Irv Gotti claims he was once blackballed by the feds after he was acquitted of money laundering charges in 2005.
“When the feds come after you — what’s the character on Snoopy?” Gotti told HHDX. “He’s got a cloud that’s always raining on him. Oh, Pigpen. I was Pigpen. So it’s sunny outside, but it was raining. I would go in to have meetings with these top executives in entertainment, and I would have the best meeting. They would be like, ‘You’re really a genius. This was great.’”
The rapper didn’t have any definitive proof of the blackballing but he believes the feds spread the work not to rock with him.
“I would leave they office and nothing would happen. So basically what I felt was happening is once I left the office, someone either called them or they Googled me, and they seen the bullsh-t with the feds, and someone said, ‘Don’t f-ck with him.’ And no one f-cked with me.”
