Julius Caesar, A Pair of Tigers, and More: French Montana's Animal Experience

An great duo appeared on today’s Pardon My Take. Earlier, we highlighted Astros third baseman Alex Bregman and his semi-guarantee that Houston would win the World Series. Now, we shift our focus to rapper French Montana. During the interview, Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter got into detail about the rapper’s deep passion for animals. It was entertaining to say the least:

Mr. Cat: We are big animal guys. You have a lot of pets, you have a lot of exotic animals. I mean, what do you have right now?

French Montana: My favorite animal that I have right now, but I would hate to separate them because they’re all my babies…

Mr. Cat: They probably all listen to the show, but that’s okay. This snow leopard is probably like, what the fuck?

French Montana: Probably my Tibetan Mastiff.

Mr. Commenter: Does your dog break news, too?

French Montana: Yeah, sometimes.

Mr. Commenter: They tend to do that, it’s a breed thing, I think.

Mr. Cat: So, what do you have right now, dogs, a monkey?

French Montana: I have a monkey. His name is Julius Caesar. I have a German Shepherd. I had them since I was young. Tibetan Mastiff, that’s about it.

Mr. Commenter: Do you find that with the monkey, it needs to have like a lot of mental stimulation, or else it gets bored?

French Montana: When I’m on the road and I’m working like this, I always keep him with his father in Vegas. So, he sat out.

Mr. Cat: Yeah. Traveling with a monkey I feel like would be pretty tough. That’s how Justin Bieber got got.

Mr. Commenter: So, when Julius Caesar sees his dad, does he like, run up and give him a big hug?

French Montana: One thing I love about them is that they know real love. Even if I don’t see him for three months, he just remembers. He just goes crazy, starts yelling. They never forget the love.

Mr. Commenter: I know you don’t have the tigers anymore, but the caption you put on that picture of you with the tigers is amazing. Got so high last night, bought two baby tigers.

French Montana: Man, I feel like we were in Miami, and it was just celebrating my album. The next day they really brought two cubs and test me. I looked at them and we just started busting out laughing, me and Chinx, rest in peace.  It was a real special moment.

The first thing that comes to my mind here is, of course, The Hangover, when Mike Tyson’s tiger ended up in the same room at Caesar’s Palace as “the three best friends that anyone could have.” Except, this was real life, and there were two tigers involved. Luckily for French Montana, they weren’t nearly as big as a full-grown tiger, so he seemed to have escaped the situation unscathed.
