Irv Gotti, a prominent figure in the music industry, tragically passed away after suffering a massive hemorrhagic stroke. His brother, Chris Lorenzo, revealed that Irv never went to the doctor, which compounded his health issues.
According to Lorenzo, Irv was enjoying a night of Chinese food and poker with friends when he suddenly experienced the medical emergency. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, causing bleeding, as explained by the National Institute of Health.
Lorenzo shared that Irv rarely sought medical attention and was in disbelief when doctors diagnosed him with diabetes during a rare physical examination. Despite his health challenges, Irv was open about his struggles with taking insulin and was attempting to improve his diet for better self-care.
Sadly, Irv passed away six months after his stroke, which was partially caused by diabetes. His family announced his passing in a heartfelt statement, noting that he left behind a legacy that will forever resonate with those who knew him.
Irv’s funeral was attended by numerous icons in the hip hop and R&B community, including Jay-Z, Fat Joe, Ja Rule, and Ashanti, who came together to pay their respects. While the medical examiner has not yet publicly disclosed the cause of death, Irv’s brother is certain that the stroke was the primary factor.
The music world mourns the loss of Irv Gotti, a talented and influential figure who will be remembered for his contributions to the industry. May his legacy live on in the hearts of those he touched, and may his story serve as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing health and seeking medical care when needed.
