In a recent convo on Dame’s America Nu Network YouTube channel, the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder reflected on the text he sent Irv when he learned he was sick.
About a minute into the sitdown, Dash explained that he wasn’t “surprised” about Gotti’s passing “based on what [hel knew about Gotti’s health and how he was approaching it.” However, his death “was still shocking.”
Despite their ups and downs, Dash explained that he and Gotti were always brothers. He continued: “Me and Irv weren’t seeing eye to eye for the last couple years, but when I found out the struggles, I texted him and I said, ‘Irv, regardless of what – we brothers and I don’t wanna see you die.’ I was looking at the text today. ‘Let me know how I can help you.’
According to Damon Dash, Gotti texted back, “Yo, I’m getting better, Dame.” Dash went on to say that if he had been more involved in Gotti’s life, he would’ve shown him “tough love” and made healthy living “a lifestyle for him.”

“I would’ve made it uncool to neglect your health — like to die over food don’t make no sense! It just don’t. Food is not that good that you should be leave this world for it and that your family should have you be absent,” Dash stated.
This is another important reason why people should get checked, especially men. Health is wealth and everyone needs to make sure that not only the outside looks good but the inside of their body is good too.
