French Montana Went Off On A Black Woman’s Appearance And Got Dragged For It

No one likes being criticized, but it comes with the territory of being a famous person. Random people are going to come after you for a whole host of things that are beyond your capacity to control. There’s a right way to handle it when it happens though, and a wrong way. According to quite a few people, yesterday, French Montana may have chosen the wrong way.

Recently, someone named Chill Bill on Twitter shared this thought: “The fact that French Montana thinks anyone cares about him..” Not exactly a kind sentiment, but on the other hand, she didn’t @ French with it either. Nevertheless, the MC4 rapper caught wind of the tweet and chose to respond to the criticism with a shot of his own.

Now, there’s quite a lot to be offended by in that tweet. It’s pretty vulgar. But the aspect of it that got people heated the most was his use of the word “nappy” to describe the woman’s appearance. Coming from a non-black person, the word was taken by many to be racially insensitive.

French later tried to defend himself, saying, “My son is black, and I was born in Africa I lived there for 13 years. I ain’t no punching bag, and I don’t discriminate ! don’t come for me.” Then he offered an apology. “My mother is african queen and I was married to a beautiful black queen. All I did was defend myself if I affended anybody I apologize.”

He later called into the Breakfast Club to defend his actions.
