Looks like Max B will be returning home earlier than expected.
The rapper has reached a plea deal with Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office in New Jersey which will effectively reduce his sentence from the initial 75 year term. He was charged in 2009 on a twelve-count indictment which included first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and first-degree kidnapping, all of which will now be dropped. The agreement contains the sole charge of aggravated manslaughter. Max released the following statement through his rep:
“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, John Bruno Jr., 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!”
His good friend French Montana celebrated the news on Instagram and also revealed that Max will be home in about two years.

Even Wiz Khalifa, who beefed with Kanye over the “wavy” term back in January looked ecstatic to learn the development.
Max B is coming home. Sentence got shortened. Looks like the Gang will be working wit the Wave.
