French Montana Reveals He Has A Collaboration with Jay-Z in The Works

French Montana is known for his close connections with the most powerful players in the music industry and has worked with almost all the biggies. One person that he’s yet to collaborate with officially is Jay-Z.

But that will probably change soon. The New York rapper is a guest on the latest episode of veteran UK DJ Semtex’s Hip Hop Raised Me podcast where he revealed for the first time that he has a song with Hov in the works. The topic came up when Semtex asked how he’s been able to have a good relationship with the top artists in the game. He then expanded on how Jay was the only person he hasn’t worked with.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

Semtex then grilled the Coke Boys boss on how it came together. “I was playing this song for somebody in the studio, and the artist just grabbed me and just started wrinkling my shirt like “Yo! What is this?” And Jay-Z happened to see that and Jay-Z was like “Yo that record is crazy!” You know what I’m saying? He was like “Yo let me get motivated to write a 16 on this real quick…” and I was like ‘Alright’,” he said.
