French Montana talks to the Daily News about girlfriend Khloe Kardashian
Don't panic! French Montana and Khloe Kardashian appear to be a serious item.
'That's my Koko,' the rapper told the Daily News. 'She's a real cool down to earth person. I don't think a lot of people get to meet her to find that out.'
The youngest Kardashian sister makes her music video debut in Montana's latest single 'Don't Panic,' which premiered Tuesday night. Earlier that day the single's cover art was released, revealing four masked faces, including the reality star, who was easily identifiable by her striking eyes.
'It's just the whole purge concept,' he explained of the cover art, adding, 'and us doing the video together. It's the first video she ever did and it got a little spike.'
But don't be mistaken; the 'Ain't Worried About Nothin'' rapper isn't with the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star to spike his career.
'I don't look at it like that,' he said of dating a member of reality TV's royal family. 'She's the funniest person ever.'
Admittedly having a good time with his ladylove, Montana also backs the Kardashian clan.
'When you're in the limelight and you're in that kind of position in life you're always going to have haters,' he said of people having the wrong perspective of his woman and her family.
'I feel like once you get to know them, they're really like (some) of the dopest people ever,' he added.
It's a lucky guess that Montana and Kardashian find a relatable trait in their strong family values.
The 29-year-old rapper, whose real name is Karim Kharbouch, is Moroccan - from Casablanca, and moved to the Bronx, New York at a young age without even knowing the English language.
'I was about 12 or 13, I didn't know no English so I just grew with the culture, learned the vibe,' he recalled.
Originally speaking only Arabic and French, he eventually acquired English, making him tri-lingual. But he'll be the first to admit to having lost some of his Arabic and French fluency due to the dominance English plays in his everyday life.
'But my mother keeps me on point,' he said of her making sure he doesn't completely let his native tongue go.
While fans won't be hearing any Arabic or French raps from the hip hop star, by adapting the English language, Montana was able to launch into a successful musical career and is currently under the tutelage of none other than P. Diddy.
'Diddy is the biggest influence in my career,' he said. 'He's a big brother and he's somebody that helps me not make the same mistakes. He prevents me from doing dumb sh--.'
It's not just the life lessons French is banking on from the music mogul, it's the fruitful success he's seen thus far by working alongside him.
'He definitely helped me to make a couple million already,' he added. 'So shout out to Puff.'
As he continues striving to reach the next level in his music, Montana admits he doesn't plan too much.
'When you making plans God is laughing,' he said. 'I'm just trying to do better than last year and keep advancing and coming out with great music and bright ideas.'
Another emcee Montana is confident will bring bright ideas to the hip hop game soon is his longtime friend and fellow Bronx rapper, Remy Ma, who recently completed a six-year prison stint for shooting Makeda Barnes-Joseph, a childhood friend.
'Shout out to Remy she just came home,' he said. 'I knew Remy for over 10 years.'
In a male dominated industry that seems to only make room for one or maybe two Queen lyricists, the 'Gifted' rapper is confident that Remy, a Grammy-nominated emcee, is set to reclaim the throne.
'She's one of the most talented rap female artists I ever met,' he boasted. 'It's her time right now and she's about to take over.'
