I don’t think I’ve ever really cared about French Montana? I learned his name – his stage name – when he dated Khloe Kardashian several years ago and when they broke up, I was sort of happy about it because I didn’t get them at all. Nowadays, French Montana is dating Iggy Azalea and… I don’t know, he’s probably still working in music, maybe. French Montana’s real name is Karim Kharbouch and he’s from Morocco. Racially speaking, no one considers him black, but beyond that… I feel uncomfortable trying to define his race or ethnicity. Some Moroccans don’t consider themselves to be ethnically Arab, but some do (and some are). I bring this up because French Montana is considered by many in the African-American community to be something of a culturally-appropriating douchebag, a culture-vulture of the highest order (much like his ex girlfriend Iggy, come to think of it). He’s the kind of guy who thinks he can call out an African-American woman for having “nappy” hair. Ooooo….
So, here’s what happened. Twitter user Chill Bill tweeted this yesterday:
The fact that French Montana thinks anyone cares about him.. 😫

If you go to her profile (which French Montana did), you can see that she’s a beautiful black woman. Well, French Montana searches his name for any mentions and he saw this tweet. So he tweeted to Chill Bill: “U musty crusty dusty rusty ass hoe With them nappy ass poetic justice braids” and then it got even worse but I won’t publish the whole thing. He finished off the tweet with “be humble” because… sure, why not?
So, that happened. And now French Montana is one of the top trends on Twitter because everyone is like “you have zero business taking sh-t about a black woman’s braids” and “you’re a culturally appropriating a–hole.”
I just made French Montana poppin again.

French Montana is black the same way DjKhaled is black: they aren't.

French Montana thinks calling someone's hair nappy is a drag…he literally only said that because she was black

French Montana is like Drake they are only black when it's convenient. Like when it's a Kardashian in the room.

@FrencHMonTanA A non black man who loves black culture, makes money off the culture and hates black people. And he dates white women who wanna be black
