French Montana Reacts to Being Called Most Streamed African-Born Artist
French Montana & 2Rare Turn Up Gaucho’s South Bronx Gym In “RATATAAAAA” Music Video
French Montana previously began the year on a high note with the arrival of his previously delayed Coke Boys 6 project. Across 20 titles, the “Unforgettable” artist collaborated with names like Vory, Jeremih, Benny The Butcher, and EST Gee, just to name a few. Fans were obviously hyped to have new music from Montega, though the hype didn’t last long before tragedy struck.
A few days after the Gangsta Grillz tape landed, a shooting broke out during one of French’s music video shoots in Miami. The 38-year-old thankfully wasn’t harmed, however, his bodyguard and fellow rapper Rob49 weren’t so lucky. Both have since recovered from their injuries, though police have since tried to pin the incident on Montana.
Despite the drama, the Morocco-born rhymer continues to put his music first. Following the arrival of CB6 last month, he returned this Friday (February 10) with an amped-up club anthem called “RATATAAAA.” Montana made the track in tandem with 2Rare, who’s best known for working with NLE Choppa on last October’s “Do It Again.”
The song’s lyrics are mostly repetitive, but it’s the beat behind them that really shines. “Bitch, I’m him, bitch, I’m him, pretty faces if they slim / Bitch, I’m flexin’, need no gym, bitch, I’m ballin’, need no rim,” the “Mopstick” artist raps. In the accompanying visual, he and 2Rare markedly bring their energy to Gaucho’s Gym in the South Bronx along with plenty of friends.
Stream French Montana and 2Rare’s club anthem, “RATATAAAAA” on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, tell us your thoughts on the new single in the comments. Additionally, you can find more release recommendations on our Fire Emoji playlist tomorrow (February 11).
Quotable Lyrics:
Bitch, I’m him, bitch, I’m him, pretty faces if they slim
Bitch, I’m flexin’, need no gym, bitch, I’m ballin’, need no rim
I’m viral, need no film, need that B, I don’t need no Ms
That ass fat when she CashApp, duck your iPhone screen, I tap that, haan

French Montana Calls 50 Cent ‘Biggest Genius in the Industry’
French Montana Claims 50 Cent Was The ‘Biggest Genius’ For Using Beef To Sell And Market Records
French Montana recently appeared on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion, where the rapper opened up about his views on fellow musician 50 Cent.
“50 was picking on n***** to pick on n*****. At one point, he was the biggest genius in the music industry,” he claimed. “He would just pick on you and drop a mixtape. Pick on you and drop an album.
“He kinda created that marketing scheme for a lot of artists to use. I mean people did it before him, but he became the mastermind he became the warlord of that… That’s definitely a blueprint for a lot of n***** to learn.”
The two previously had some documented beef that began over a Bugatti and 50 claiming that French faked his music streams. However, the two appeared to have squashed it last November after French Montana expressed his love for 50 Cent’s show, BMF.
“Man, let me tell you something,” French said on Drink Champs. “I have no problem with 50 no more after he dropped this BMF joint. That’s my favorite sh*t. Whatever me and 50 ever had – shout out to 50. Yeah, me and him, everything is over after BMF. That’s the best work ever.”
“That was the right answer French, well handled,” 50 Cent responded. “What beef, I don’t remember.”
Here’s hoping this doesn’t reignite any bad blood.
French Montana Recalls When 50 Cent “Was Pickin’ On N*ggas”
As he awaits the prison release of his good friend Max B, French Montana is on a press run for Coke Boys 6. The recently released Gangsta Grillz project is being scrutinized by Hip Hop Heads worldwide, and as they dissect, French also sat down with My Expert Opinion. Math Hoffa’s famed YouTube series has often delivered hot takes from Rap’s elite. This time, the crew was revisiting when 50 Cent was targeting his foes decades ago.
Over the years, Fif has engaged in beefs with several of his peers. Ja Rule, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, and even his son Marquise Jackson have been on the wrong side of the Power mogul. “50 was picking on n*ggas to pick on n*ggas,” said French.

He continued, “At one point, he was the biggest genius in the music industry,” he claimed. “He would just pick on you and drop a mixtape. Pick on you and drop an album.”
“He kinda created that marketing scheme for a lot of artists to use.” It has certainly been beneficial in today’s culture of Hip Hop. “I mean, people did it before him, but he became the mastermind. He became the warlord of that.”
“That’s definitely a blueprint for a lot of n*ggas to learn.”

[WATCH] French Montana Teams with Vory for “Project Baby (Remix)” Video from ‘CB6’
French Montana collaborates with Vory on the new “Project Baby (Remix)” music video. The tune focuses on the artists’ rise from the projects to where they are now, and serves as the third video since the release of CB6: Money Heist Edition via Coke Boys Records.
The video for “Project Baby (Remix)” transports viewers to an underground party, where guests are shown smoking, drinking, and playing dice in a circle, while cuts to south Bronx imagery fill the screen. Montana is shown in found film and contemporary photos dancing to trap music and rapping rhymes on top of cars and in the middle of a dice game. Pit bulls, four-wheelers, and individuals in masks smoking are among the frames, and the deep bass helps paint a picture of struggle and survival.
Earlier this week, French Montana revealed Max B will be released from prison this year. The announcement was alongside Montana’s new video for “Lemonade,” with Max asking for the Coke Boys 6 rapper to announce his return home. According to HipHopDX, Max was serving time in crimes related to armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated assault and felony murder.
