French Montana Talks ‘Jungle Rules,’ Max B, & More with Paper Magazine

It’s been a big year for French Montana as his single, “Unforgettable” made it in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. With his sophomore effort Jungle Rules out now, the Bronx rapper recently took a trip to Morrocco where he did a photo shoot that would soon grace the cover of Paper Magazine’s August 2017 issue.
Taking place a week after Jungle Rules’ release, French Montana talked about how Max B going to jail affected his music career, his views on going platinum with no features, whether or not dating a high profile celebrity elevated his career, and much more.
On Max B’s incarceration affecting his early music career:
It was like a little black cloud I had to get out of. I really felt it because, if you’re hot in the streets you’re not hot on the airwaves. I had to just keep making better music, better and better. Media, you can buy it. You can’t buy real love. The more you sharpen your knife the better you’re going to cut that tree. One war you can never lose is the music
On going platinum with no features:
Who sits there thinking about weird shit like [going platinum with no features]?” he says, incredulous. “Those people who put albums out by themselves are weirdos. Music is about having fun. If I’m chilling with A$AP Rocky, or chilling with Drake or The Weeknd and we record, and then I have to say, ‘Look here, bro, I’m thinking about dropping this album just by myself.’ Artists would stop fucking with you.”

Reality Star Erica Mena Fired from ‘LLHATL’ After Racial Slurs Aimed at Dancehall Artist Spice in Heated Clash

In a recent episode of the popular VH1 (now on MTV) reality series, “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” a highly contentious altercation unfolded between reality TV personality Erica Mena and Dancehall sensation Spice. Known for its drama and confrontations, the show took a particularly disturbing turn as this heated exchange featured the use of a racial slur, resulting in significant backlash against Mena.
The confrontation reached a boiling point when Spice made a claim that Mena’s eldest son harbored negative feelings toward his own mother. In a fit of anger, Mena lashed out by physically flipping a table on the “So Mi Like It” artist. Her response was equally disturbing, as she not only wished death upon Spice but also used a racially derogatory term.
Mena’s explosive remark included a horrifying statement regarding Spice’s health scare from the previous year: “That bi**h should’ve died!,” Mena exclaimed. In retort, Spice countered, “Your son hates you, bi**h!” Mena, in a further display of hostility, uttered a racial slur directed at Spice. “You monkey, you f**king blue monkey!”

In the aftermath of this distressing incident, the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta franchise took to its social media platforms to issue a statement regarding Erica Mena’s future on the show. The statement read, “The Love & Hip Hop franchise has never shied away from hard conversations in our community. Working hand-in-hand with our partners, viewers will see the impact of Erica Mena’s remarks play out in the final three episodes of the season. Effective immediately, she will not appear in the next season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.”
Spice, on the other hand, responded to the situation by sharing her perspective on social media. In a since-deleted Instagram post, she raised questions about Erica’s actions. Spice queried, ““Kids are off limits right??????? But I guess it’s only when I ask cause where’s the same energy when Scrappy and Stevie J talked about it.” She concluded her post with a pointed reference to Mena’s derogatory remarks, saying, “But now I’m a Monkey and should have died on the table? Ok, Erica.”
