Young Thug and French Montana engaged in a social media squabble on Wednesday (April 22), after Montana claimed that he has more hits than Kendrick Lamar. The Moroccan rapper made the comments during an interview with Complex, which triggered a tidal wave of reactions from the internet, and a subsequent explanation about why he compared himself to Kung Fu Kenny.
“If we just talking about anthems!! Me vs. Kendrick hit for hit! I believe I can go neck to neck!!! Been making hits for a long time!! It ain’t my fault I believe in myself,” he tweeted on Tuesday (April 21).
In a followup tweet, Montana noted that he has love for Lamar and that his comments weren’t directed solely at the Compton MC. “That’s not just for Kendrick that’s to anybody they put in front of me, and ask me that same question. What [you] want me to say lol? It should be your attitude too.”
IF WE JUST TALKING ABOUT ANTHEMS, !! ME VS KENDRICK HIT FOR HIT ! I BELIEVE I CAN GO NECK TO NECK !! I BEEN MAKING HITS FOR A LONG TIME ! IT AINT MY FAULT I BELIEVE IN MYSELF.

Meanwhile, Thugger jumped in with a message for the 35-year-old recording artist. “Listen bro get out of your feelings. I’m only speaking from an artist standpoint, you do not have more hits than Kendrick Lamar. You probably won’t ever have more hits than buddy so get that out of your head.”

In response, Montana took a few jabs at Thug for wearing women’s clothing in the “No Stylist” music video, and posted an alleged photo of him wearing lipstick. He also attempted to prove his point about Lamar by posting his hit list.
