Max B’s Wife Reveals an Ex Introduced Her to His Music Before They Met in Prison: ‘Shout-Out to Him’

Max B met his wife while he was behind bars about a decade ago, and she joined him for her first-ever interview on Wednesday (Nov. 19) since his release from prison. The chat was part of a Mase-assisted episode of Cam’ron’s Talk With Flee.

Max B’s wife — who has not publicly shared her name — opened up about how she met the artist born Charles Wingate and revealed that it was actually an ex of hers who put her on to the Wave God’s music.

“I had an ex-boyfriend and he would listen to his music, so shout-out to him,” she said, which drew a laugh from Mase and Cam. “Ever since that, I was listening to his music. I didn’t know he was locked up when I was listening to his music. That’s when I researched him and I found out about his case.”

She revealed that the ex said he’s “happy” for her, and Max actually invited him to their wedding, but he declined to attend. “I’ll sit that one out,” the former flame allegedly told her.

Mrs. Wingate explained that they connected when she wrote him letters after learning about his case. Max was originally sentenced to 75 years for a 2007 murder and robbery. He later pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and received a reduced sentence of 20 years. Max B ended up serving about 16 years behind bars.

“I met him probably, like, 10 years ago. I wrote him and it was just kind of like, after reading his case,” she said. “I was compelled to write him. I wanted to give him some type of faith or hope.”

Mrs. Wingate continued of their journey: “People that are on the outside have problems already that are not in jail. Imagine the problems — somebody incarcerated and you can’t really work through them like how a normal person would, you know? Like, he can’t call me when he wants to every time. Sometimes he would be in the hole or something like that, and I can’t communicate with him.”

Max B and his wife married while he was behind bars, and he gave her a renewal diamond ring at his welcome home dinner on Nov. 10, following his release on Nov. 9.
