French Montana Explains Why He Signed With Bad Boy

It was rumored that French Montana received offers from everyone ranging from Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music label to Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group label, but at the end, French Montana decided to become a Bad Boy. In a interview with Billboard's Juice column, French explains why he signed with Diddy’s Bad Boy label & why he also decided to bring Rick Ross on board as an Executive Producer for the album:

“It’s different with me because it wasn’t just one label that offered me [a] deal. I had offers from everybody so when I made the choice, I made the choice I was [most] comfortable with. I don’t judge a person from what people say about them. I judge a person by my own relationship with them.
The deal [with Diddy] just felt right and it felt like it was the right thing to do,” he said. “I felt like I can make a change with this for the music culture that I came from.
I love MMG. If I wasn’t going with Bad Boy, I definitely would have gone with MMG. That’s why I had to make Ross executive producer on my album. Me and him got the same vibe. He’s definitely been involved with everything I’ve been doing, giving me some good advice, and helping me out. You always need a mentor.”
