French Montana Wants To Cake Up Off His Own Name, Low-Key Eyeing Retail Takeover

Bad Boy Records’ French Montana is a business, man. The hip-hop artist is reportedly aiming to cash-in on his name by going for a trademark.

According to reports, Montana wants to own the right to have his name and possibly sell a slew of products from fragrances to lotions.

French filed docs, obtained by TMZ, seeking to trademark his name for commerce in the health and beauty market. French says he wants to put his name on fragrances, non-medicated lotions and shampoos, and non-medicated toiletries. As French might say … smellez-moi! Now, he’s also applied to trademark his name on almost anything you can buy: jewelry, tote bags, backpacks, beach towels, watches, kitchen linens, sunglasses, pillow covers, headphones, and all kinds of clothing … including underwear.

In late January, Montana hyped up fans with a pic of jailed longtime friend Max B and hinted at a 2018 release.

Last summer, French Montana hyped up anticipation for his Max B and The Weeknd collabo “A Lie.”

“It’s me, The Weeknd and Max B. Yeah, it’s my second joint. It’s called “Allah.” It’s about the wave, the wave culture. Yeah, so we got me, Max B and The Weeknd and Harry Fraud on the beat. I have this thing with Max B, it’s like my favorite song he ever did that we never put out then I played it for [Weeknd] and I knew he was going to say you cannot drop this without my vocals and he did it. I did my vocals and it’s a smash. We shooting the video tomorrow and it’s dropping really, really soon. Harry Fraud on the beat. It’s like the dream combo for every wave fan. Everybody who follows the wave, it’s like a dream combo. Me, Max B and Harry Fraud and The Weeknd. You ever heard Phil Jackson and the triangle offense? Fantastic Five.” (MTV News)
