French Montana is facing an avalanche of criticism for making several derogatory statements about a black woman on Twitter.

On Wednesday (April 5), the Morocco-born rapper noticed that a young woman wrote this about him: “The fact that French Montana thinks anyone cares about him..” She ended it with a tired face emoji.

Montana responded with a series of insults. “U musty crusty dusty rusty ass hoe,” he wrote. “With them nappy ass poetic justice braids take your cum drinking Dick banging ass somewhere n be humble.”

Soon, critics blasted Montana for using racist and sexist statements. Baffled, he asked “How people get mad at u for draging somebody that tried to drag u?” Then he added a tired face emoji of his own.

That didn’t stop the backlash. After being called “anti black,” Montana tried to explain his background. “My son is black, and I was born in africa I lived there for 13 years,” he wrote. “I ain’t no punching bag, and I don’t discriminate !don’t come for me.”

Eventually, after laughing about it with a couple of emojis and a “Lol,” French apologized. “My mother is african queen and I was married to a beautiful black queen,” he wrote. “All I did was defend myself if I affended anybody I apologize. But this is a perfect example of even when u defending yourself and minding your Business social media would drag your name thru the mud !! But on another note #STAYWOKE.”
