Max B Released From Prison – French Montana Posts Video Hugging Him After Years Behind Bars
In a moving Instagram post, French Montana shared what appears to be a reunion with longtime friend Max B as the rapper was welcomed home — a moment French described: “CANT MAKE THIS UP! MY BROTHER REALLY CAME HOME ON MY BDAY! HAMDULILLAH WALKED IT DOWN! NO MORE FREE YOU ”. The video shows warm embraces and appears to mark a significant milestone for Max B.
Max B (real name Charley Wingate) was incarcerated following one of the most highly-publicised hip-hop criminal cases in recent history. In 2009, he was convicted on multiple charges including conspiracy, armed r#bbery, and kidnapping after a botched hotel heist in New Jersey. According to reports, he was initially sentenced to up to 75 years in prison.
Over time, his sentence was reduced when he entered a plea for aggravated mansl#ughter. Though the exact timing of his release in the footage isn’t stated in the post, a jail-phone-call interview suggested he could be released by November 9, 2025.
French Montana’s caption references “WALKED IT DOWN! NO MORE FREE YOU” — an apparent nod to Max B’s long-standing supporters rallying under the “Free Max B” banner during his incarceration.
