Kim Kardashian To Help Release Max B?
French Montana is hoping Kim Kardashian can do the same for Max B that she did for Alice Marie Johnson. Max, born Charlie Wingate, was sentenced to 75 years in 2009 after being found guilty of conspiracy, robbery and homicide charges. Montana called upon Kim in an attempt to help get the influential rapper a pardon from prison. In a recent interview with Zane Lowe on Beats1 Radio the Bronx MC said he and his friend Kim have discussed getting Max home.
"Just watching Kylie [Jenner] become a billionaire and watching certain people just break certain records, it makes you feel like the land of where dreams come true. You know what I'm saying? I mean, life is like a mirror sometimes. And sometimes a lot of people don't see the good that they do, like as far as Kim," French began. "Me and Kim was talking about getting Max B home from jail. So, like for her to even reach out and do that I felt like that was powerful. A lot of people don't see things like that."
In 2016, Max B took a plea bargain and was said to be getting out around 2025, although rumors have been swirling that he’ll hit the streets later this year or next year. Kim Kardashian recently spoke to CNN’s Van Jones about controversial dealings with President Trump.
"I know I got so many times people would say to me, 'Don't go to the White House, your career will be over, don't go there,'" Kim revealed about the flack she’s caught.
"And I just kind of weighed the decision where it was like ... to save a life or to get maybe bad tweets about me or a bad news story for a few days. I guarantee you the people sitting behind bars do not care who the president is. They just want that relief. And so if I could have done that, I don't care,"
Alice Johnson’s sentence was commuted by Trump last summer but her offense was a non-violent crime. Max is jailed for murder so it will definitely be tougher to get the rap star out.
Kardashian has continued to work on Justice reform and has announced she is studying to follow in her father’s footsteps and become a lawyer.
"It's in me," she said to Jones about her family’s history in law. Kardashian is studying to take the California Bar exam in 2022 and currently has an apprenticeship with a San Francisco law firm in the interim.
"I don't want to be put in a box," the reality star added. "I saw a comment where someone said, 'You need to stay in your lane. You can have ambitions but don't be too ambitious.' I read it to my husband in bed, and I was just like, 'This will even push me harder.’”
