French Montana recently sat down with Sway in the Morning and spoke about what happened to Lil Tjay. Along with that, the rapper talked about the climate of New York's streets and the city’s current Mayor—Eric Adams. 

French said, “Nowadays, they’re making the artist the drug dealer and the killer and everything. It’s sad for Hip Hop.” He then talked about New York and said, “In order for us to make a change, we have to embrace people like [Eric Adams] and people in the higher positions that can help see the vision and help these kids because we don’t have no help out here.”

The rapper concluded his thought by saying, “From Pop Smoke to Lil Tjay, look what happened this morning. It’s sad. We don’t got as many artists as it is. Probably like five artists in New York right now.” His statement comes after it was revealed Lil Tjay was still reportedly unconscious after being shot
