IRV GOTTI PUTS ASHANTI ON BLAST via WENDY WILLIAMS

Friday, August 31, 2007

In a recent interview with Shock Jock Wendy Williams, Irv Gotti spoke on his “relationship” with Ashanti and about her disloyalty towards him when he was on trial for allegedly laundering drug money.

Here is a write up from Youtube about the interview.

Irv admitted his disappointment in Ashanti for her lack of loyalty during difficult times instead of sticking by him like Ja Rule did though out the trial. Irv Gotti, who is 10 years older than Ashanti, also admitted his use of the drug Viagra mixed with the drug Ecstasy during the time he was having an affair with Ashanti while he was married AND that Ashanti knew he was married!

He also confirmed Ashanti is still under contract with him so he legally has rights to anything Ashanti does until her contract with Gotti expires. [SOURCE]

In you’ve been on Concrete loop for awhile then you probably already know that I made a post about this like 2 years ago (I kid you not). When Irv and his brother were being investigated by the FBI, some of his personal conversations where recorded. Here is what I wrote in a post back in Nov. of 2005.

according to phone tap records the FBI has on him and his brother, it seems like she did. See, Irv’s brother (Chris aka CL) and that druglord Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff (KM) had a convo about almost everything. I’m talking from 50 CENT to Nelly & Ashanti’s relationship. Here is a snippet of that convo. [SOURCE]

He’s probably lying, the only reason why he did this is because she does not associate herself, with “The Inc.” anymore. It’s a publicity stunt, the fat fuck just wants attention!

Like most artists, Ashanti had higher aspirations (i.e., films) so she had cut the baggage loose!! No different then what JLo did when P whathisface was going to court everyday.

He has his nerves using the worD LOYALTY. When he was cheating on his wife with Ashanti, was hs thinking of his loyalty ti his wife. I’m not going to get started on her, because he was the one that made that decision. He made those vows to his wife. I don’t care what type of drugs he was on. His wife no doubt stood by him but he has the nerve to throw Ashanti ‘under the bus’. WAH! WAH! WAH! He knew he was married. If Irv didn’t respect his marriage than he left that door open for someone else to disrepect it. So I don’t feel sorry for him. But I bet not too many people are going to talk about his stupid ass. They are going to blame Ashanti and call her names and other things. Yeah she has her part in it but is was his RESPONSIBILITY to repect his wife. With his PUNK ASS.

He’s just mad cuz she’s with Nelly and moved on. It’s sad when somebody that already fell into a deep hole tries to bring someone else down with them.

What is she supposed to do? Hang with Irv so his legal woes mess up her chances of having a succesful album? He messed things up for her with Chapter 2, & again with Concrete Rose. She rode with him as long as she could, but I don’t blame her for wanting to step out & try something new, Irv brought her hot music no lie, but as an artist you need to grow. Also I find it funny that he talks about her not being loyal, yet he lets Wendy & crew dog her left & right & he just chuckle’s it off. I hope Ashanti comes with the heat this time around, & shows everyone that she can once again over come the hate & keep her focus on what’s important.

BTW…If this is true, he never once said Ashanti was having an affair with him before he got signed, so this could of been during the success of her 1st album…

This concreteloop person is retarded. He didnt’t admit to having an affair are you fucking stupid? You can get sue for trashing the image of a public figure you dumb fuck. Did you even listen to the interview? He said not one word when he was asked about Ashanti. You copy and pasted exactly what I read in some other blog. This is bullshit, listen to the interview and then remake this post, dumb fuck.

i believe it b/c it was in the phone tap convo so it must b true. i knew that talentless chick was doing somebody to get ahead but i thought that someone was ja. all along it was irv. at least ja has a nice body, how could she stoop so low to sleep with irv yuck

28.

Yeah That’s messed up he put that out there. I guess he’s getting back at her for not stickin wit the INC. when they were in trouble

Friday, August 31, 2007 /

@ 26

Um, he CLEARLY elludes to the fact that they were sleeping together. You woud have to be a FOOL, not to understand that after listening to the interview. I heard the entire interview on the radio yesterday and yes, it is pretty clear they had an affair.

30.

gg boo

Friday, August 31, 2007 /

@ 15 - Naw you’re right on this. I don’t think people will attack Ashanti. Not that she’s not responsible, but I am sure at the beginning of her career she had stars in her eyes and like a lot of other artists trying to come up, she did something regrettable to boost her chances of getting a deal. But IRV was the one who got married, not her. It was his responsibility to not harm his marriage, not hers.

31.

MzCynik

Friday, August 31, 2007 /

I agree with you #15 and I feel you #17. I swear when folks fall…they will do anything… and use anyone to get (back) on top…or atleast in the game. Right now he is watching from the sidelines. And would someone, anyone….puhhhhleezeee tell him that he is NOT the “Godfather”!! He dont have it like that.

32.

John

Friday, August 31, 2007 /

29 you’re retarded as well. He could have easily made those “noises” to avoid the question and move on, without wanting to give a definite answer.

Crystal

Friday, August 31, 2007 /

Uh yeah like John said I heard the interview and he sure did not say he had an affair with her. But he did say the Viagra stuff about superhead not Ashanti so yeah this is all wrong. Plus a note Ashanti got signed AFTER SHE MADE THE SONG FOOLISH. And it became a big hit so he signed her not by having sex with him since that is what some people are saying. I say he mad because she moved on. Get over it homie for real.

When I first started hearing those rumors about Ashant and Gotti I just could’t believe them but after hearing this I don’t know now. Damn Ashanti I hope this isn’t true cause you could have done so much better than that. Ewwwww! I bet Gotti has a little short penis cause most men his size do and trust me I know cause I have dated two guys his size before and I wasn’t impressed. But if this isn’t true he damn made it sound true by not anwsering the question and especailly by making that comment. Damn I wonder if Ja was hitting it too.

39.

Who didn’t know this. I remember when he got caught in Oakland with Viagra and X when Ashanti was on tour. I said back then he was using them for her. Too easy!

Well, I guess someoone is a little scorned. He shows no kind of professionalism putting her business out there like that. He obviously is jealous of her relationship with Nelly. Pops, you got a woman at home…move on.

Irv is upset because Ashanti was his cash cow and now she’s moved on. lol

Ashanti is the only member of Murder Inc. left who still has a career. She and Ja Rule were pretty much the only important members anyway.

Kinda OT, but Ashanti’s singing has improved a lot over the years, her acting too. She’s moving up, and it’s entirely selfish of Gotti to expect her to practically sacrifice her career for him.

>>>>>> That’s what I was thinking. I blame him first!! Ashanti was wrong for that if that’s true, but he is MORE to blame cause he’s the one who was married and OWED loyalty to his wife. That man is talking about she knew he was married. DIDNT YOUR ASS KNOW YOU WAS MARRIED NEGRO????? WERENT YOU AT YOUR OWN WEDDING??? These fools are ridiculous.

This is truly sad. I like Ashanti and I’m one of her fans. Irv is just jealous because she has moved on. However, like many things, this too shall pass. You all remember the whole Aaliyah/R. Kelly scandal back in the 90’s? Aaliyah (R.I.P.) went on to become a huge star and people look back on that scandal in disdain. I hope that this will be true for Ashanti. Granted, she doesn’t have a voice like Mariah, Whitney, or Kelly Price, but the girl can sing and her singing has improved. Ashanti will move on to bigger and better things.

63.

tammy

Friday, August 31, 2007 /

I believe it’s true,but was it really necessary to put that out there? Irv is screaming “loyalty ” and what not but squealing like a broad in those interveiw questions. Not a good look Irv you seem scorned or something.

And by the way, he’s talking about Ashanti knew he was married, well HE knew he was married too, and it didn’t stop him from being disloyal to his wife, the mother of his children, and the woman he took vows with.

Friday, August 31, 2007 /

I feel bad for her, from what I’ve seen of her, she seems like a really sweet girl. Irv seems bitter that she wants to expand her horizon’s & try something new, & the fact that she seems happy with Nelly. Even if he didn’t actually say anything negative minus the loyalty issue, he really should’ve stepped in when they were trashing her, calling her irrelevent, I really think this is going to backfire on him, mad people are going to lose respect for him, if they even had any to begin with. He’s burying himself into a hole, & it just keeps getting deeper & deeper.

@ john. whateva man. If they weren’t having an affair he would’nt have to make “noises” he could have just said the simple word NO. End of story, no more questions. Between his response, the years or rumors, and the damn wire taps, some people still find the need to convince themselves otherwise. Ashanti’s sure got some die hard fans.

And btw, what does this really matter for anyway. Some of you’ll are making a bigger deal of this then they did on the damn radio show…lol. For most people, including wendy, this is old news. If you like her music, then you like her music. It doesn’t change my opionion of her. She’s just a young girl who got caught out there - it happens. She’ll be fine.

URGENT MESSAGE! TO THOSE WHO THINK THIS IS A BIG LIE I TELL YOU THIS IS ALL TRUE. SUPER HEAD EVEN SPOKE ABOUT HERSELF AND IRV IN HER BOOK AND IN THE BOOK SHE TALKS ABOUT IRV’S DRUG USAGE AND SHE EVEN SPOKE ABOUT A TIME WHEN JA RULE GOT INTO IT WITH HIS WIFE BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT HE WAS MESSIN WITH ASHANTI. I THINK SADLY IRV IS TELLING THE TRUTH. HOWEVER, I THINK HE’S FINALLY COMING OUT UNDER PERSONAL MOTIVES.

72.

Darlynn Winters

he’s wrong for that when most people already knew that he and ashanti was an item when she first came out

he just trying to juice the situation which makes it a dumbass

73.

RydeOrDie

Friday, August 31, 2007 /

Ashanti didnt get signed until Foolish hit number one so it wasnt about a record deal IFFFFFFFFFFFF they did have an “affair”. Ashanti was a young girl, irv was an older manipulative guy with seemingly a big heart, shit happens. You can tell he bitter about the her not working with the inc and her being with nelly situation. Anyway, the new cd comes out in december and irv said he ashanti diddy mario winans and 7 aurelius did a song together which is prob the first single. Cant wait to hear it. Switch is not the first single.

74.

Shantise

Friday, August 31, 2007 /

I been knew something was going on when in Nelly over and over again video he had Ashanti picture in it and all of a sudden poof it is gone and Ciara appears. I always heard Irv told him to take it off. But dag Shan you got him pu$$y whipped like that? lol now he want to come out snitching like a little mouse hungry for cheese lol. get it together Irv because you only playing yourself.
