French Montana reportedly exited a podcast interview mid-session after the host brought up his longtime friends and collaborators, Drake and Rick Ross.
The 40-year-old Moroccan-American rapper appeared on the Sited with Rah Ali podcast to discuss his music career. However, things took a sudden turn when host Rah Ali mentioned Drake and Ross — whose public feud reignited in 2024 with diss tracks and social media exchanges.
The Unexpected Exit
In the interview, available on YouTube, French is seen calmly removing his headset and handing it to the host. He then told Rah:
“I’ll be right back. I think I double parked my car outside.”
Despite promising to return, French never came back to finish the interview, according to the host.
Tension Behind the Scenes
A source told Page Six that French was in good spirits early in the interview. The conversation included light-hearted topics such as:
His artistic growth
His performance at the World Cup
However, tension reportedly began to build when Rah asked French about his love life — a subject the rapper declined to discuss, saying he preferred to keep it private. The source claimed:
“French began getting irritated at the personal questions, but the mention of Drake and Rick Ross was the final straw.”
Onside! Media cameras reportedly continued filming even after French left the set. According to the insider, French asked them to stop recording as he made his exit.
Fans React Online
The incident sparked a wave of reactions on YouTube and social media. Here are a few highlighted comments:
Supportive of French’s boundary:
“When I say no questions about Drake, I mean NO QUESTIONS ABOUT DRAKE!”
Criticism of his behavior:
“Dude got paid then walked out because he doesn’t want to answer questions… Pride man.”
Mixed reactions:
“I love how you kept it cool and gave him his flowers. But he could’ve handled that better.”
Defensive of French’s privacy:
“Y’all don’t respect people!!! His team probably told y’all what to avoid.”
Ongoing Drama with Drake and Rick Ross
While French has previously collaborated with both Drake and Rick Ross — most notably on their 2012 track “Pop That” — he has not spoken publicly about their recent feud. His silence may suggest a desire to stay neutral or avoid reigniting tensions.
