French Montana recently sat down with DJ Akademiks for an episode of "Off the Record," where he spoke about record labels taking out life insurance policies on rappers. This comes amid a wave of violence in the hip-hop world that has resulted in dozens of rappers dying over the past five years alone.
French explained how things have changed in recent years, stating, "We was beefing for real. People was dying and this and that, and it was blocking a lot of money. People didn’t want to touch you. Your rap friends stop picking up, the labels stop picking up. It gets crazy. But now it’s even crazier, they gettin’ life insurance on artists. At least back then, we didn’t have that."
French added that labels are "praying on making millions on his death," and he went on to state, "They’re being realistic. You’re supposed to have life insurance anyway, but when the label does it, if you don’t have one that’s crazy."
