Ellise Shafer Aubrey “Drake” Graham and Sean “Diddy” Combs have signed on as executive producers of Grammy-nominated rapper French Montana’s documentary “For Khadija,” which is set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 16.
Directed by Mandon Lovett, “For Khadija” follows “the unlikely rise of Moroccan-born, multi-platinum recording artist French Montana, as his single mother she sacrifices everything to raise her three young sons in the Bronx, after being abandoned by their father and left destitute,” according to the doc’s official description. “The film spans the globe as it depicts the family’s unique immigrant journey, a son’s perseverance in the face of insurmountable obstacles, and a mother’s unwavering faith — all in pursuit of the American dream.” The film’s premiere at Tribeca will include a panel discussion with to-be-announced “hip-hop heavyweights, social justice advocates and pop culture icons,” according to a press release.
Montana and Ugandan group Triplets Ghetto Kids will also perform following the screening. Montana recently became the most-streamed African-born artist in history and released “Coke Boys 6: Money Heist Edition,” the sixth mixtape in his “Coke Boys” series.
Montana and Diddy have a long history, with the two first collaborating on a remix of Montana’s 2011 song “Shot Caller,” which references Diddy’s 1997 smash “It’s All About the Benjamins.” Shortly after, Montana signed to Diddy’s Bad Boy Records.
