Immigratio­n means everything to me, says French Montana

-

Hip-hop artist French Montana wants people across the world to embrace immigratio­n and give due importance to health care.

Montana left Morocco with his parents and younger brother for New York City when he was 13. This summer, he became a US citizen.

The singer, who’s on GQ magazine’s Middle East cover, wears his immigrant status on his sleeve and is vocal about immigratio­n and health care, reports tmz.com.

“Immigratio­n means everything to me. It means hope, it means faith, it means a voice for the people that come from different places and build a country,” he says.

On his stance on health care, he adds that it should be a right and not a privilege. Montana also helped raise $500,000 to build a hospital in Uganda, East Africa.
