VIDEO : French Montana Signs with Bad Boy and Epic Records

Bad Boy Entertainment and Epic Records told The Associated Press on Thursday that Rapper French Montana has signed with the music companies. This means the rapper has left Interscope Records, but will remain under Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs' Bad Boy imprint. Last year, both companies signed a deal to partner with each other so Epic could provide Bad Boy music artists with promotion, marketing, sales and distribution. Montana said, "As far as Puff and LA Reid, I feel like they are the last of a dying breed of people who still care about music. I respect everything they do."
