French Montana discussed his rise to fame, the fallout over his hit "Pop That," and the trials of maintaining a recording career. After substantial success with "Stay Scheming," Montana released "Pop That," featuring Drake, Lil Wayne, and Rick Ross. The song rapidly went platinum, marking a significant leap in Montana's career. However, controversy emerged over a sample in "Pop That" from rapper Luke, who claimed he was not paid for the use of his work. Montana and Vlad clarified that the sample had been legally obtained after Luke sold his catalog due to bankruptcy, indicating miscommunication rather than misuse. Montana also commented on the fleeting nature of fame in the rap industry, remarking on the turnover of prominent artists and his experience of being criticized for his frequent use of features. The clip concluded with reflections on Montana's strained relationship with his father and his star-studded debut album, "Excuse My French."
