Overview
- Max B, 47, left Northern State Prison in Newark on Nov. 9 and was welcomed outside by longtime collaborator French Montana, who shared video of the reunion.
- He was originally convicted in 2009 for charges tied to a 2006 New Jersey robbery that left David Taylor dead, but a judge later vacated the conviction over a conflict of interest involving prior counsel.
- Following the vacatur, he pleaded guilty in 2016 to aggravated manslaughter and was resentenced to 20 years with credit for time served, paving the way for Sunday’s release.
- Soon after leaving prison, he hinted at new music on social media and appeared at the New York Jets game at MetLife Stadium, telling fans he felt grateful and ready to work.
- He previously announced a seven-date East Coast club tour and, despite online chatter about an old feud with Jim Jones, outlets note much of the talk appears to be driven by suspicious accounts rather than verified statements.
