Max B was able to cut off some time from his 75-year-long prison sentence with the help of a new legal and management team.
The Harlem, New York rapper will be entering a plea agreement for a charge of aggravated manslaughter with the charges of first-degree murder, first-degree robbery and first-degree kidnapping being dropped. He was first sentenced in 2009 on charges from a robbery attempt-turned-homicide.
Wiz Khalifa announced the news of the icon’s deal on his twitter. And an Instagram post from French Montana implies that the Wave God could be out of prison in six years. Both rappers helped recently re-educate the public — including Kanye West — about Max B’s importance to the rap game after Yeezy contemplated naming his album WAVES.
Max B’s team released an official statement from the legend expressing his excitement at the news.
“I would like to take this time to humbly express my gratitude to the Bergen County Courts, The Honorable James J. Guida, and Mr. Grewal of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office for looking into my Post-Conviction Relief,” Max says. “This proceeding was not a question of my guilt or innocence, but about the bad advice, poor judgment, and overall ineffectiveness of my trial attorney. I would also like to thank my legal team at The Law Offices of Bruno & Ferraro; my wonderful attorneys John Bruno, John Bruno Jr., John Lotorocca, and Linda Peterson did an outstanding on my case and fighting for me.”
He also goes on to thank his mother, The Breakfast Club, French Montana and his loyal fans.
“French Montana aka Mac with the Cheese – I love you bro!” Max continues. “Wave Gods till we die!!! To all my fans that been holding it down for me all these years, still banging my music and still keeping it wavy. I love you all and Stay Wavy.”
COULD be out in 6 years? Damn hhdx fuck you made it sound like it was gonna straight be next week
Deadass smh
2 to 6 is next week compared to 75 lol
The Wave lives on . . . ????????????
Wavy
Great news. I never heard this mans music, read about the case and situation he was in on hip-hop blogs. It’s just good to know a person serving that long of a sentence (insofar) can go home. Can’t hate that.
I can..
I’m happy for the man but I also wonder, (forgive me if I’m not in the loop) how do you get convicted of something, get sentenced, be seveal years into that sentence then all of a sudden have the charges dropped? Just having a bad trial attorney gets you off the hook for murder?
If they make it so you don’t have a fair trial, yes. Just very rare that an appeal actually works in those circumstances
Money talks..
The illuminati is real.. I’m sure there are more deserving people (who didn’t kill anybody) who’s cases should be reevaluated. I’m not hating on a man coming home, but it just seems really fishy.
Max be has the best legal team in history! Wow.
Max B
Always glad to hear a brother getting out
Glad I’m not a relative of the victim forced to see people praising this guy’s early release. Imagine if he perpetrated this crime against your family. Wavy.
Facts. People need to grow up. On an unrelated note, this dude me mad overrated.
He didn’t do it. He wasn’t even in that state when it did happen.
i wonder how Jim Jones feels about this..Owwwwww
Something ain’t right about this!!! To find a judge or lawyer incompetent this many years later is opening Pandora’s box for more appeals and releases. The system never admits to being wrong!!!
Icon???
He still sucks….
still wait for my best deejay appeal en to see him released more music though its not related to hip hop, VYBZ KARTEL.some of the false accusation en sentences.
