Created by BlackEntrepreneurProfiles.com

In his first major interview since being acquitted of federal charges which alleged he and his brother laundered drug money for a notorious crack kingpin. Irv Gotti will be making several appearances on variou BET programs today.

Irving Lorenzo aka Irv Gotti will shares his thoughts about those crucial moments in exclusive interviews with BET News, BET's RAP CITY and BET.com.

On the Investigation and The Inc. Label Being Watched by Federal Law Enforcement...

"My brother-in-law had told me, back in '98, '99, that he was friends with somebody in the federal government. He said 'Irv, yo' my friend told me you're on the 'being watched' list.' Like he told me and I shrugged it off . . . They've been watching me since 1997, which is scary, and they've been listening to my conversations. They've been reading my text messages since 1997. Yo, that's crazy. For what, because I'm friends with Supreme (New York drug lord Kenneth 'Supreme' McGriff)?"

On Whether the Hip-Hop Community is Being Targeted Unfairly by the Government...

"With this hip-hop thing, it's like they want to put a negative thing to the masses, that this hip-hop thing, I guess, is bad. And look who're the people they hang with, and look at this and look at that."

His Feelings About the Trial and Verdict...

"It's kind of hard for me to articulate exactly what my heart and mind is feeling. It's just unbelievable. You're up there for your life. You've got 12 jury persons. During the whole time you know you didn't do none of this."

Segments of Gotti's interview will appear on BET as part of the network's daily news briefs schedule today (December 13) at approximately 3:20 p.m., 5:20 p.m. and 7:40 p.m. ET/PT.
