Irv Gotti gives fans an update on his health.
According to TMZ, a representative for Irv Gotti confirmed that he suffered a stroke six months ago.
Irv’s team shut down Wack 100’s claims that the producer is currently using a “walker” to walk, and in a rehab facility.
“Irv has been struggling with diabetes for years, which caused him to have a minor stroke over six months ago. He has since changed his diet to eating more healthy. He’s been successful in making a full recovery. Irv is not in a rehab facility. He is at home with his family, enjoying life” confirms the rep.
Following the statement, Gotti put out a response of his own. “I’m getting older. That’s all,” he says. “Only thing worse than getting old is not getting old.”
He goes on to say, “life is good,” as he has been spending family time with his sons, #Sonny and #JJ, and his two dogs. He also shares that his children didn’t like Wack 100’s claims. “They love their dad so much,” he said.
The legendary producer previously opened up about his struggle with diabetes during an episode of Drink Champs. During the interview, Irv admitted to not taking his insulin consistently. He also says his doctors encouraged him to change his diet- which he is done, according to his rep.
According to reports, Irv says he is working on a DMX biopic.
