Irv Gotti Calls Drake “Our Eminem Of Today”

For the newest Drink Champs episode, DJ EFN and N.O.R.E. welcomed Irv Gotti who made some bold claims regarding Drake that may or may have not been influenced by alcohol. In a teaser clip for the show, the Murder, Inc. co-founder elevates the Toronto rap titan to nearly god-like status.

“Drizzy, for sure, is a genius,” Gotti says. “He is, dare I say, he’s our Eminem of today.”

With the drinks flowing, Gotti appears to be slightly inebriated while making his case for the Toronto megastar.

“Drake would be selling $15 million to $20 million a club, do you realize this?” Gotti says. “So right now, he sells three, four. If he was in my era, he’d be selling 15 to 20. Once he does something outside the music genre, he’s going to see how colossal he is. That nigga’s colossal. Listen, he’s a genius. That muthafucka’s a genius, ok?”
