In a recent heated exchange, rapper Jim Jones made it unequivocally clear that he wants nothing to do with fellow artist Max B. During an appearance on Connecticut radio show hosted by Jenny Boom Boom, Jones expressed his strong disinterest in collaborating with the incarcerated rapper, stating, “I would never in my life entertain a collaboration with him.” This definitive stance underscores a longstanding rift between the two artists, which dates back to their friendship in the mid-2000s.
Jones has consistently avoided discussing Max B, even when prompted in past interviews. In a notable instance during a 2020 appearance on Sway in the Morning, he responded to a caller’s inquiry about their relationship with a dismissive remark: “Yo, tell your mother I said hi,” illustrating his desire to keep the conversation off the table.
Max B, whose real name is Charly Wingate, has been incarcerated since 2009 after receiving a 75-year sentence on conspiracy charges, although his sentence has since been reduced. He was expected to be released in 2021, but the ongoing tensions with Jones indicate that any potential reconciliation remains unlikely.
The relationship between Jones and Max B has been tumultuous, with Jones’s recent comments serving as a stark reminder of their fractured past. In March, a jailhouse interview with Max B surfaced on YouTube, where the 42-year-old lamented his situation and the impact it has had on his relationships within the music industry.
As the feud continues to simmer, Jim Jones’s clear message is that he intends to maintain his distance from Max B, reinforcing a divide that has only deepened over the years. With both artists pursuing their respective careers, fans will have to wait and see whether this animosity will ever be resolved.
