French Montana steps in to help a New York City taxi driver whose yellow cab is damaged during celebrations after the Knicks win Game 4, securing the franchise’s first NBA title in 53 years. Multiple outlets report that the cab driver, identified by CBS News as Noureddine Bitat, is assaulted and his vehicle is smashed amid the crowd’s disorder following the championship. In the immediate aftermath, the rapper publicly calls for help, asking that someone “find” the driver. In a later update, Yahoo Sports and CBS News say the driver raises significant money after French Montana’s request, with Yahoo Sports citing $51,000 raised. CBS News also reports that French Montana describes the situation as personally resonant and discusses his involvement in assisting the driver as he recovers and works to get back on his feet. The Independent similarly reports that French Montana helps the cab driver after the taxi is destroyed during the Knicks celebrations. The reports collectively describe the damaged cab, the public outreach by French Montana, and subsequent fundraising progress for the driver.
