At first glance, French Montana may seem an odd candidate to appear in an issue of GQ. However, the Bad Boy/Maybach Music Group emcee is known for his unique fashion sense.
In an interview with the magazine, French discussed his “obsession” with Versace, touching on its history in Hip Hop: “I have been a fan of Versace for so long, watching people like Biggie, Puff, Jay-Z. I’ve been collecting them for a while now.”
Montana was asked why a brand with so much silk, bright colors, and flowery designs, would be appealing to hardcore emcees. “Rappers make something Hip Hop,” explained French. “Like when Biggie wore the yellow one, the one that I wore for Summer Jam, he made it Hip Hop. And when he wore the Coogi sweater, he made that Hip Hop. Whatever rappers wear is cool to people.”
French elaborated on his distinct style, which has included items such as his infamous bear hat. “I like colorful stuff. I like wearing stuff that nobody is wearing. That’s why I wear the bear hat. I’ll wear the whole mink. You wear the animal, but you don’t wear the head. I’m wearing the head this time around. It just like how took the silk shirt game to another level and went and got the scarves—looked like King Jaffe Joffer out there. You know?”

People only like Versace because its expensive. Their shirts are just as ugly now as they were when biggie wore them.
These faggots clearly don’t realize that wearing diamond chains that hang down to your stomach isn’t style. It’s more like bragging ‘I have money, you don’t faggot.’
these dudes be on some homo ish with that lepord print shirts,shoes, and all that..i could care less if its versace ..its this group of about 300 ppl that sit down and discuss what the new trend is gonna be in society and they use rappers and celebs to promote it..
bear hats are soo koooooooo
“Whatever Rappers Wear Is Cool To People” no French the world laugh at rappers because you look so lame, just because you wear Versace does NOT been you have style… Rappers have no idea about style, they look like fully grown teenagers and saying you wear Versace because biggie did shows your as brainwashed as kids buying toys because they’ve seen it on a tv show. ADVERTISING WINS AGAIN.
i been rocking versaci looking for armani.. and plenty a gear i rock start to hype…the rappers really don’t know anything special they just find a hype vendor here or abroad… think if you just went to any boutique and get what you wanted #haf #donechat
