French Montana fired off an NSFW tweet heard around the country Wednesday, and people still can't stop talking about it.
As of Thursday morning, the singer's name was the top trend across the United States on Twitter, with over 61,000 tweets weighing in on a single tweet aimed at a "musty crusty dusty rusty ass hoe" who badmouthed him on the social media platform.
"The fact that French Montana thinks anyone cares about him," a woman tweeted Wednesday evening.

Cries of racism erupted over the "nappy ass poetic justice braids" line, and people have been busy debating the hip-hop artist's blackness. Montana, real name Karim Kharbouch, spent his childhood in Morocco before moving to the United States with his family at the age of 13. Hits songs he's been involved with include "Shot Caller," "Stay Schemin'" and "Pop That."
@CMBogan @FrencHMonTanA YEP, that girl is cute asf! WHAT makes her crusty, rusty? Her skin? So a BLACK woman wearing braids is OK but IGGY and KHLOE can wear them??
@SipTeaBlog
@SipTeaBlog @FrencHMonTanA He wanted to put "black" in place of "musty" in that tweet so bad. I know he did.

Montana has since defended attacks on his character and African roots.
"My son is black, and I was born in africa I lived there for 13 years. I ain't no punching bag, and I don't discriminate," he tweeted Thursday morning. "My mother is african queen and I was married to a beautiful black queen. All I did was defend myself if I affended anybody I apologize (sic)."

Others just mocked the entire situation for a number of reasons.
The real tragedy here is that French Montana searches his own name on twitter 😂 bruh got his feelings hurt and didn't know how to drag her
@_dvmndes
French Montana said far more violating words than Nappy Head but y'all ignored all that just so you can be fake offended 💀😂😂😂😂
@_KarateChris
French Montana made a foolish mistake. Never insult a woman without a beat bumping in the background.
@andrewschulz
Had no idea anyone even cared about French Montana enough to be this angry at French Montana.
@DShaw365

A dude named French Montana said nappy and now he's trending #1 on Twitter because "racist".
@SteamingPierogi
I hate 2017.
The true tragedy here is the fact that French Montana searches his own name. You humble your own self, useless donkey.
@gawdduss
But perhaps the best response was from the cousin of the woman Montana spewed online vitriol at.
I really hope my cousin gets a check from French Montana Bc he is trending because of her 😭
