Drake Allegedly Cease & Desisted French Montana Over “Splash Brothers” Verse

by

Rick Ross just ramped up rap’s civil war by dropping a response diss to Drake, on which he takes a lot of shots at his alleged surgeries, racial insecurity, label prospects, and more. However, one of the most notable lines sought to claim that the OVO mogul sent French Montana a cease and desist letter. “You sent the police, n***a, hatin’ on my dog project,” Rozay said on the cut after this accusation, and it’s important to note that this is still speculation since French hasn’t commented on it at press time. As such, fans began to theorize as to what this letter could’ve meant, and the common conclusion is that it was because of a song (or verse) that didn’t make his most recent album, Mac & Cheese 5.

Furthermore, some fans believe that this references a leaked track called “Big Pun” which apparently featured Drake. In fact, rumors floated that this song would appear on French Montana’s next project when a snippet surfaced in May of 2023 before a full leak in December of that year, and there was also speculation that Metro Boomin produced it. Of course, this is very interesting because of Metro’s current feud with Drizzy. But it probably wouldn’t have been of much note if it wasn’t for this recent context.

Drake’s Leaked Verse On French Montana’s “Splash Brothers”: Listen

On the other hand, the more widely believed theory about this alleged cease and desist letter is that it’s about the track “Splash Brothers” off of Mac & Cheese 5. While this track does appear on the album with features from Lil Wayne and, ironically enough, Rick Ross, it was supposedly meant to be on French Montana’s previous album and with a Drake feature instead of Tunechi. It would make more sense if this is why the Maybach Music Group honcho is invested in this track rather than caring about the unreleased song “Big Pun.” Also, he would likely have more first-hand knowledge of it.

Meanwhile, we wonder if this means the Moroccan-American artist will have to “pick a side” now or if he’d rather stay out of this. He and the 6ix God have some collaborations and good times to look back on, and it seemed like everything was good between them. We’ll see what else comes of this in the near future.

Rick Ross Seemingly Called Drake A ‘White Boy’ And Suggested He Got A Nose Job On His Scathing Diss Track, ‘Champagne Moments’

The rap game is a blood bath this weekend. Three weeks after the release of Future and Metro Boomin‘s collaborative album We Don’t Trust You, Drake seemingly responded to the album’s Kendrick Lamar-assisted “Like That,” on which, Lamar is thought to have dissed Drake and J. Cole. Earlier today (April 13), A track by Drake called “Push Ups” surfaced online. Certain lines from the song were interpreted as subliminal shots toward Lamar, Metro, The Weeknd, and Rick Ross. While the song garnered much buzz, Drake may not get the last laugh in this ongoing war of words.

Hours after “Push Ups” leaked online, Ross shared “Champagne Dreams,” which is thought to be a response toward Drake. Though Ross doesn’t call out Drake by name, the song features an audio clip from an interview with Drake, during which, he praises Ross. But now, it appears idols have turned rivals.

Throughout the song, Ross seemingly refers to Drake as “white boy.” He also seems to accuse him of leaking “Push Ups” to generate buzz online.

But in one of the more shocking accusations, Ross implies that Drake got a nose job, as a means to fit in with Eurocentric beauty norms.

“You ain’t never want to be a n***a anyway, n***a /. That’s why you had an operation to make your nose smaller than your father nose,” raps Ross.

“Champagne Moments” hasn’t been formally released to DSPs yet. But you can listen to a clip of the song above.

Busta Rhymes Seen In Club Altercation At French Montana’s Album Party

by

Busta Rhymes recently attended French Montana’s album release party for Mac & Cheese 5 in New York City, but he found much more trouble than he anticipated. Moreover, a video surfaced via The Shade Room on Instagram of him, his entourage, and security getting into it with rapper Nizzle Man. Apparently, from what the video shows, he was struggling to get into Busta’s section at the club. Nizzle fell down (whether he tripped or was pushed, we don’t know), and you can see the BLOCKBUSTA MC in his face aggressively as he pushes him away from their space at the event.

Furthermore, these two artists don’t have any previous beef from what the media has been able to gather. As such, this is a pretty bizarre incident that could have a million different explanations, but a pretty minor thing in the grand scheme. After all, Busta Rhymes had to handle a lot of different hectic and sometimes confrontational moments during his The Final Lap tour supporting 50 Cent. But what he remembers the most from this trek -– or one big part of it -– is just how much the G-Unit mogul’s work ethic impressed him.

Busta Rhymes Confronts Nizzle Man At French Montana’s Album Party: Watch

“Big up to 50 Cent for bringin’ us out there on his Final Lap tour,” Busta Rhymes remarked to Big Boy during a recent interview earlier this month. “Not only was that probably the most incredible tour that I’ve ever been on, and I’ve been on many. I’m saying that because every night, every arena was sold out. I’ve never been on a tour for five months. […] My last show was November 21. He’s still on that same tour. 50… that’s one thing. He don’t play with that work.”

Meanwhile, another beef that the lyrical legend faced recently was with Benzino, who called him out for his collaboration with his daughter, Coi Leray. “My thing first and foremost is Benzino has my number and he knows how to reach me,” he told Angela Yee during a recent interview. “You ain’t gotta address me about nothing on no social media ‘cause you got my phone number.” For more news and the latest updates on Busta Rhymes, stay up to date on HNHH.

Out of the plethora of singles Montana dropped in 2023, only two of them made their way to Mac & Cheese 5.

French Montana Net Worth 2024: Updated Wealth Of The Rapper

by

Karim Kharbouch, widely known as French Montana, was born on November 9, 1984, in Casablanca, Morocco. The echoes of African rhythms in his childhood were a prelude to the career that awaited him. Emigrating to the Bronx, New York, at age 13, Montana soon found solace in hip-hop culture. An early love for rap and a talent for lyrical expression drove him to create mixtapes and street DVDs. French Montana was no overnight success; he hustled his way from the bottom, working with underground artists, till he carved his niche. It’s a rise that culminated in a net worth of $25 million in 2024, as per CAKnowledge.

French Montana’s career took off with the release of the Cocaine City series of street DVDs, but his collaboration with Max B truly put him on the map. Signing with Diddy’s Bad Boy Records marked a turning point, with hits like “Pop That” and “Unforgettable” storming the charts. His studio albums, such as Excuse My French and Jungle Rules, were commercially successful and critically acclaimed. Collaborations with Drake, Lil Wayne, and Rick Ross have only strengthened Montana’s position in the rap industry. His often lavish and cinematic music videos added another layer to his appeal.
