Diddy & French Montana Announce Deal With Bad Boy

    There is no longer cause for speculation: French Montana has signed with Bad Boy Records.

    French joined Diddy on BET’s “106 & Park” this week to make the announcement.

    “For real for real, can’t nothing move in this city without us being a part of it. We the Yankees of this whole thing! It’s time for us to get what we supposed to get,” said Diddy of the signing.

    “[French] got them pinstripes on and he ready to hit it out the park,” he said of the Bronx native.

    French explained that he was happy to keep his basis of operations on the East Coast. “I really feel real good that’s why I kept it here in New York.”

    “Why would I take my talent to South Beach? When I met with Puff and sat down and really spoke, he told me a couple of things and [he] never lied to me about nothing and always kept his word. It is what it is. It’s New York. I want to bring it back to New York.”

    1. oh massa…oh massa…please release me from my contract…im starving….i need to feed my kids…please set me free….i dont wanna end up like the lox,gdep,danitykane,black rob,or end dead like biggie….

    2. Why are they making a big deal out of this? Dude barely has a buzz…I don’t know any of his songs…Not one…..But I’ve heard him rap on other peoples shit, and he was fucking garbage! 10 labels were chasing this dude?? Never in my life would I have thought the skinny, corny guy from cocaine city would have a major label deal…Hiphop is still fucking dead.

    3. well, whatever chance your career is now gone. No one has ever recovered from a Bad Boy deal. Los is trying. other than that everyone elses career has ended after fuckin wit Diddy. (MGK isnt even important)

    4. French and Puff on a track is like a contest to see who is more garbage on a track..These dudes nowadays are terrible

    5. Now that he’s signed to Bad Boy I can avoid him. If he signed with Roc Nation or G.O.O.D. Music, he would be on songs with people that I actually like.

      1. I agree with Roc Nation, but GOOD MUSIC got some wack ass artists (since Common is not signed there)

      2. who are those “wack ass artists”? The only person that everyone seems to hate on around here that’s signed to good music is Big Sean.

      1. Post the numbers to prove that ‘hoody’ – Em & 50 have gone diamond (10 million sold) multiple times with a shorter period in the game… stop playing.

    6. After Biggie Bad boy became a losing label. You sign with bad boy you get dropped and never release a album.

      Bad boy aint a real hiphop label anymore since Puffy wanted to make poprap.

      Red Cafe will get dropped to. Dude is 35 and never released a album. French Montona lol

    7. Puffy should call it Sad Boy records. When was the last time badboy had a dope hiphop release?????? 2000 the Black Rob album! Bad Boy is as dead as hiphop.

    8. Ai sato

      Wassupwith ditty signing cats with cafe names frnch montana , red cafe =*&%$-%%&%

      North dollas = gay patrone is frosty

      1. pffft, cmon guys you’re living in the past

        machine gun kelly and french montanna are the future of this rap shit! they taking over the game with diddy, gonna take that #1 spot from ymcmb

      2. how about the people on bad boys who have yet to release an album because diddy keeps delaying it. The only person who get airplay and makes albums on bad boy is diddy himself. Bad boy is a graveyard for rappers. RIP french montannas career

    10. French was alright when he first came out with uncle murda. Then he started fucking with brick squad. And it was downhill from there. And bad boys weak these days only good artist they have is red cafe, and he hasn’t been to impressive lately.

      1. This little dumb fuck said French Montana is better than Common?

        Wow! That is amazing. Only a dumb little kid would say that.

        Let me guess Lil Wayne is a better singer than Anthony Hamilton?

        Whats next with this dumb ass generation.

    11. What you people see in this nigga? I really don’t get it. It went from a time when you had to have skills, to a time when you had to have a little bit of skills and be marketable, to a time when you didn’t need any skills just a good gimmick. Now, you don’t any skills, any gimmick, or any marketability, you can just be wack in every facet and still be popular. I really don’t know what rap fans are even looking for in a artist anymore.

    12. This dude is a dummy. How you pass up kanye to fuck with puff. Puff is a user. That nigga gonna be all over your records dancing and talking stupid. When was the last hit that nigga puffy had? That nigga aligns himself with ppl that’s hot than its on to the next. These dudes just not smart businessman at all. He gonna fuck ip his brand fucking with puff.

    13. For all you mofos who say what we see in this nigga I can ask you the same thing. Drake?= (the hiphop keith sweat). Nicki? =(the the big gimmick). Soulja boy. Do I have to keep going on. Watch skills do these mofos have. None. “Im In the sky, airplane” what basic bullshit rap is this.

    14. Puffy said French Montana is the hottest rapper on the streets, what a joke!

      Wow French Montana fucking sucks.

      I hope Puff doesn’t think French Montana would bring NYC back.

    15. New York will make a comeback but it wont be French Montana who brings it back.

      The east still has the best rappers in the game regardless what any dumb kid has to say.

      Skills, flows, lyrics and Production remains dope in the east but the TV and radio does not show that.

    16. LMAO at people saying NY fell off when they go to NY websites to comment. Most of that music dropped daily comes from NY. Most of HHDX’ content is about NY rappers. Y’all keep going though.

    17. French is a garbage ass simple rapper, good riddance he signed with Bad Boy because that means we have a low chance of hearing any material from him after his next album, Bad Boy lives to fuck over their artists.

    18. yo u guys are hating on french cuz u n*ggas is figayzie..french got a street flow, he drops jewels in every 16, but since u guys aint from nyc, u wouldnt understand..its street shit, and i kno he sings on his hooks but so what??, he pays homage to max b and makes good songs..u guys are nerds for bashing this n*gga french..he just got signed, i kno its diddy, but so what?? money talks, and ya n*ggas aint sayin’ sh*t!(cuz ur broke..lol)..b.x. stand up!
