50 Cent Teases Irv Gotti For Alleged Jealousy Of Nelly & Ashanti

July 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent once again trolled his longtime rival Irv Gotti on Instagram on Tuesday, sharing a report that the Murder Inc. Records co-founder is jealous of Nelly and Ashanti’s relationship. While he’s since deleted the post, 50 originally captioned it: “LOL I HAD TO SHARE THIS LMAO.” Gotti previously claimed he and Ashanti dated for a stretch of time during an interview on Drink Champs in 2022.

A few months later, Ashanti spoke with Angie Martinez on the IRL podcast and flat-out denied the story. “Let’s clear this up, we dealt with each other, but was Irv my boyfriend? Was I his girlfriend? Never,” she said at the time. “Irv had several girlfriends, so I’m a little confused by the label and the description.”

Tuesday isn’t the first time 50 has trolled Gotti this month. He recently called out the music executive for facing a sexual assault lawsuit in Miami. “Oh no,” he wrote over that report. “In a lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade on July 11, a women accuses 54-year-old Gotti (born Irving Domingo Lorenzo) of sexually assaulting and abusing her on several occasions from 2020 to 2022 in Saint Martin, Miami, and Atlanta. The suit seeks a trial by jury. (The legal fee’s are gonna break his ass in half, he ain’t got no money). Welp that all folks.” The lawsuit was filed by an anonymous Jane Doe who claims she “has suffered severe emotional and psychological harm for which she had to be committed to a psychiatric ward.” She also accused Gotti of “slandering her to his vast social network in and around Los Angeles.”

Irv Gotti Has Denied Sexual Assault Allegations, And Is Reportedly Considering Filing A Countersuit

July 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Murder Inc founder and producer (for acts like Ashanti and Ja Rule), Irv Gotti is reportedly ready to battle it out in a court of law.

On July 11, Irv Gotti (real name Irving Domingo Lorenzo) was named in a sexual assault lawsuit. In the Miami court documents, an alleged former love interest (only referred to as Jane Doe) accused Lorenzo of forcing her to perform oral sex on him, among other things. Now, a representative for the mogul has come out to deny the allegations and suggest a countersuit could be on the way.

In a statement provided to TMZ, the spokesperson rejected Doe’s claims and alleged that Lorenzo was being extorted. Read the full statement below.

[The lawsuit] was filed after Mr. Gotti rejected the attempt by this individual to coerce a payment of money from him. The lawsuit contains a single page of ‘facts’ which are unsworn to, sparse by any measure, and which Mr. Gotti categorically denies.

The allegations represent an affront to women who have truly suffered abuse. Mr. Gotti has been surrounded by strong women the entirety of his life – his mother, five sisters, and daughter. The top employees at his company are women. Mr. Gotti’s relationships with women have been characterized by mutual respect, honesty, and empathy. Mr. Gotti’s reputation has been placed at issue.

The represent also hinted that Irv Gotti was considering taking legal actions of his own—by filing a countersuit for defamation.

Irv Gotti Denies Sexual Assault & Abuse Allegations And Claims He’s Being Extorted

Via an alleged representative, Irv Gotti has denied the sexual assault and abuse allegations against him by an anonymous woman in a new lawsuit. Moreover, TMZ reportedly obtained a statement about how he might file a countersuit since the Jane Doe in question only made this case once he refused her requests for monetary compensation. Allegedly, this lawsuit against Gotti emerged “after Mr. Gotti rejected the attempt by this individual to coerce a payment of money from him. The lawsuit contains a single page of ‘facts’ which are unsworn to, sparse by any measure, and which Mr. Gotti categorically denies.”

Furthermore, the mystery female filed suit against Irv Gotti on July 11 in Florida with accusations of sexual assault, battery, and intentionally inflicted emotional distress. She alleges that he abused her during two years of dating beginning in 2020, and that “Gotti coerced Plaintiff into having sex with him” on vacation, the lawsuit reads. Other details of alleged “unwanted sexual acts” include that “Gotti forced her to perform oral sex on him in an elevator,” and that later that year, “he again forced her to perform oral sex on him in an Uber.” The relationship apparently ended after this.

“The allegations represent an affront to women who have truly suffered abuse,” Irv Gotti’s representative added. “Mr. Gotti has been surrounded by strong women the entirety of his life. His mother, five sisters, and daughter. The top employees at his company are women. Mr. Gotti’s relationships with women have been characterized by mutual respect, honesty, and empathy [and] Mr. Gotti’s reputation has been placed at issue.” In addition, the rep called this a “baseless” lawsuit and revealed that the Murder Inc. executive might retort with a countersuit.

Meanwhile, this is definitely a much larger issue than what Irv Gotti had previously faced on social media as of late. When Ashanti and Nelly announced that they’re expecting a child, the Internet trolled him into oblivion. But now things became much darker and much less fun to joke about. Hopefully we get to the bottom of this case and those criminally responsible see the justice that they deserve.

Irv Gotti Accused Of Sexual Assault & Abuse: What We Know

July 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Music mogul and cofounder of Murder Inc. Records, Irv Gotti, faces serious allegations of sexual assault and abuse. According to People, an unnamed woman has come forward with claims against the 54-year-old producer, detailing a harrowing two-year ordeal. The accusations, outlined in a lawsuit filed on July 11 in Miami, span from 2020 to 2022. The plaintiff, who met Gotti through a mutual friend at a poker game, alleges multiple incidents of coercion and assault. Here is a detailed breakdown of the allegations and their implications.

Initial Meeting & Allegations

The plaintiff states she first encountered Irv Gotti in 2020 at a poker game facilitated by a mutual acquaintance. Shortly after this meeting, Gotti allegedly invited her on a trip to St. Martin. During this vacation, she claims he pressured her into a sexual relationship, threatening to send her home if she did not comply with his demands. This marked the beginning of what she describes as a prolonged period of abuse.

Upon returning from St. Martin, the woman asserts that she entered into a relationship with Gotti that lasted until 2022. Throughout this period, she alleges she was subjected to continuous abuse. The plaintiff describes instances of forced sexual acts, including a particularly traumatic incident in January 2022, where she claims Gotti coerced her into performing oral sex in a hotel elevator in Miami.

Further Incidents & Legal Action

The abuse allegedly continued with another forced sexual encounter in the back of an Uber in Atlanta later in 2022. According to the lawsuit, these repeated assaults caused the plaintiff severe emotional and psychological distress, ultimately leading to her hospitalization in a psychiatric facility. Her legal team emphasizes the profound impact of these events on her mental health.

Legal & Public Reactions

The lawsuit demands a jury trial and seeks compensatory damages for the alleged abuse. The plaintiff’s attorney, Adriana AlcaldeIn, highlights the courage required to come forward with such allegations, noting the supportive environment fostered by the #MeToo movement. Efforts to contact Gotti’s representatives for comment were unsuccessful.

50 Cent, however, didn’t spare Irv Gotti after the news broke. “The legal fee’s are gonna break his ass in half, he ain’t got no money. Welp that all folks,” he wrote on Instagram. Considering the magnitude of the allegations, we don’t expect Gotti to respond anytime soon.

Another hip-hop titan has been caught up in the rap reckoning. Since November 2023, several big wigs including Diddy, Harve Pierre, and Jimmy Iovine were all accused of a varying degree of sexual misconduct. Sadly, Irv Gotti’s name has been added to this list.

According to Rolling Stone, the Murder Inc founder was recently sued for sexual assault in a Miami court.

On July 11, in court filings, the accuser (only listed as Jane Doe) alleged that Irv (real name Irving Domingo Lorenzo) abused her in 2020 and 2022. “After flying her to Saint Martin, Lorenzo coerced plaintiff into having sex with him,” read the documents. “Lorenzo specifically threatened plaintiff that he would send her home if she did not comply with his demands. Accordingly, and due to his power and influence in the music world, she complied.”

The first supposed incident took place in 2020. Afterward, Doe claimed to have tied into an “abusive relationship” with Lorenzo for the next two years. While in the relationship, she claimed to have been pressured to “perform unwanted sexual acts” including as the complaint alleged included in 2022 being forced to “perform oral sex in an elevator of a Four Seasons Miami and in an Uber trip in Atlanta.”

Jane Doe is seeking compensatory damages (to be determined at trial) for the claims listed in her filing. Irv Gotti has not yet responded to the accusations.

Irv Gotti Sued For Alleged Multiple Accounts Of Sexual Assault On The Same Woman

July 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Outsiders and fans of artists on the Murder Inc. Records label have been suspicious of Irv Gotti for quite some time. Part of their skepticism comes from his uncomfortable past comments about one of his biggest signees, Ashanti. On numerous occasions, the record producer claimed to have been in romantic relationship with the R&B star. However, she put those comments to bed in a past interview. “Let’s clear this up. We’re not gonna say relationship. We dealt with each other, but was Irv my boyfriend? Was I his girlfriend? Never…Irv had several girlfriends, so I’m a little confused by the label and the description”. Now, you could call these fortune tellers truth tellers after Irv Gotti’s recent sexual assault accusations.

According to a report from Miami New Times, the controversial label head is being sued by a woman who is being referred to as, Jane Doe. She filed the lawsuit in Miami-Dade County on July 11 and according to the documents, Doe claims that there were three separate times in which these assaults occurred. They allegedly took place from 2020 to 2022 in Miami, Atlanta, and Saint Martin. In one portion of the lawsuit, it says that this has continued to affect Doe even until now.

Fans Are Not Too Shocked About Irv Gotti’s Sexual Assault Allegations

I’LL SAY IT: Ashanti was like 20 & Irv Gotti was 10 years older, in control of her career with power dynamics; it’s giving he preyed on her.

It’s creepy & some would say sexual assault, cause no consent. What if she felt she had to be with him for her career? #MurderIncStoryBET pic.twitter.com/F8VsPv09N8

“As a result of this sexually abusive relationship, Plaintiff has suffered severe emotional and psychological harm for which she had to be committed to a psychiatric ward. These injuries continue and affect Plaintiff to this day.” This woman states that her and Irv Gotti met through a mutual friend at a poker tournament in the summer of 2020. That is when he invited on a trip to Saint Martin where he eventually tried to force her to have sex. Apparently, if Doe did not comply, Gotti was going to send her on her way. That appears to be when they began their two-year relationship. In the suit, she says she only stayed “due to his power and influence in the music world”.

As for the Miami assault, Irv Gotti attempted to convince the woman to give him oral sex in a Four Seasons hotel elevator. Then, in Atlanta, Gotti forced her to perform the same act in the back of an Uber after flying her out. That allegedly was the final straw for Doe, and she wound up breaking things off and since then, she claims that Gotti has been attacking her on his “vast social network in and around Los Angeles,”. So far Gotti does not have an attorney, nor has he commented on any of these allegations. For now, keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Irv Gotti and this developing story. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Today In Hip Hop History: Ja Rule’s ‘Venni Vetti Vecci’ LP Turns 25 Years Old!

June 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On this day in Hip Hop history, Queens rapper Ja Rule released his debut LP Venni Vetti Vicci. As the first release ofrom Irv Gotti‘s Murder Inc. record label, this project carried a lot of weight on its shoulders as the breakthrough for not only Ja Rule’s career but the career and integrity of Murder Inc Records as a whole.

Fortunately enough, the album was a hit and launched Ja Rule and Murder Inc. up among the ranks of some of New York’s most respected and successful rappers. Ja Rule’s force, style, and energy blended perfectly with and help grow the popularity of the East Coast hardcore movement that was taking place in the late 90s and early 2000s.

The mix of high energy, club jam production and hardcore gangster lyricism is what made this album so appealing. Although it could be said that Ja Rule wasn’t the greatest with the pen, the party appeal of this project kept it flying off the shelves in record stores across the country. The album’s commercial reception was more than any one could ask for a debut album peaking at #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop chart and #3 on the Billboard 200 chart all while going platinum in the year of its release.

If I didn’t talk about Ashanti, you would have been like what kind of bullsh*t is this that he didn’t speak about her. She’s too important to Murder Inc. and his life. They tried to #MeToo me. You know what the f*ck they said. Stop it Shade Room. You the shadiest ones.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Nelly and Ashanti on HotNewHipHop.
