These reports remain unverified.
- Diabetes Complications: Gotti’s health struggles are linked to his long battle with diabetes, a condition he has openly discussed. In 2024, he admitted, “Diabetes is deteriorating my body,” and shared his challenges with insulin management and diet.
A History of Health Struggles
Gotti’s recent stroke follows a minor one in early 2024, which his team confirmed was caused by diabetes-related complications. At the time, he adopted a healthier diet, lost weight, and used a cane for mobility during recovery. His representatives emphasized that he had made a “full recovery” and was home with family.
However, Gotti’s candid interviews revealed ongoing struggles. On the Drink Champs podcast, he called diabetes a “silent killer” in Black communities and admitted, “I’ve been diagnosed forever; it’s hereditary.” He joked about hating broccoli but acknowledged the need for lifestyle changes.
Fans Rally Behind Gotti
The hip-hop community has flooded social media with prayers. Artists like Ja Rule and Ashanti, whom Gotti mentored during Murder Inc.’s peak, have not yet commented publicly.
Meanwhile, his team’s silence has fueled speculation, with some critics questioning the timing of rumors amid Gotti’s ongoing projects, including a DMX biopic 67.
