French Montana (born November 9, 1984) is an American rapper and singer of Moroccan and Somali descent. He is the founder of Cocaine City Records.
French Montana was born as Karim Kharbouch in 1984 in Rabat, Morocco. He emigrated with his mother and younger brother in 1996, when he was 13, to the Bronx in New York City.
His stage name is a conflation of French (from the French protectorate of Morocco) and Montana (from the fictitious Tony Montana in the 1983 movie Scarface).
