French Montana cozied up with a member of Donald Trump’s family ahead of the 2024 presidential election. The Coke Boys rapper connected with the former president’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump at a studio session.
“Two pictures liberal media does not want to see right now: @LaraLeaTrump @FrencHMonTanA,” First Class Label Group’s LJ Fino wrote alongside photos of French posing with Lara.
French Montana recently crossed paths with Lara in a Twitter (X) Spaces discussion about music and politics. The chat opened the door for a collaboration between the two.
“Nothing would be cooler to me than to collaborate with French Montana,” Lara Trump said on Spaces. “Are you kidding? That would be epic. So, I’m available. I’m just throwing it out.”
French responded, “Likewise.”

The diamond-selling artist hasn’t endorsed Trump’s father-in-law for president, but many other rappers have. Kodak Black, Sada Baby, Benny The Butcher, Lil Pump, Azealia Banks, Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow were just a few of the rap artists who jumped on the Trump bandwagon.
French Montana landed in the Trump family’s orbit less than two weeks after aligning with controversial influencer Andrew Tate. French Montana faced backlash for bringing Tate on stage during a festival gig in Romania.
“Make some f###### noise for my brother Andrew Tate,” French told the crowd. “We did a podcast. I’m the first rapper to do a podcast with my brother, one time. But Romania loves you, my brother!”
Tate, who developed an online following for his misogynistic views, was arrested for human trafficking and rape in 2022. Romanian authorities accused Tate and his brother of forcing seven victims into pornography, among other crimes.
The internet personality denied any wrongdoing and sued his accusers for defamation. Tate awaits trial after losing an appeal to lift restrictions on him traveling outside the eastern European country.
