French Montana accuses Akon of presenting a fake wristwatch for his birthday (Video)

French Montana has accused his friend and fellow industry colleague, Akon, of gifting him a fake wristwatch on his birthday some years back.

The Moroccan-American rapper made the accusation during an interview with DJ Funk Flex, while speaking about signing with Akon's label for six months 10 years ago.

The watch story started after Flex brought it up saying “We can’t tell the watch story, don’t tell it now,” which forced French to weigh into it.

“Oh, Stop!” French said, as he laughed so hard. “Shouts to Akon, he gave me a fake watch for my birthday, I’m heated,” he said, laughing again. He continued: “I’m still waiting for my other watch Akon,” French said.

 “Akon I need you to fix this up,” Flex added. “Keep it a buck. Listen, we gonna go on the ‘gram, we gon’ tell fake watch busters to leave you alone, they not gonna post this up. But, we gotta clear this up.” 

As French laughed, he continued with the story, “It was my birthday too,” he said. “He was like, ‘Close your eyes, I got a present for you,’” French recalled. “Then he put a fake watch on my wrist, I’m heated.” 

When Flex asked if French knew the watch was fake at the time,  the rapper said:  “Nah, I didn’t know it was fake,” he said.

French Montana Says Akon Gave Him a Fake Watch For His Birthday - blogged by @MsJennyb (video @hot97) ??????? ??????? In a recent interview with #FunkFlex, #FrenchMontana sat down to discuss his recent success after the release of “Unforgettable.” The two discussed the rapper’s experience working with #Diddy, who was recently named one of Forbes Greatest Living Business Minds. However, prior to French’s work with Diddy, the rapper was signed to #Akon, for what French called a “six-month thing.” ??????? ??????? As the two discussed that business relationship, Flex brought up a “watch story,” saying “We can’t tell the watch story, don’t tell it now,” which forced French to divulge. ??????? ??????? “Oh, Stop!” French said, as he laughed. “Shouts to Akon, he gave me a fake watch for my birthday, I’m heated,” he said, laughing again.  The two attempted to clear the air by confirming their love for the singer-songwriter, but said the situation had to be resolved. “I’m still waiting for my other watch Akon,” French said. ??????? ??????? “Akon I need you to fix this up,” Flex added. “Keep it a buck. Listen, we gonna go on the ‘gram, we gon’ tell fake watch busters to leave you alone, they not gonna post this up. But, we gotta clear this up.” ??????? ??????? As French laughed, he continued with the story, “It was my birthday too,” he said. “He was like, ‘Close your eyes, I got a present for you,’” French recalled. “Then he put a fake watch on my wrist, I’m heated.” Flex fished for more, asking if French knew the watch was fake at the time, but the rapper had no idea. ??????? ??????? “Nah, I didn’t know it was fake,” he said, as he explained that he took the watch to the jewelers to be cleaned. He said he told the jeweler that Akon got it for him as a gift for his birthday. But, the jeweler said, “Akon didn’t give you this, I know him.” French laughed, saying Akon may have not known it was fake, though. However, it’s been 10 years and French still hasn’t received a new watch from Akon. ??????? ??????? “That’s by brother but you know,” French said.
