Kanye West got into a Twitter beef with Wiz Khalifa when the Chicago rapper tentatively named his album WAVES and Khalifa claimed he was biting Max B.
Apparently, West did not know who Max B, often known as the founder of the wavy movement, was.
French Montana says in a recent interview with Hot 97, that he had to educate West on Max B’s influence. He is listed in the credits for the song, “Siiiiiiiiilver Surffffeeeeer Intermission,” which features a discussion between West and Max B.
“Kanye didn’t really know who Max B is, which was kinda strange to me when me and him were talking,” the Coke Boys rapper says, “but once I gave him the homework behind everything, we got it together.”
French says that West quickly appreciated the incarcerated rapper’s importance to the Rap industry and asked how he could help the rapper’s cause. Max B is serving a 75-year prison sentence on murder conspiracy and robbery charges.
“He’s probably the first one to call me, outta nowhere, when his album just dropped, like an hour after his album dropped, just asked me, ‘What can we do to get Max B out? Let me use my power to get him out,'” French Montana says. “That never happened before, from nobody. So I got a lot of respect for him for that, ’cause you know how much Max B means to me and means to the culture of Hip Hop.”
In regards to West’s use of “waves” for an early title of the album that became The Life of Pablo and for the name of a song on the project, Montana echoes Max B’s earlier sentiments that he was grateful for the tribute.
“With Max, where he at right now in life in general, he appreciates everything,” Montana says. “He takes it as a form of flattery when things like that happen. He’s just happy. He was excited.”
French Montana released his Wave Gods project, hosted by Max B, yesterday (February 19).

lmao i find that hard to believe. max b been around even with jim jones before french was even in the picture. you telling me kanye is that disconnected?
Cause Kanye West is an international superstar, French and Max B are just local bums.
Max B was never a big name.
EXCUSE MY FRENCH BUT MAX B WAS WACK AS FUCK!!!! PURE GARBAGE
Shut up bitch
this is pure bullshit, Max was a member of Dipset, Kanye produced a bunch of songs on Diplomats, Cam and Jim Jones albums, but he never knew who Max B is ? French has been relevant for like 3-4 years at most, how the fuck he could drop knowledge on Kanye?
and stop reachin… Max B was wack as fuck and was never influential or meant anything to the culture of hiphop in any form.
French has been relevant….lol
As if Max B was ever that relevant in the first place.
Which was???? Ballin? A hit? Mediocre. I’m a cam fan but jones is a hype man no more. Plus after all the ghost writing he then fucks max b and blackballed him with the rights to ‘his’ music.
He actually wrote jim jones` biggest hitsong, so if that`s irrelevant then ok..
Kanye doesn’t know anyone apart from Kanye.
this wave shit is gay as fuck. Max b was trash and stays pullin booty duty in jail.
die and burn in hell you stupid motherfucker. Not cool
Max B music is not that good at all. Stop getting upset over someone you dont really know.
Y’all sound like a bunch broke pissed off people with nothing else better to do in life besides talk about some who has wayyyyy more money then you will ever See.

meanwhile a hundred dx readers still wondering who the fuck is max b, while the rest 6 billion people dont give a fuck. Well at least Kanye knows
btw max b might wanna sue dictionary publishers, coz theres waves all over the books, we kinda use the word everyday without even knowing that them waves is somehow connected to this unfortunate niqqa
Yeah, but as for starting to say being wavey as being fly, that`s max b`s thing.
I swear ya dumb af. Max has over 400 tracks released within 3-4 years of being out. You cant tell me out of all those tracks none of ya like even a few them. He lived wat he rapped about. him and stack bundles. Get off this site with all this hatin. Extra lame.
And French Montana forgot about him until Kanye brought his name back into the world….
Max B is never getting out and going to die in PRISON
This is what’s wrong with rap music, if a guy is serving a 75 year sentence for murder and robbery…….He’s a criminal, don’t act like he’s a political prisoner or something…….Stop idolizing fake prophets
ur right, no one’s ever gone to jail for a crime they didn’t commit. take your white ass home fcukboi, you old piece of shit
Kanye knew him max….
..stop fronting 4 d idiots….#idiot
