French Montana Is Stupid

Well, this is shitty. Last night, Bronx rap star French Montana played Beach Please!, a big festival in Romania. During his set, French brought Andrew Tate to the stage. Tate, the former MMA fighter and Big Brother contestant who became a big-time right-wing, misogynist influencer, is currently awaiting trial on human trafficking charges in Romania. He is not a good guy.

After pulling Tate onstage, French Montana said, "Make some fuckin' noise for my brother Andrew Tate! We did a podcast. I'm the first rapper to do a podcast with my brother, one time. But Romania loves you, my brother!" Tate then got the crowd to say, "Escape the matrix," which I guess is his catchphrase. Some of the crowd reportedly booed, but it sounds a whole lot more like a pretty standard happy reaction to me. If French's clout-chasing was successful, that doesn't make it any less repuslive. Watch it below.
