During a radio interview with 107.5’s DJ MoonDawg, Brooklyn rapper Red Café revealed that before the label war over fellow rapper French Montana even began he first brought up the idea of signing French to Diddy and Bad Boy Records.
“Me and French been rocking for years. I been watching French and French had a plan and he put his plan in motion. And his plan is blossoming now into something that’s real beautiful,” Red Café explained. “His grind is impeccable. I respect French totally. I brought the idea to Puff to sign French. I was like ‘Yo dawg, this is my homie and this is what he doing.’ And you know Puff was in L.A…And this was before everybody else wanted him. We was like right there though, we was like right on the time before anybody else wanted to get down with his movement. I was like ‘Yo dawg, listen. Open ya ears up and focus up on this. This is a dope move.’ So I respect that I support French movement.”
On top of giving Diddy and Bad Boy Records the French Montana cosign, Red Café also warned French about signing to Akon’s label stressing that it probably wouldn’t be the smartest move for his career.
“I was in business with Akon and he was going over to Akon…I said ‘Dawg, I don’t know if that’s the move you want to make.’ I’mma keep it 100. ‘Kon is the homie, he’s a great person but business is business,” sad Red Café. “It is what it is. I gotta feed my family. Business is business. So French as my homie I was like ‘I don’t know if that’s the move you wanna do.’ But then I cosigned the Bad Boy move…I just think sky’s the limit with it. I think it’s a great thing.”

cant decide whos a bigger loser/industry bum..
french or red cafe?
both suck immensely, both incredibly delusional, both fail to realize they are nothing but hired diddy dick sucks/tax write offs
were talkin like 10 years of not being shit, 10 years of spinning the hamster wheel getting nowhere. way to go slave boy, you got french locked up in a slave deal too.
back in the day, when diddy had niggas like shyne, black rob, and the lox, i was mad they were on getting iced. im actually happy diddy is icing these bums, they suck and i hope diddy sucks em dry.
Cosign,Bad Boy aint been shit since biggie died.Just a bunch of suck ups and ghostwriters for Diddy
LOL!
But is French ever going to come out with something? I’m sorry, but this situation will not work unless French got some hits on deck that we don’t know about. He isn’t that good of a rap artists. Style and presence can only take you so far. After that, you will get burned out. Plus, what if Diddy gets to making him create “club-trash music”.
What is most shocking is that these dudes have NOT paid attention to whatever past madness that Diddy has involved himself in. Strange enough.
these cats are both wack.
DIDDY needs to come holla at me ASAP
You left MMG to try to get with Bad Boy.Whats wrong with you.No Loyalty at all
You guys act like he signed them to drop music…They’re knee deep in the drug game..they launder their money through Bad Boy
and you’re a snitch.
quit bying the BS dumb shit.
if you know about it, it ain’t happening.
diddy signed fonsworth bently to clean his house and lick his cock.
french and red will happily suck cock to get on.
red looks, dresses, and acts like a homosexual. nice career he has, 10 years of nothing, riding dick, still a nobody.
thats not really something to brag about
french montana is terrible.
DIS NIGGA RIGHT HERE MAN??? NIGGA GETS NOOOO PUSSY
Two artists who could’nt spit “a bar” if their life depended on it!
This makes sense…Red Cafe didn’t want to be the wackest rapper on the label.
co-sign
wow, you actually made sense for once
who the fuck cares
(shaking my head)
And not a single fuck was given this day regarding this nonsense.
Another day, another tax write off for Puff. Yip the fuck pee.
Do you want a fucking applause Red Caf? French Montana has got one of the most irritating voices of all time, I can’t stand that motherfucker!
Fucking big co-sign bruh.
FUCK French Montana and Red Cafe!
french montana and red cafe are two of THE WORST RAP NAMES OF ALL TIME!!!!
Bahahahaha this comments are hilarious!! Because they are so true. RC been on Bad Boy for almost 3 yrs now; no album.. lmao
dont see what the hype is with French Montana.
It’s pathetic how these rappers act like signing a contract equates to a movement. They’re pawns in Diddy’s game. That’s all. Not a great future there.
He’s got an interview on You Tube where he talks and looks like a special ed bus driver. It’s taken him 10 years to get a deal. Sadly, it will take only 1 for it to go away.
Come on now, it’s not like French is nice… I like the dude but “He is a topical discussion now?” … Get you money French but I put you in the category with Waka Flaka
