Watch: Does French Montana Think Blac Chyna Is Good for Rob K.?

Blac Chyna is good for Rob Kardashian.

So says his pal and self-described big brother French Montana.

"I think that anybody that makes you do great in life, motivates you, I think it's good for you," French, 31, told me last night at the premiere of his new movie The Perfect Match (in theaters on March 11).

Describing Rob, 28, as his "little brother," French said, "I love the energy Rob has right now. I just love that. He's in just a happy spirit."

While there were rumors recently that Rob and Blac Chyna, 27, had split, they just returned to L.A. from a quick trip to Atlanta, where she hosted a party at Medusa nightclub on Sunday.

"Chy and I are not broken up we just feel like it would be a lot healthier for our relationship if we kept a lot more to ourselves," Rob captioned a close-up pic of the couple's faces pic on Instagram. "It's impossible to have a positive relationship with so much negativity from the media and outsiders and we would appreciate it if everyone respects that."

The message came shortly after Rob purged his entire Instagram feed. Chyna fueled the breakup rumors when she wrote on Instagram, "When you just get out of a relationship & your hoe friend welcomes you back into the World of Hoe."

She later deleted the post.

Sources told E! News at the time that the two had a "blow up" over family tensions stemming from the Kardashians and Jenners not approving of the relationship.
