French Montana: Morocco to the Bronx — Coke Wave 3.5, New Era & Ever Since U Left Me | BET Talks

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 08:42:45 +0000

In this episode of BET Talks, host Miabelle sits down with French Montana for a powerful and unfiltered conversation that goes far beyond the music. From his early days growing up in Morocco to navigating life in the Bronx’s Mott Haven Houses, French opens up about the culture shock, the grind, and the experiences that shaped him into the global icon he is today.

French reflects on the friendships that kept him grounded, the wins that elevated him, and the losses that taught him resilience. As a Diamond-certified artist, philanthropist, and father, he shares how his journey continues to influence his mindset, his purpose, and this new era of music — including his latest project Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos.

This conversation is filled with real stories, life gems, and a deeper look into the man behind the music — one rooted in growth, legacy, and giving back.
