French Montana is under fire for inviting controversial internet personality Andrew Tate to join him on stage during a performance at the Beach, Please Festival in Romania. Tate, who is currently awaiting trial on human trafficking charges in Europe, made a surprise appearance during French’s set, much to the dismay of fans and critics alike.
Amidst cheers from the crowd, French introduced Tate and shared news of their collaboration on an upcoming podcast, expressing support for the influencer despite his legal troubles. Tate, in turn, encouraged the audience to chant “Escape the matrix,” aiming to set a new world record during the event.
French took to Instagram to share the moment, hailing it as a groundbreaking collaboration and praising Romania’s reception of Tate. However, the unexpected partnership drew sharp criticism online, with fans labeling the move as embarrassing, low, and disappointing.
Despite the festival’s statement emphasizing artistic expression and spontaneity, many condemned the decision to showcase Tate on stage, citing his controversial statements and past behavior. Tate’s history of provocative remarks, including accusations against artists like Ice Spice and Meek Mill, has stirred further controversy and condemnation.
As the fallout from the festival performance continues to unfold, French Montana finds himself at the center of a heated debate over the boundaries of artistic collaboration and the ethical considerations of associating with individuals facing serious legal allegations.
