French Montana<\/a> is trying to track down a devastated New York cab driver whose vehicle was wrecked during wild celebrations after the Knicks’ NBA Championship win … and he’s hoping to help get the man back on his feet.<\/p>\n

The rapper took to X urging followers to help locate 59-year-old Noureddine Bitat after sharing a viral video showing the driver standing in stunned silence beside his destroyed taxi Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The footage is a tough watch … while fans celebrated the Knicks’ historic victory on top of his cab, Noureddine appeared completely heartbroken as he processed the damage happening to his vehicle that helped him make a living for his family in Algeria.<\/p>\n

French was so moved by the story, he sent it to his pal Zachery Dereniowski, who teamed up with the New York Taxi Workers Alliance to launch a GoFundMe<\/a> for Noureddine.<\/p>\n

The fundraiser sheds more light on the challenges he’s now facing … and organizers have set a goal of $25,000 to help him recover from the loss and get back on the road.<\/p>\n
