The moment, which has gone viral, occurred when Ali brought up the tension between the rappers. Montana, who previously collaborated with both artists on the 2012 track “Stay Schemin,” responded, “I’ll be right back. I double-parked my car outside,” before walking out of the room. Cameras continued to roll as he and his entourage left the set.

His unexpected exit sparked immediate reactions online. Some fans criticized Montana’s behavior as overly dramatic, while others defended his right to avoid certain topics—especially if he had established boundaries before the interview. One user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, “He being dramatic, he know ain’t sh*t else to talk to him about...,” while another said, “Kinda childish, but I get it… those should be respected.”

Montana had also deflected other personal questions during the conversation. When asked about his love life earlier in the interview, he replied, “I’ll skip that. I just want to keep my private life my private life,” as reported by Page Six.

Though Montana, Drake, and Ross collaborated more than a decade ago, tensions between Drake and Ross reignited in 2024 following a wave of diss tracks, most notably from Kendrick Lamar. Ross took aim at Drake in “Champagne Moments” and recently announced a new collaboration with Pharrell, another artist who has clashed with Drake.

In a May interview with Bootleg Kev, Ross indicated that reconciliation might still be possible. “Send me a white Belaire and I’ll take a picture with you,” he joked.

For now, French Montana seems intent on staying out of the crossfire.
