Harlem rapper Max B has been released from prison after serving 16 years for his role in a fatal armed robbery.

The rapper, known for popularizing the term “wavy,” was released from prison on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Fellow rapper French Montana, with whom Max B collaborated on the “Coke Wave” mixtapes, posted an Instagram video of him being reunited with his close friend and collaborator.

“CANT MAKE THIS UP! MY BROTHER REALLY CAME HOME ON MY B DAY!,” the caption on the video read. “HAMDULILLAH 🤲🏼WALKED IT DOWN! NO MORE FREE YOU."

A video posted to X showed French Montana celebrating his birthday with Max B. Other social media videos captured the rapper already getting back in the studio and stopping by a New York Jets game where he spoke out for the first time following his prison release.

“I feel righteous,” Max B said in an interview with The People Gallery that was posted on Instagram. “I’m feeling good. I’m grateful. I’m thankful.”

Max B, whose real name is Charley Wingate, is known for releasing the “Public Domain” and “Million Dollar Baby” mixtape series. The rapper has been credited with influencing other melodic rappers including Young Thug and Wiz Khalifa.

After making his debut in 2006, Max B signed a recording deal with ByrdGang, a collective founded by fellow Harlem-based rapper Jim Jones. The two parted ways in 2008 and later became embroiled in a bitter feud that pitted both rappers and their respective associates against each other.

In 2009, Max B was sentenced to 75 years in prison after he was convicted of numerous charges — including murder, kidnapping and armed robbery — in connection with a New Jersey robbery that resulted in a death, Rolling Stone reported. Max B was not in the state at the time and his conviction was later vacated in 2016 after a new legal team argued that his original trial lawyer had a conflict of interest in the case.

The rapper’s sentence was reduced to 20 years as a result, per Rolling Stone. He revealed on Instagram earlier this year that he would be released sooner on condition of a mandatory five-year supervision.

“I’m feeling righteous, man,” Max B told the Joe Budden Podcast earlier this year. “I’m doing all right. This is almost over. … Wavy Baby coming home real soon.”

Max B has continued to release music from prison and announced a seven-date tour last month. The tour, which will celebrate his release, kicked off Sunday night with a show in New York City.

The tour will continue throughout the Northeast before concluding on Dec. 13 in Trenton, New Jersey.
