Max B
Charley Wingate (born May 21, 1978), better known by his stage name Max B (short for Max Biggaveli), is an American rapper, singer, and convicted criminal. He is best known for his solo Public Domain and Million Dollar Baby series of mixtapes. He introduced the term "wavy" as a slang in popular lexicon.
He made his mixtape debut in 2006, and signed a recording deal with fellow Harlem-based rapper Jim Jones' label/group ByrdGang. Following a streak of financial and ethical grievances, Max B parted ways with Jones in 2008. The two became embroiled in a bitter feud which pitted Jones and his associates on one side, and Max B and his affiliates on the other. Max B is closely associated with producer Dame Grease, and fellow rapper French Montana where the two collaborated on the Coke Wave mixtape series.
In mid-2009, he was sentenced to 75 years in prison on conspiracy charges pertaining to armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated assault and felony murder. He secured a 3-album deal with Amalgam Digital which published his debut album Vigilante Season in 2011. On September 16, 2016, it was announced that Max B took a 20-year plea bargain for aggravated manslaughter. He was released from prison on November 9, 2025.
