Jonathan Majors And Meagan Good Go Shopping In Morocco

by

Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good have reportedly been dating since mid-May. The story was first broken by TMZ on May 13, when a source revealed that the pair had been spotted at LA’s Alamo Drafthouse during the weekend of May 6. On May 21, it was reported that the two had been seen holding hands while boarding a flight in New York City. Furthermore, on May 24, the rumored couple was seen eating at a Red Lobster with Good’s family.

However, the alleged relationship has received a cold reception from fans. Many people are viewing it as a PR move to mitigate Majors’ current legal issues. The 33-year-old actor is currently facing charges in New York for the alleged assault of his then-girlfriend in late March. While Majors has denied the allegations and his lawyer has claimed it’s a racially-motivated “witch hunt”, the legal proceedings are currently moving forwards. Despite this, the couple, neither of whom has yet confirmed the relationship, appears to be taking their romance aboard.

TMZ has obtained photos that show Majors and Good in Fez, a major tourism destination in Morocco. In the images, the couple is seen pursuing a pottery store, which has since been identified as Art Naji. Art Naji bills itself the “biggest handmade factory shop of pottery and zellij” in Fez. Zellij is a style of mosaic tilework that is comprised of individual, hand-chiseled tiles. The earliest examples of zellij discovered in Morocco date back to the 10th Century. Furthermore, Fez remains the primary, and most prestigious, hub of zellij production.

However, it’s not the first bit of traveling the couple has done together. Majors and Good have been spotted together in both New York City and Los Angeles in recent weeks. While it is unknown how long they are spending in Morrocco, it’s unlikely to be an extended vacation. Majors is due back in court in New York City on June 13.

Ronaldo was beside himself after his Portugal squad was stunned 1-0 by Morocco in their the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal match on Saturday, December 10. French Montana does not feel bad for him. The Moroccan-American rapper was already riding high from Morocco’s Cinderella run making it past Spain, but becoming the first-ever African country to compete in a men’s World Cup semifinals (as noted by ESPN) left French Montana in a state of pure euphoria.

French Montana began his celebration by trolling Ronaldo, partially captioning his first Instagram post, “Ronaldo u had your time g … it’s Morocco time lol.” He followed that up by photoshopping himself sitting across from Ronaldo and playing chess with the even more savage caption, “🇲🇦 RONALDOO 😂😆AIRPORT THIS WAY 👉🏻👉🏻”

IRL, French Montana was fully engaged in an overwhelming Times Square celebration. “Hours later after a ig post !MASHALLAHHHHH REAL LOVE ! YOU AINT NEVER SEEN THIS MANY MORROCANS [sic] IN 42nd street 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦 NYC FEEL LIKE CASABLANCA RN,” the diamond-certified artist caption an Instagram video of cheering fans waving Moroccan flags. In another video, French Montana holds up the flag and says to the camera, “Morocco, we outside!”

French Montana was born in Casablanca, Morocco before his family relocated to the South Bronx in New York City when he was 13. “It was a culture shock at first. It was hard,” he told Esquire earlier this year, noting he only spoke Arabic and French at the time. He added, “I take all the pride in being from the Bronx. You could become a rapper anywhere in the world. Still, to do it in the mecca of hip-hop, where all the pillars come from, makes me even more proud.”

Morocco will try to make him the most proud on Wednesday, December 14, when they go up against the reigning World Cup champion and perennial favorite France in the semifinals. The match begins at 2 p.m. EST on FOX.

French Montana Leads Morocco World Cup Celebration In New York

Like many of us, French Montana has been watching the World Cup closely. One of the biggest surprises of the tournament has been the Moroccan National Team. Firstly, they were able to win their group which featured Belgium, Croatia, and Canada.

Additionally, they upset Spain in the Round of 16. From there, they defeated Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portuguese in the Quarter-Finals. This was a complete shock to the soccer world as Morocco is the first African nation to make it to the final four. However, French Montana seemingly knew this was their destiny, all along.

French is of Moroccan descent, and he can’t get enough of what his team is accomplishing right now. As it stands, Morocco has only given up one goal all tournament, and it was an own-goal against Canada. Overall, Morocco looks like it has a real chance of winning the tournament, although they need to get past France later this week.

French Montana Celebrates.

For now, however, French Montana is focusing on his team’s latest win. In fact, on Saturday night, French took to the streets of New York and Times Square. While there, he was front and center for a Moroccan celebration. Numerous fans of the team were celebrating every which way, and it was truly incredible to see. You can just tell how much all of this means to the country.

For any country, going far in the World Cup is a huge accomplishment. These tournaments can be insanely unpredictable, and Morocco’s success is further proof of that. However, it is important to note that they have played some impeccable team defense that should be commended and respected by every other team

As it stands, the only teams left are Morocco, France, Argentina, and Croatia. Most fans believe a France Vs. Argentina final is inevitable, although no one can count out the Moroccans.

Let us know who you think will win the tournament, in the comments section down below.

Morocco’s World Cup Victory Has French Montana Ready To Head To Qatar And Support His Home Country

Morrocco were a major long shot to advance into the knockout stage of the World Cup in Qatar. They were placed in a very tough group with FIFA’s No. 2 team in the world, Belgium, perennial World Cup darlings Croatia, and a stout Canadian squad. But the Moroccan team defied all odds in beating Belgium, advancing into a knockout game against 2010 champion Spain and then beating them in a stunner to advance into the quarterfinal. But they didn’t just beat them, they played to a grueling 0-0 draw and then shut them out in a penalty shootout. It was a triumphant moment, one of the best in the World Cup thus far, and Morocco’s most famous hip-hop personality, French Montana, was beyond hyped.

French Montana was born in Casablanca and while he moved to New York City when he was 13, the South Bronx rapper is undoubtedly a Moroccan immigrant success story. So when the match ended in victory for his homeland’s team, Montana seemed to be ready to speed dial his travel agent and head out to Qatar for their quarterfinal match this coming Saturday. “WOWWWWW [Moroccan flag emojis] Moroccan heroes congratulations I guest we flyin to QATAR,” he wrote in an Instagram post along with three slider images of the victorious squad.

If this World Cup is missing anything, it’s rappers sitting courtside… err… pitchside. Here’s hoping we see styled-out French Montana there for Morocco’s match against the winner of the Portugal/Spain match. Given his prolific trend of making music videos for what seems like every song, he might just need to get a +1 for his director, too.
