The wave is back. After 16 years behind bars, Harlem rapper Max B has finally been released from prison.

On Sunday (Nov. 9), the 47-year-old who was serving time for murder conspiracy and robbery was welcomed by family and friends outside the Northern State Prison in Newark, New Jersey including associate and frequent collaborator, French Montana.

Immediately after his release, Max B celebrated his newfound freedom with his first post-prison public appearance at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium for the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets game.

“I feel righteous. I’m feeling good, I’m grateful, I’m thankful. God is good,” Max Biggaveli told The People Gallery. He continued with some advice, “Listen, man, just be yourself. Get what you can afford… And wear what you wear. If it looks good on you, own it.”

In 2009, Max B, born Charly Wingate, was convicted of 9 of the 11 counts, including felony murder, for his alleged role in orchestrating a botched robbery that turned deadly at a New Jersey hotel in 2006. He was sentenced to 75 years. The following year, Max B was granted an appeal, but was denied in 2012. His convictions were vacated in 2016 and his sentenced was reduced to 20 years after agreeing to plead guilty to aggravated manslaughter.

During Max B’s incarceration, Max B released endless music and projects including his previous studio album, Negro Spirituals in 2021.

Three months after his RICO trial verdict, Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison.

On Friday (Oct. 3), Diddy was ordered 50 months by a New York City federal judge prostitution-related charges as well as a $500,000 fine, which is the maximum fine the judge could impose. The Judge Arun Subramanian’s stated that although the max of 11 years was excessive, being released with only 14 months served was not enough.

“A history of good works cannot wash away the record in this case, which showed that you abused the power and control you had over the women you professed to love dearly,” said judge Subramanian. “You abused them physically, emotionally and psychologically and you used that abuse to get your way.”

Diddy, who broke down in tears following the verdict, issued an apology to his family and victims. “My actions were disgusting, shameful and sick. I was sick,” said the 55-year-old hip hop mogul. “Sick from the drugs, I was out of control. I needed help but I didn’t get the help. Because of that I can make no excuse.”

Back in July, a 12-member jury convicted Diddy guilty of two of his five charges. He was guilty on his lesser charges of MANN act of transporting Cassie Ventura and MANN act of transporting Jane, but found not guilty on the charges of RICO and sex trafficking.
