Rumors have been swirling that Lyor Cohen left Warner Music Group to start his own management company.
Now, the NY Post reports that the music mogul has made his first hire. Earlier this week, Cohen reportedly tapped former The Inc. honcho Irv Gotti to serve as his partner in the firm.
Gotti is supposedly trying to advise Drake as part of his new position. A picture of the two recently made the rounds on the Internet. Cohen, meanwhile, is looking to advise Kanye West as previously reported.
“If Lyor and Irv do work together, it’s possible they’ll have two of the biggest hip-hop stars under their management,” said a source.

MY NIGGA IRV IS BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
LOL I THOUGHT IRV WAS DEAD
I wish Irv success in the future.
Heres a random question but does anyone know if it was true that Irv, J Prince, and Dame Dash, tried to create an independent union years ago that was then shut down?
yes I think Suge was also going to be involved. Corporate America didnt want to see that. Thats too much power for a a black man. Think it was going be Suge J prince and Irv and Dame.
If you remember thats when Suge started getting messed wieth with the taxes. Dame was going through the tax thing. If you think those major labels didnt see the boys out you crazy. They tried to do it
GOOD LUCK TRYING TO PRY THOSE ARTISTS AWAY FROM CORTEZ BRYANT, GEE ROBERSON AND ALL THOSE GUYS AT BLUEPRINT..LOL

LOL
haha thats rite 50 ran to the cops like the snitch he is
Irv making moves. BOSS
This sounds like a bad idea on all sides. Irv had some success with Ja, but that seems like a hundred years ago. With albums delayed all the time, and very few seeing platinum, unless they branch out and sign artists that are in demand, this could be a disaster.
Success with Ja and Murder Inc AND is the reason we got to hear DMX and the reason Jay-Z got the distrubution deal with Def Jam. Dude was running around with all of them since the late 80’s/early 90’s. Plus he’s one of the reasons why Ashanti blew up, Lloyd blew up (until he left) etc.
Irv still advises artists and has been influential in alot of peoples careers (ie. Nicki Minaj and more). Dude is smart and knows how to find the artists that can blend right in the middle between the corporate world and the streets, aka street artists with either business sense or that can sell records. He honestly seems like someone who’s passionate about this culture.
Ja Rule is the finest nigga on the streets right now.
Ja Rule is so fine you could taste his fineness by just looking at him.
Ja Rule’s angelic voice will heal the world.
jarules next album will be considered the greatest album in music history, he will have 10 number 1 singles and sell 2 billion copies.
irv pussy

Just because he worked with them in some capacity didn’t mean that was the sole reason any one of those people you mentioned experienced success. If anything he held Ja back. Didn’t manage Ashanti’s career good enough. Llyod bad mouthed him. Yeah, he knows people, but I bet if rappers were being honest they’d say they don’t trust or much like him.
Joell Ortiz lookin ass
YALL NIGGAZ TALK ALOTA SILLY SHIT…
NOT GONNA SIT HERE AND SAY IRV BUILT JAY’S CAREER, BUT HE DEFINITELY HAD INFLUENCE IN HIS SUCCESS!!!
