Irv Gotti’s brother, Chris Lorenzo, revealed that the rap mogul suffered a “massive hemorrhagic stroke” while eating Chinese food before his death at age 54.
Lorenzo noted that Gotti had been diagnosed with Type I diabetes in his late 40s but often avoided medical check-ups.
He described Gotti’s struggles with the disease and emphasized the importance of quality of life.
Gotti had previously mentioned his inconsistency with insulin during a 2023 interview. Lorenzo reflected on their father’s history with diabetes, highlighting the family’s health challenges.
