[QUOTE="HotNewHipHop, post: 62016, member: 83"] Each [I]Drink Champs[/I] episode provides several takeaways that often go viral, but few have been so incendiary as Irv Gotti and Ja Rule's appearance. The friends double-teamed the series and discussed all things Murder Inc as the documentary is on the horizon, and during the discussion, Ashanti was a hot topic. We've been steadily reporting on the evolution of those remarks and how they have affected social media conversations, including an addition from Fat Joe who [URL='https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/irv-gotti-says-ashanti-ran-like-a-cockroach-when-he-was-arrested-news.156192.html']wasn't happy with Irv's comments.[/URL] Joe and Irv have been friends for decades, but the Bronx emcee called Gotti a "sucka." Irv would later say that Fat Joe[URL='https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/irv-gotti-reacts-to-fat-joe-calling-him-a-sucka-over-ashanti-hes-not-my-friend-news.156156.html'] was no longer his friend,[/URL] and it seems the two are dealing with that fallout behind the scenes.
