Media personality larry madowo is rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous in the US. He was recently spotted in the company of American-based African hip-hop star French Montana.

I caught up with @frenchmontana at his home in LA. The Moroccan-born hip-hop star told me he’s proud to have “paved the way for Africa” and is coming back to the continent to find talent. What’s your favourite French hit?" Larry posted on Instagram.
