Rapper Max B has officially been released from prison after serving 16 years for his involvement in a botched armed robbery that ended in tragedy
The Harlem native (born Charley Wingate), who first rose to fame in the mid-2000s, was arrested in 2007 on manslaughter and armed robbery charges.
He was later convicted in 2009 and handed a 75-year sentence.
Though Max wasn’t physically present at the New Jersey crime scene, prosecutors argued he played a role in orchestrating the robbery that led to a man’s death.
In 2016, his conviction was vacated after his new legal team successfully argued that his original attorney had a conflict of interest, leading to his sentence being reduced to 20 years.
Earlier this year, he correctly predicted he would walk away free soon.
‘I’m feeling righteous, man. I’m doing all right. This is almost over… Wavy Baby coming home real soon,’ he said on The Joe Budden Podcast.
On Sunday, the star marked the end of his lengthy incarceration.
Despite his time behind bars, Max B still managed to create music and record verses, mostly over the phone.
