New York rapper heads straight from prison to the Jets game after serving 16 YEARS for his role in botched armed robbery

A New York rapper wasted no time in getting back to normal life after serving 16 years behind bars - as he made his way straight from jail to the Jets on Sunday afternoon.

Harlem native 'Max B' (born Charley Wingate), who first rose to fame in the mid-2000s, was arrested in 2007 on manslaughter and armed robbery charges.

He was later convicted in 2009 and handed a 75-year sentence. However, in 2016, he agreed to a plea deal that reduced his sentence down to 20 years. 

On Sunday, the rapper's lengthy incarceration came to an end and he celebrated the occasion by heading straight to MetLife. 

Max was spotted on the sidelines for the New York Jets game against the Cleveland Browns and was even seen chopping it up with Shedeur Sanders on the day. 

The rapper was also seen giving an interview to 'The People Gallery' where he discussed his sideline fit and gave fashion advice. 

'Fresh out the can,' he proudly declared when asked how he was doing in a video, filmed by The People Gallery. 'They gave me 75, but I'm back.'

Max B went on to shoutout his designer makeover, which included a Louis Vuitton fanny pack and sneakers. He noted he felt 'good' and 'grateful' to be home. 

The rapper was treated to a thrilling affair at MetLife as the Jets picked up their second win of the season following a 27-20 victory over the Browns. 

The Jets made franchise history on the day after having a kickoff return and a punt return for TDs in the same game.

Kene Nwangwu returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter and, half a minute later, Isaiah Williams brought back a punt 74 yards for a score.

Despite his time behind bars, Max B still managed to create music and record verses, mostly over the phone. 

This includes the 2011 album Vigilante Season and the 2019 single, Hold On, with longtime collaborator French Montana, who was one of the first to greet him upon his release.

Montana marked the moment on social media with a celebratory post, which read: 'CANT MAKE THIS UP! MY BROTHER REALLY CAME HOME ON MY B DAY! HAMDULILLAH WALKED IT DOWN! NO MORE FREE YOU.'

In the video of them reuniting, the pals can be sharing a friendly embrace. 

Despite his legal woes, Max B managed to keep working and even appeared on Kanye West's The Life of Pablo and contributed the 'Max B Interlude' to Wiz Khalifa's Kush + Orange Juice 2 earlier this year.

Now a free man, the rapper wasted no time teasing what's next.

In a triumphant social media post, he wrote: 'ITS TIME TO OPEN THE FLOOD GATES.'
