Music Super Producer Irv Gotti Reportedly ‘Declared Dead’ at 54, Following Stoke

Hip-hop legend Irv Gotti who co-founded label Murder Inc Records back in 1998 has died.

Sources tell AllHipHop Irv Gotti, the legendary Hip-Hop producer and Murder Inc. co-founder, was “declared dead” Wednesday morning (February 5) at the age of 54. “Declared dead” could mean a couple of different things. Legally, it means a person has been recognized as no longer alive.

The most common way to declare death is a “circulatory death,” which occurs when a person’s heart stops beating and they stop breathing permanently. It can happen after a heart attack or if CPR or breathing machines are unsuccessful. “Brain death,” on the other hand, occurs when a person has sustained a catastrophic brain injury that permanently stops all brain function, which can happen after a massive stroke or traumatic brain injury. A person may be brain dead even if their heart is still beating with the help of a ventilator.

The news comes days after he suffered another stroke, causing a brain bleed. The circumstances surrounding his condition have yet to be revealed, but Gotti has a history of health ailments.

Reps for the music mogul have remained silent, leaving fans and industry insiders speculating as they rally behind him. In early 2024, Gotti disclosed the toll the disease had taken on his life. “Diabetes is deteriorating my body,” he admitted in a candid interview, adding that he had struggled to adhere to a healthy lifestyle and manage his insulin intake consistently.

Actor Jamie Foxx posted and deleted a tribute to Gotti on Instagram.

“Wow rest in power my brother. Your music and your legacy will never be forgotten…. Irv you have spread a lot of love and a lot of wisdom to everyone that you met rest up.!”
