Moroccan-born artist French Montana was among a handful of rappers arrested on Friday, January 31 after attending a pre-Super Bowl party at Brooklyn’s Club Lust. French and the two other rappers arrested, Chinx Drugz and Jadakiss, were released the day after they were booked by authorities.
French Montana briefly shared the details of the arrest while speaking to TMZ. According to the Coke Boys emcee, he was arrested due to a warrant that stemmed from 2008.
“You know what, it was a reality check, man,” he said. “They make you remember where you come from…They said I had a warrant from ’08…I do a party every weekend and this one weekend they grab me.”
Despite the arrest, French appeared to be in high spirits, a mood he attributed to having a good lawyer.
“Yeah, I’m happy, man. I’m doing good. I’m doing excellent, man. I got a good lawyer. I just had to let the people know, so they can know that it don’t matter where you come from or how big you make it they still wanna—you see that right there,” said French while pointing at a police van. “They waiting on me. Nah, they waiting on me too.”
Although details on the arrest of the trio remain scarce, both Jadakiss and Chinx Drugz did confirm that the incident did in fact happen in a handful of tweets sent last Saturday, February 1.
French Montana is currently at work on his next studio album, Mac & Cheese 4, a project he says will bring him back to the essence.
“I’m going back to the essence on this album,” he said. “We’re giving the fans that grew up on me what they want. When we made the other music, it was just to be a little different and not do the same thing over.”

” it dont matter where you come from or how big you make it they still wanna”
they still wanna what? arrest bum rappers that have open warrants?
If it was for selling coke or a gun charge he would be bragging about it so you already know it was something not very gangster-esque like child support or credit card fraud.
i dont believe him something else went down because he arrived with a police escort and niggas was laughing and shouting and he quickly dipped inside and probably needed a excuse for why he was leaving with them.
Who get’s arrested and says “I love it”
Frank Ocean
and apparently French Montana,
Someone should tell him the whole point of that beanie he got on is to cover his ears and keep his head warm outside in the cold… And why is he always trying to hide them eyebrows?
Most of you commenting sound like Cops on the low.
Frenchies the one that pulled up to the club with a police escort last weekend, even though he aint worried bout nothin.
Good to see them brothers free, I don’t wish jail on no colored folks, but warrants can be on something as stupid as some parking tickets so you gots to be careful to handle your bis’
“I don’t wish jail on no colored folks”
not even the ones who commit heinous crimes?
The word “wish”
i wish jail upon all the colored crack dealers and rapists
Damn NY Pigs are slipping if it took them that long to run into French
This fuckboy who sold out thinking he’s a down south artist NIGGA YOU FROM NY
