French Montana Responds To Lil Tjay Shooting: ‘It’s Hard Out Here For Rappers, Man. We Have The Hardest Job’

French Montana says rappers have “the hardest job” following the shooting of New York rapper Lil Tjay.

TMZ caught up with French Montana, who shared his thoughts and concerns over the recent attacks on rappers.

“I know he’s been rushed in from one hospital to another, so I pray for his family,” said French. “I haven’t spoken to him. I heard he’s in critical condition. It’s a bad situation.”

Lil Tjay, 21, was shot several times during an attempted armed robbery that took place at a shopping plaza in Edgewater, New Jersey. The rapper is still in the hospital, undergoing recovery. Mohamed Konate, 27, was arrested by police in connection to the shooting. He’s been charged with three counts of first-degree attempted murder.

French went on, saying that rappers have the hardest job.

“It’s hard out here for rappers, man,” he said. “We got the hardest job. You don’t know where it comes from, man. We think that everybody love us but everybody don’t love us.”
