For the newest Drink Champs episode, DJ EFN and N.O.R.E. welcomed Irv Gotti who made some bold claims regarding Drake that may or may have not been influenced by alcohol. In a teaser clip for the show, the Murder, Inc. co-founder elevates the Toronto rap titan to nearly god-like status.
“Drizzy, for sure, is a genius,” Gotti says. “He is, dare I say, he’s our Eminem of today.”

With the drinks flowing, Gotti appears to be slightly inebriated while making his case for the Toronto megastar.
“Drake would be selling $15 million to $20 million a club, do you realize this?” Gotti says. “So right now, he sells three, four. If he was in my era, he’d be selling 15 to 20. Once he does something outside the music genre, he’s going to see how colossal he is. That nigga’s colossal. Listen, he’s a genius. That muthafucka’s a genius, ok?”
Elsewhere in the episode, Gotti talks about ruining his relationship with Jennifer Lopez after calling her a “bitch” during an interview with Elle magazine while high on ecstasy. At the time, J.Lo was popping off songs like “I’m Real” and “Ain’t It Funny.”
“J.Lo will never trust me again,” he says. “She will never trust me again. There’s no making it right. I’m a fucking idiot, I abandoned her, that and loyalty. If she says ‘fuck Irv Gotti’ until she’s in the grave, I deserve it.”
N.O.R.E. and E.F.N., who have the monumental task of keeping things on course, did their best to navigate the conversation. EFN is always open to hearing what legends in the game have to say.
“I feel that if anyone has the right to talk that talk it’s people who lived the times,” EFN tells HipHopDX. “Hence why we do Drink Champs. I don’t agree with everything he says but I respect his point of view and perspective.”
He adds, “He definitely got drunk [laughs].”
Drink Champs airs every Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on REVOLT TV.
Irv speaking some real talk
The least tht frake spelled correctly can do is write all his rhymes if he’s such a genius*bouncing ideas is cool even having a chorus thrown ur way but claiming top 5 top 5 & having reference tracks immediately drops you from top tier artist/emcee to just an entertainer*I don’t really care for shady but he pens all his shit*irv trippn*
Haaa…no
Well at least he ain’t a f a g g o t like u

Right, I’m gonna believe a pill popping drunk who hasn’t been relevant since 2000? He talks about Drake doing more then music – dude that’s how he got here – Degrassi. For the young cats on here is this guy relevant?!? Highly doubt it. A blood fart on hip hop history.
Many records u sold muppet?? Gotta sold millions I’d say he knows more than you ya clown, you go 2your bedroom look at your 50 poster
Solid point Pops. I agree with you! I’m just saying that in the article it talks about him expanding outside of music – it shouldn’t be that hard for Aubrey because he came from outside music, then jumped in the music world.
but you gotta understand when it’s yours, they don’t really leave your ass with a mawfucking choice, uh… I just love when I’m with youuuu…
yeah thats pretty Eminem-like.. #FOH
This fool along with his brother still hanging on to using Gotti, GTFO. Trying to be hardcore cost those two dummies there record label
I know, right
Except eminem made a lane, drake rode a wave.
Let me see, who do I believe more? Eminem who says he is a Drake fan? Gotti who is made and has done a lot for the culture? or the nonentities on the internet hating from they parents basement?
