Last year, former Murder Inc. head and producer Irv Gotti famously lobbied for the job of president of iconic hip hop label Def Jam. Despite some pretty big names endorsing Irv, he didn't land the gig. It seems like the mogul still hasn't gotten over the snub.

"Def Jam ain't f*cking with me, I'm too much of a n*gga," Gotti said in an interview. "Yeah. [laughs] As quoted. I mean, Def Jam, I shouldn't even comment on it because it gets me angry because there hasn't been a president since [Jay-Z], really. It's a terrible thing because it's so important to the culture and it's like they're just letting it go away, they ain't paying any attention to it. I'm from Hollis, Queens so Def Jam was my inspiration to have Murder Inc. and just for them to not have no one being president there, even after we hoot and hollered, I wanted it so bad, not even for the money or nothing. I just love the culture and Def Jam is the light of the culture. So to have no one there, the powers that be don't care. They don't care about my culture. I don't want to talk about it. Please retract the n*gga statement."
