Max B Sets Nov. 9 Prison Release After Parole Plan Cleared

The Harlem rapper will begin a five-year probation term under a plan approved by New York authorities.

Overview

  • He announced the date by posting an official New Jersey State Parole Board letter to his Instagram on September 15.
  • The August letter, signed by Division of Release Director Carla M. Shabazz, confirms that New York accepted his parole plan.
  • His 2009 conviction for murder and armed robbery with a 75-year sentence was vacated in 2016 due to a conflict-of-interest finding.
  • He subsequently pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter in a 20-year deal that credited time already served.
  • He has said incarceration shifted his outlook and that he aims to reconcile past disputes, including ending his feud with Jim Jones, while focusing on family and career.
