Irv Gotti Addresses DMX ‘Bad Dose Of Crack’ Comment Backlash

    Irv Gotti faced an onslaught of criticism after he suggested DMX died from a “bad dose of crack” during an interview with Chicago’s 107.5 WGCI last week.

    Now, the Murder Inc. co-founder has issued an apology in a lengthy Instagram post shared to his account on Saturday (May 1).

    “1st off,” he began in the caption. “Let me say again. How much I love my n-gga X. The fact that this is coming into Question is the only reason why I feel the need to address the bullshit. I love X and love him Unconditionally and that won’t change til I die. Dog Love.”

    Gotti then insisted he didn’t say anything that hadn’t already been reported.

    “Now the interview I did for @wgci and @kendragmedia is the interview where I said what I said about DMX,” he continued. “Now Everything I said. Had already been reported in the media. If you look back at @balleralert and @theshaderoom and other media outlets. everything I said had been out there already.

    “I did not break anything I said. But you know what. I understand. No one wanted to hear it from me. And for that I am truly sorry.”

    He continued, “To ever make people think. I don’t love my n-gga X. Anybody that knows me or knew X. Cannot ever front like me and X didn’t share a special bond. I put my whole career on the line for X. And did things for X that is unquestionable. Our relationship grew and grew to the point where I feel I understood X and the love he wanted. That’s why I say DOG LOVE. Unconditional LOVE is what I gave X.”

    Irv Gotti Says DMX Overdosed On ‘Bad Dose Of Crack’ Mixed With Fentanyl

    Before Gotti wrapped up his caption, he admitted he spoke out of turn and shouldn’t have speculated on DMX’s manner of death, especially when the autopsy reports were still pending.

    “I spoke with @tasherasimmons Who I love also,” he wrote. “And I apologized as soon as I seen it went left. I explained to her I was only saying things that I heard reported already. To which she said they don’t know if it’s real yet. They are waiting for the doctors to come back and tell them. Then which I apologized even more … I apologize for talking out of turn.

    “In my defense. I honestly thought I wasn’t saying anything that everyone didn’t hear already. If anyone thinks the love I have for X is nothing but genuine unconditional love. Just look at our history. Really look at it. And there is no way you can think that. Love you X. Until I die and see you again.”

    DMX passed away at White Plains Hospital in White Plains, New York on April 9 after a week on life support. He was 50.

    1. So someone overdoses on drugs and we’re mad at his friend for saying it? Everyone feels guilty about X dying so they’re looking for someone to be mad at.

      1. He didn’t say he overdosed. He said he smoked some crack mixed with fentanyl, which is very specific and not the same as overdosing. And on top of that, if you know anything about crack, you know people don’t overdose on crack so that shit didn’t make sense either. Sure he could have a heart attack from the cumulative effects of the drug. But nobody overdoses on crack. The high only last a few minutes. People go back and forth on a binge for days and don’t overdose. So he was just talking basically on something he has no way of knowing about.

    2. He spoke the truth. Its just this generation is too damn sensitive to hear it. I love DMX music just as much as the next man. But I dont feel people in their 40’s and 50’s have a right to express themselves as their generation would. Dont expect an OG to express himslef like someone 20 years younger would on social media. If you enjoy OG music, respect the OG culture that comes with it. These people arent from the Drake era where fans feelings get hurt over a comment.

      1. Imagine defending any of Irv Gotti’s actions. Makes you sound stupid, man. It wasn’t his place to go anywhere saying that shit. As he said himself, it wasn’t like he was breaking any news. It’s information that’s 1) already out there and 2) not verified to be true. He should have said something nice about the brother and been happy that someone wanted to talk to his stupid ass in the first place. Now you and Irv shut the hell up.

    3. i want to lock up for life all these music business cats. they use you, they steal. they give you nothing, nothing.

    30. He died of an overdose….well, what do you think it was then SWIZZ? He been on crack and cocaine forever. Black folks struggle when they hear the truth. 40+ year old man with 13 kids, take some accountability.

      1. Not trying to come for anyone and while I partially agree, What does him being 40+ with 13 kids have to do with anything at this point, and who exactly should take accountability the man that has passed away?! We all know he struggled with addiction and it was more likely than not that it caused his death. These opinions, facts, false narratives etc. were not from DMX. Swiss don’t need to take accountability cause it wasn’t his addiction. Btw people struggle with truths at times not just black people. RIH Earl Simmons prayers to his family and any going through what addiction can bring.
