French Montana, born Karim Kharbouch in 1984 in Rabat, immigrated to the Bronx, New York, as a teenager — a move that would shape both his identity and his music career. Growing up in one of hip-hop’s most influential boroughs, he immersed himself in the culture and began building a name in the mid-2000s.

His early momentum came through the Cocaine City DVD series, which blended street interviews, underground music, and raw mixtape energy. The series helped him cultivate a grassroots following long before mainstream recognition arrived.

In 2012, he signed with Bad Boy Records, marking a major turning point. His debut studio album, Excuse My French, featured high-profile collaborations and solidified his presence in the commercial hip-hop scene of the early 2010s.

His biggest breakthrough came in 2017 with “Unforgettable” featuring Swae Lee. The track peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, achieved multi-platinum status, and became a global anthem thanks to its international sound and widespread radio play.

As of the most recent verified public information, French Montana has not officially announced an engagement.

Over the years, he has been linked to several high-profile relationships, including reality TV star Khloé Kardashian, but none resulted in a confirmed marriage or public engagement.

French Montana has generally kept his personal life more private in recent years, focusing interviews and public appearances primarily on his music, business ventures, and philanthropic work. While speculation often circulates on social media about his dating life, he has not made any formal statements confirming an engagement.
