Drake Sends French Montana a Cease-and-Desist Letter As Rick Ross Claimed
On Thursday (April 18), Joe Budden called up Gamma CEO Larry Jackson on The Joe Budden podcast to clear up some of the allegations made by Rick Ross on his “Champagne Moments” diss track aimed at Drake. Jackson didn’t want to pick sides in the ongoing feud between Drake and Rozay, but he did confirm that Rick Ross’s bar about Drizzy sending French Montana a cease-and-desist letter did actually happen.
“The cease-and-desist letter was a real thing I thought that was really funny…but other then that I got nothing,” Jackson told Budden, adding, “we all have different senses of humor. I thought it was funny, I didn’t think anybody was really trying to be nefarious. I just thought it was a joke.”
Budden added that clearly Ross felt a different way about it.
“Listen man, I love everybody involved man,” Jackson said.
On the song “Champagne Moments,” which officially hit streaming services on Monday (April 15), Rozay raps, “I unfollowed you, n***a, ’cause you sent the muthaf**kin’ cease-and-desist to French Montana, n***a/You sent the police, n***a, hatin’ on my dog project.”
It’s been speculated by fans that the song “Splash Brothers” caused the cease-and-desist latter. French’s track was set to feature Drake alongside Ross, and was supposed to arrive on French’s They Got Amnesia project back in 2021. TMZ then reported that the song was scrapped because Drake was upset by the recent Astroworld tragedy, but this was never confirmed.
