Paul Pierce on French Montana Reportedly Dating Dubai Princess: ‘They Value Their Men'

Paul Pierce found himself at odds with his podcast co-host after weighing in on French Montana’s alleged relationship with the Princess of Dubai.

On a recent episode of the Truth After Dark podcast, Pierce shared his thoughts on the rapper’s alleged relationship with Dubai royalty, Sheikha Mahra, also known as Xtianna.

The conversation began near the 22-minute mark in the video linked here when co-host Azar Farideh talked about the relationship, saying, “He's dating the Princess of Dubai. She's cracking. He's publicly out with her. They're like [an] official couple online, everything. So, he said, ‘Yeah, I'm out of here. I'm out the country.’”

“Man, I’m telling you. Us Black men, I’m telling y’all: we need to follow in French Montana’s steps. You see, he cracking,” said the 47-year-old former NBA star. “The States women, they don't have the same values as these women overseas. They value their men. They priority is they man first. They not shaking ass on Instagram.”

Farideh pushed back on Pierce’s comments by warning him not to generalize American women.

“Not every woman is doing that, Paul,” Farideh countered. “I'm not doing that.”

“There's more women in America doing that than out the country,” Pierce continued.

The discussion became heated as Farideh implied Pierce was glorifying women from abroad without acknowledging the full picture, saying, “You give them $30 and they're sucking you and all your homeboy's dicks in one night. So stop trying to glorify that, I'm sick of it.”

Pierce didn’t back down, replying, “I mean, only difference between there and here is the prices up over here.”

“Well, don't try to say, 'Their values are so different. They're not shaking ass.' No, they are. They're doing it. And they're getting shitted on, shaking ass, and all type of stuff,” Farideh added. “Yeah. So, don't try it.”

French Montana, 40, and 31-year-old Dubai Princess Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum were recently photographed together following a Paris Fashion Week event earlier this month.

They were first spotted together when Mahra gave Montana a tour of Dubai, which included dining at popular restaurants, riding camels, and hanging out with friends. This took place months after announcing her divorce, during which she appeared to suggest her ex-husband had been unfaithful.

Mahra is the daughter of UAE Prime Minister and Dubai ruler Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
