French Montana has certainly had his share of success in the past year, signing a deal with Bad Boy and Maybach Music Group, while landing collaborations with the likes of Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, and more.
Still, French hasn’t forgotten his source of inspiration, which also serves as a cautionary tale. “My best friend (rapper Max B) is serving 75 years in prison,” said French in an interview with USA Today. “Only one of us made it. I think about all this when I make music, of all the sacrifices made. Nothing is just going to come to you, you have to make it happen.”
The rapper also recalled surviving a gunshot wound to the head in the Bronx. “I try not to bring that memory back. I’m glad I made it through that time, but, yeah, that experience was part of the album.”
Finally, French Montana spoke on how he intends to raise his son, who is now three years-old. “Kids who have everything grow up thinking that everybody owes them,” he explained. “I want him to grow up like me. I want him to struggle a little so he knows how to be a man. I’ve got to leave him in the desert, and when he gets older, he’ll understand why his father left him like that.”

I wonder if he was as retarded as he is now before he got shot
Naw he was even more stupid. This nigga couldn’t even finish a bar on da beat b4 he was shot. Dat shot to da head motivated his fake thug ass to get out da bx
LMAO hes just using that as an excuse he got grazed he didnt get shot. Hes just slow from all of the lean n whatever else he takes thats why he sounds retarded
He didnt get shot he got grazed hes lying. He said this in an old interview but hes trying to make himself look like a street dude…
Like an interview explains the realities of the streets in Bronx, NY. Frenchie was in the streets and being grazed still means you were shot. Grow up child.
Why don’t you go get grazed by a bullet then come back and explain how it feels.
i imagine it feels like nothing, maybe like a breeze blowing past the side of your head
FRENCH MONTANA IS A REAL GANGSTA. HIP HOP NEEDS MORE RAPPERS LIKE HIM WHO WILL SPEAK DEIR MINDS. HE KILLED 50 TYCON ON TWITTER THO.
why wont anyone ask him about filming dj khaled’s mom for 50 cent? why does dj khaled still fuck with him?
Cuz they make each other money and that’s more important to those greedy industry slaves than actual friendship, loyalty, trust, and respect. These interviewers are too politically correct to ask real questions like that so they just avoid it, and if brought up, these fags avoid the question anyways to avoid having their image ruined. Just like when Ross was confronted about being a CO in a interview. “Look, the boss done did it all to get money.” So why the fuck did you lie about it when you came in the rap game? I think these people really believe their own lies lol and they think if they just avoid the subject long enough people will forget and move on. Real recognize Real, fake recognize fake, and Khaled, Ross, Montana are all perfect for each other.
a lot of haters in here!!! niggas find a reason to hate on anything
“i imagine it feels like nothing, maybe like a breeze blowing past the side of your head”
Yeah, you imagine from your parents house in nowhere ville. A bullet can still touch you when your grazed. That’s closer than most people would ever want to be to a bullet.
50 took 9 shots he aint feel nothin
Getting shot seems to be the best thing a rapper can do for his career. Brilliant
“50 took 9 shots he aint feel nothin”
Let’s ask 2pac how it felt. Oh wait. We can’t. Grow up.
thats what im saying 50 is way tougher than pac and biggie!
I hope this clown gets shot again real soon.I cant believe rap fans support this fag and his garbage raps. If you like this dude, killyoself asap
Get social services on this nug quick he already has intentions of neglecting his child… smh jus another statistic…
u wanna leave your son in desert so he can struggle like u did? wtf isnt fatherhood all about not letting your son have to go thru the struggles you did and providing a better life for your own if you have the means to
you know his baby moms aint gonna like that desert shit, she gonna make him pay
what a idiot if he leaves his 3yo in the desert itll prob die or get eaten by a mountain lion or something.
Deserts isnt what they used to be its not safe for little babies to be out in that shit by itself son.
Anyone know which dessert this dickheads babys left in? If you live near that shit someone should pick that kid up breh. Kids cant just raise themselves in desserts. Theres no water.
I dont even believe his daddy left him in the dessert. what desserts near BX. no dessert thats what dessert. stop lying,
lots of desserts in bx homie
they got cakes, pies, tarts, cookies, squares, you name it they got it somewhere in bx
oh did you mean the desert?
he didnt get left in the desert his refering the desert to the bronx the bronx was the desert get your facts right
These French rappers are frauds. If a real bx dude says desert it means desert. Pffft fuck outt a here wit this fagit. That was no bullet that grazed his head that was a stank penis yo.
“I dont even believe his daddy left him in the dessert”
Are you saying Montana left his son in the dessert section at Hometown Buffet? If that’s true, call TMZ.
Na breh shit ain’t sweet in the bx. Nothing sweet about it.
he doesn’t actually mean hes going to leave his son in the desert you stupid fucks, its called a “metaphor” or figure of speech if you will… in other words hes not going to give him everything he asks for so he knows how to work for it when he gets older instead of expecting hand outs… oh and French is from Morocco where i’m pretty sure there are plenty of deserts…go fuck yourself
