AceShowbiz - French Montana once again made a wild statement during an interview. After making headlines for his remarks about outshining Kendrick Lamar, French appeared to throw major shade at Swae Lee.
Speaking with Billboard, the "That's a Fact" rapper alluded that he produced the Rae Sremmurd artist's song "Powerglide" but never got credited for it. Additionally, he called out Swae for putting out the sequel of his hit record "Unforgettable" without including him.
"If I didn't structure the song, what happened when they put out 'Unforgettable' part 2, 'Guatemala'? How come that didn't sell nine million?" asked French. "That's how they try and do me. I do 'Unforgettable', they take me out and he replaces me with somebody else to come out with a part 2. I never took it no way."
Just recently, French revealed in a phone call interview with Big Boy TV that he used to have an awkward moment when he and Kodak Black filmed music video for his hit "Lockjaw". "Me and him didn't have one conversation when we shot the video," French explained. "I just looked at him and he growled at me," he went on saying while laughing.
That is not the only wild remark that French made during recent interview. He previously sparked controversy after he said that he would outshine Kendrick Lamar. "I could go against anybody. You could put somebody like Kendrick Lamar next to me on the same stage at a festival, I might outshine him. Not because I'm a better rapper, or whatever it is. It's just that I got more hits," he told Complex in an interview earlier this month.
He went on explaining, "Kendrick Lamar got albums. He got masterpieces. But if you want to put us on the festival stage, I would outshine him because I have more hits than Kendrick Lamar."
The Bronx rapper received backlash from Kendrick fans, prompting the "Welcome to the Party" spitter to clarify on his Twitter account. "IF WE JUST TALKING ABOUT ANTHEMS, !! ME VS KENDRICK HIT FOR HIT ! I BELIEVE I CAN GO NECK TO NECK !!" French insisted. "I BEEN MAKING HITS FOR A LONG TIME ! IT AINT MY FAULT I BELIEVE IN MYSELF. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION ? HOW MANY TIMES I GOTTA PROVE MYSELF BEFORE I GET MINE."
Assuring that there's no bad blood between him and Kendrick, French added, "I love kendrick! that's not just for kendrick that's to anybody they put in front of me, and ask me that same question that u want me to say lol ? It should be your attitude too. If u think any less of yourself don't blame it on the next person who don't ! set it up."
