Irv Gotti is talking about his romantic relationship with Ashanti and according to him in a recent interview, her “Happy” track was conceived right after they had relations.
According to MTO News;
In the early 2000s, then-married Irv carried on a long-term affair with R&B singer Ashanti. Ashanti has been mostly silent about the pairs torrid affair, but Irv Gotti has been constantly running his mouth about it.
This week, Irv did an interview where he went into detail about the former couple’s escapades on a recent episode of The Drink Champs podcast.
Irv claimed that Ashanti’s career was “helped” by carrying on an affair with the married producer. Irv explained, “Happy – the hit record – let me explain how that was created.”
“So we’re together … We just finished sleeping together, and I’m in the shower. A n**ga gets creative after [s*x],” Irv continued.
“I think up the whole track in the shower. I get out the shower, and called my [producer] Chink.” He then claims the song was created that very night.

People really want Irv to stop talking about Ashanti. It is weird to be that hung up on your ex-girlfriend almost 20 years later and it is even weirder knowing the fact that Irv was married the entire time this was going on.
He is out here embarrassing himself and making himself look like a lame to the entire world. We get it. You smashed, congrats, now go have a beer and be quiet.
