The wave officially rolled back into MetLife Stadium today as fans across hip-hop and beyond celebrated the long-awaited return of Max B.
After serving 18 years behind bars, the Harlem rapper walked free on Sunday (November 9) and wasted no time rejoining the world. Social media quickly lit up with excitement as clips surfaced of Max reuniting with family and friends—and even making his first public appearance.
Max B pulled up to the New York Jets vs. Cleveland Browns game at MetLife Stadium, where he stopped by The People Gallery on Instagram for a quick outfit check and interview. When asked how it felt to finally be home, he responded, “I feel righteous. I’m feeling good, I’m grateful, I’m thankful. God is good.” Dressed head to toe in Louis Vuitton, Max also dropped a few gems for fans: “Just be yourself. Get what you can afford and wear it with confidence. If it looks good on you, own it.”
The 47-year-old, who proudly declared himself his own favorite rapper, also extended an open invitation to top artists. “Anybody that can keep up with the boss don—any A-lister—hit me up. I’ma get you right, I’ma get you wavy,” he said.
Max’s release marks the end of a long legal journey that once saw him facing a 75-year sentence on conspiracy, murder, and assault charges. His convictions were vacated in 2016 after a guilty plea, drastically reducing his time.
Now free, Max is looking for peace both personally and professionally. During a previous prison call, he expressed a desire to make amends with former collaborator Jim Jones, with whom he’d had a longstanding feud. “Jim said a bunch of hard s**t about me, and I said some back—it’s all love,” Max said. “I’m a new man now. I’m married, I got four kids. I’m just focused on my money and riding off into the sunset.”
