Ivr Gotti in a new interview claims that he blocked several record labels from signing 50 Cent early in his career, which eventually led to his historic deal with Dr. Dre and Eminem.
“I blocked the ni**a till he fell in Dre’s lap,” said the former Murder Inc. boss while speaking with Hot 107.9’s B High. “Labels would call me and I was so hot, I was just the hottest thing, so I’d be like, ‘Yo, if you f**k with him, I ain’t fu**in’ with you.”
Ivr Gotti made the revelation when asked what advice he would give his younger self. He responded by saying he would let Atlantic Records sign 50. “The Irv I am now, I would be like, ‘Yo, sign him,’ knowing that nothing gon’ happen with him over there.”
Now looking back, Gotti realizes he only helped 50’s career. “He had a deal with Sony before. He wasn’t moving like that,” he recalled. “I blocked that ni**a into a dream situation. That’s all God’s plan.”
After learning about the interview, 50 responded by reposting the interview clip and clapped back. “Now everybody knows why i act the way i act,” he captioned his post. “These sucka ass ni66a’s be out here working against you, instead of working on their own shit.”
Fif continued to take a shot at his longtime rival by adding, “now look at them, all fu**ed up. 🤨B!tch ass ni66as.”
