Irv Gotti’s brother and Murder Inc. partner, Chris Gotti, is now left with a massive void he’ll never be able to fill.
While an exact cause of death has yet to be announced, Gotti—who struggled with Type 1 diabetes—suffered a stroke just days before he died. Chris recently sat down with Damon Dash and Mark Halperin for a frank discussion on health and wellness for an episode of 2 Way Tonight. During the conversation, Chris revealed his brother had a stroke while eating Chinese food while playing poker. Chris Gotti went on to explain it wasn’t the diabetes that killed him, it was what the disease did to his body. Dame Dash hopped in the conservation and praised Irv Gotti for “pushing” him his entire career to “make history.” He also pointed out he had all the money in the world, but couldn’t outrun his health.
