Mostly because they never hung out with Mafia types. Also during their come up, Gotti had very little power left. You really have to be in their line of sight to be extorted by them. Like Sinatra, dude hung out with em, so of course he was gonna owe them money or favors. Also once said rappers got rich, they moved the fukk out of the ghetto, they aren't running in crime infested areas trying to hang out with known gang members. The mafia controls very little of NY now and back then nothing much to brag about.

The rule of Omerta is out, and everyone flips like a pancake these days, so not many want to join, or the assimilated Italians prefer to live a less crime laden lifestyle, instead prefer, gym, clothes, and pretending they have connection. Anytime some goombah tries to open his mouth about being "connected" I always laugh him off. Me and the Stoozy boys do more damage these days.
