In order to show his support for rapper J Hus who had been arrested, French Montana decided to stop his Wireless Festival set.
The
Unforgettable rapper stopped his set to shout out the London rapper
who was forced to pull out of the line up after being charged for
carrying a knife in East London. As a result of the arrest, J Hus was
dropped from the Wireless Festival and was replaced by Krept and
Konan, the rap duo from London.
Montana,
who performed on Saturday, covered J Hus’ track, Did You See in his
absence. He told the crowd that he had to represent J Hus since he
wasn’t going to be there.
Montana
also wore an England football shirt in honor of the team’s World
Cup quarter final match against Sweden. He asked the crowd if they
noticed what he was wearing on the stage.
On
21st
June, J Hus’ had been taken into custody after a weapon was found
in his car by the police. He had been pulled over in east London on
Stratford.
The
Guardian, the British Publication reported that the charges against
the rapper, real name Momodou Jallow, included possession of a knife
or a bladed article. However, earlier this week he had been released
after he posted a bond worth $132,000 (£100,000).
The
terms of the bail dictate that he cannot enter certain areas in
London, which include Tower Hamlets, Dagenham, Barking and Hackney.
On 20th
July, a pre-trial hearing has been scheduled.
On
Wednesday, the Bad Boy Hitmaker thanked his family and fans for their
constant support via Twitter and also apologized to them for the
inconvenience.
Responding
to this news, fellow rapper Lethal Bizzle took J Hus’ side, saying
that the rapper has been to hell and back, and that he may have felt
that he needed to defend himself. He hopes that the judge takes all
into account.
