In a surprising turn of events, rapper Max B has extended an olive branch to fellow artist Jim Jones, expressing a desire to mend their long-standing feud. Speaking from Northern State Prison in New Jersey, where he is currently incarcerated, Max B called into the popular podcast “Drink Champs” to share his reflections on life behind bars and his changed perspective on his past conflicts.
Max B, whose real name is Maxwell Rivera, acknowledged the history of animosity between him and Jones, admitting that both artists have exchanged harsh words over the years. Notably, he referenced some of the more intense comments made by Jones, including wishing him dead. However, in a significant shift from previous tensions, Max B stated, “It’s all good. Listen, man. It’s love, man. I want to start over.”
The rapper emphasized that his time in prison has led to personal growth and a reevaluation of his priorities. “I’m a new man. I’m a married man. I got four kids,” he shared, indicating that his family and future have become central to his life. He expressed a commitment to focusing on positive endeavors, saying, “I’m on a whole different time right now. I’m out here to get my money and ride out the sunset with this.”
Max B also noted that he views his past differences with Jones not with regret, but rather as part of his journey. He believes that everyone has the capacity to grow and improve, stating, “At the end of the day, we all grow… It’s time to elevate. Time to build.” His message resonated with a sense of responsibility, as he mentioned the importance of passing down wisdom to the younger generation.
This new perspective from Max B opens the door for potential reconciliation between the two artists, who have had a turbulent relationship since their earlier collaborations. Fans and industry observers alike will be watching closely to see if Jim Jones responds positively to Max B’s heartfelt message of peace. As the conversation around personal growth and reconciliation continues to evolve, it remains to be seen what the next chapter holds for these two prominent figures in hip-hop.
