Released from Prison After 16 Years

Harlem rapper Max B is officially a free man … walking out of prison after more than a decade behind bars.

The “Wavy Crockett” rapper was originally sentenced to 75 years in 2009 for his alleged role in a botched New Jersey robbery that turned deadly. But Max’s conviction was later overturned, and in 2016, he struck a plea deal for aggravated manslaughter, drastically reducing his time.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Max teased his release earlier this year, calling into The Joe Budden Podcast to say, “We got a date! I’ve got November 9, 2025, baby!”

His longtime friend and collaborator French Montana confirmed the news on Instagram Sunday, posting a celebratory message … “CANT MAKE THIS UP ! MY BROTHER REALLY CAME HOME ON MY B DAY ! HAMDULILLAH 🤲🏼
WALKED IT DOWN ! NO MORE FREE YOU 🌊 🌊 🌊”

Max B’s “wave” sound influenced everyone from ASAP Mob to Wiz Khalifa, and his name’s been shouted out in tracks by Kanye West, Drake, and The Weeknd.
