Two weeks after sending shock waves through the entertainment industry at the news of his death, producer and music executive Irv Gotti was laid to rest at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York on Wednesday (February 19).
The memorial service not only drew some of the Murder Inc. founder’s closest friends and family but also a star-studded list of celebrities including label artists Ja Rule, Ashanti, Lloyd, and Charlie Baltimore as well as JAY-Z, Fat Joe, Angie Martinez, Gayle King, Benny Boom, Hype Williams, and more.
And while the funeral was a private affair, footage surfaced of Rule (born Jeffrey Atkins) delivering a tearful eulogy in tribute to his former label head and longtime friend.
