While discussing possible Instagram Live opponents following his win over Tory Lanez, French Montana told Complex,
“I mean, honestly, I could go against anybody. You could put somebody like Kendrick Lamar next to me on the same stage at a festival,” French said during the interview. “I might outshine him… not because I’m a better rapper or whatever it is. It’s just that I got more hits. Kendrick Lamar got albums. He got masterpieces. But if you was to put us on the festival stage, I would outshine him because I have more hits than Kendrick Lamar.”
I love kendrick! that’s not just for kendrick that’s to anybody they put in front of me, and ask me that same question 💨 what u want me to say lol ? It should be your attitude too.
If u think any less of yourself don’t blame it on the next person who don’t ! 😤 set it up— French Montana (@FrencHMonTanA) April 22, 2020

HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER
THAT QUESTION ? HOW MANY TIMES I GOTTA PROVE MYSELF BEFORE I GET MINE 🌊— French Montana (@FrencHMonTanA) April 22, 2020
In his tweets, French reaffirmed his belief that he could go “neck to neck” with Kendrick in an IG Live battle. “It ain’t my fault I believe in myself,” he wrote. He added that he would say the same about any other artist. “Set it up,” he closed out the tweets, seemingly referring to a potential Verzuz battle between the two artists on IG Live.
