French Montana was featured on the cover of XXL on Monday (December 28), but Internet trolls couldn’t help but call him out for having fake abs in the photo.
As it turns out, the South Bronx native wasn’t at all oblivious to the comments. On Tuesday (December 29), he responded to haters with a clip from behind the scenes, proving there was no airbrushing involved while referencing his own experience with being tricked online.
“They said I spray painted my six pack on,” he wrote on Instagram. “I got catfished too many times to catfish my people lol I just got to it! Nothing beats hard work and always remember there’s some people out there that don’t want you to be great #2021 #bts #xxlcovershoot.”
In the cover story, the Coke Boys rapper revealed his week-long hospital stay in 2019 was caused by a combination of drugs, alcohol, fatigue, dehydration and losing himself to the wrong things.
“I was runnin’ for like a good 20 years without a break, and God put a stop to that,” he revealed. “I had a little health scare. I tell people all the time, ‘If you don’t end up in the ICU after your birthday, then it wasn’t a good birthday.'”
French also admitted taking Adderall to stay awake and Percocets for pain relief went from being a “hobby” to an addiction.
“It was just overdoing something for too long,” he said. “And, to the point where, now sober is becoming my new high. People seen I was out of control, not me, you know what I’m saying? ’Cause, you know, it’s almost like, you know, working out. You don’t see you getting big ’cause you see yourself every day. It’s the same thing with you being out of control.”
French Montana Signs Buzzing New York Rapper CJ Who Vows To 'Bring N.Y. Back'
Earlier in December, French went on vacation with Drake in Turks & Caicos, and teased new music ahead of Drizzy’s Certified Lover Boy album — set to arrive in January.
LOL @ 20 years without a break. These guys are constantly on vacations, chilling on islands, beaches and yachts. This guy filmed DJ Khaleds mom sleeping at work for 50.
He may have been referring to the amount of years he was on drugs, alcohol, etc.
Naw he meant 20 yrs with no break on drinking and drugs, y’all just don’t know how fucked up he used to get or other entertainers get, they have handlers that clean shit up and sneak them out the back door so it don’t make the news, IG etc I was just having a convo the other day and his name came up and he had stopped by a friends party and they was like he was sober, i was surprised like are you sure? But her got cleaned up.
Lol, mad for no reason.
Lol, French Montana is on Tinder.
this just means he went to Dr Miami
if wheelchair jimmy did it , so did he
Why are the abs the only noticeable muscle he has? If he had been actually working out he would have shoulders, arms, and legs. Obviously fake and paid for. His bicep looks indented. He shouldn’t even bother defending himself.
