Max B Is Getting Out of Prison Early
The Wave God himself, Max Biggaveli, is finally coming home. Max B — born Charly Wingate — has been incarcerated since 2009, serving a 75-year sentence, but will now be released early. After hiring the legal team of Bruno and Ferraro, he reached a plea deal reducing his case to a single charge of aggravated manslaughter.
Originally, Max B faced 12 charges from the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office in New Jersey, including first-degree murder, robbery, and kidnapping. All of those charges have now been dropped. More information regarding his official release date and the terms of the plea agreement will be shared soon.
The news first surfaced on Wiz Khalifa’s Twitter, where the Pittsburgh rapper wrote, “Max B is coming home. Sentence got shortened. Looks like the Gang will be working wit the Wave.” French Montana also celebrated the update on Instagram, noting that Max may have only two to six years left to serve. Noisey later confirmed the reduced sentence through a representative for Max B.
Following the announcement, Max B released the following statement:
“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. 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 Jr., Jonathan Bruno, John Lotorocca, and Linda Peterson did an outstanding on my case and fighting for me.”
“I wanna thank The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee. I wanna give a special thanks to my friend and partner Frank Babar and Phase One Network, William Cosgrove, Corey Whitaker, and The Playbook Agency. Without the support of the Phase One team, I wouldn’t have made it this far. I want to thank my boy Masar, Alpac, and my brother from another mother, French Montana aka Mac with the Cheese—I love you bro! 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. Last, but certainly not least, my lovely and wonderful mother Mamaveli, I love you!”
