Overview
- At a Nov. 28 release-party event for Stove God Cooks in New York City, Max B was heard performing “We Sip Grand Cru,” a track with pointed lines about Jim Jones.
- Max B later said he planned different songs for the brief set and claimed Funk Flex unexpectedly played “Grand Cru,” calling the moment unintentional.
- He told fans in a clip shared by DJ Akademiks that he was not trying to reignite past issues, noted he barely remembers the old lyrics, and issued a sincere apology.
- Online reaction split between praise and criticism as trolling and suspected bot accounts amplified the exchange across social platforms.
- Jim Jones has not posted a new response to the incident, though he recently described reconciliation as possible yet difficult, saying he may forgive but does not forget.
