Irv Gotti Breaks Down Why He'll Never Give Ashanti Her Masters

Whether talking about his alleged romance with Ashanti or explaining why he fell out with Jennifer Lopez, Irv Gotti's interview on Drink Champs has a bunch of memorable moments.

One in particular is when the music exec explained why he won't be giving Ashanti back her master recordings. 

Last year, the R&B singer told Tamron Hall that she'll be re-recording her self-titled debut, something that Irv also addressed.

"I feel I was always very good to my artists," he explained. "Artists have a way of getting money. Rule makes a lotta money doing shows, Ashanti makes a lotta money doing shows. So, what's left for the guy who was the record label who helped make the record? How I make money out of this, is the masters. So, how am I supposed to feel when you want to remove that aspect? You really basically saying you don't want [my children] them to eat."

Who are you siding with on this one, Irv or Ashanti?
