Max B is stepping in to correct the narrative after a recent club appearance reignited talk about his longtime feud with Jim Jones.
Over the weekend, footage circulated showing Biggaveli hitting the stage when DJ Funk Flex suddenly dropped “We Sip Grand Cru” — a deep-cut diss record aimed squarely at Jones. But according to Max B, the moment wasn’t planned, nor was he trying to revisit decade-old drama.
In a clip shared by DJ Akademiks, Max B said he walked into the venue with a completely different set in mind. He claims Flex insisted he didn’t have the tracks that were originally intended to perform, leaving “Pin the Tail” as the only option. Moments later, Flex unexpectedly fired up “Grand Cru,” leaving the Harlem native blindsided.
“That ain’t me, that s—t wasn’t me,” Max said. “When I went in the club, I had two whole other records that wasn’t even in that chapter… We was only doing one, maybe two songs… then he played ‘Grand Cru.’ I ain’t know what was going on.”
Max B stressed that he wasn’t trying to take shots at anyone, adding that he barely remembers how the old diss goes.
“I’m not the DJ, I’m not trying to diss… I don’t even know the words to that old s—t,” he said. “I’m not out here disrespecting nobody’s lady, it was a different time. To anybody who I’ve offended, I sincerely apologize… But it wasn’t a diss for nobody.”
The moment arrives as Max B continues to re-establish himself in the industry following his release from prison. In recent months, resurfaced clips and fan chatter have stirred up nostalgia — and speculation — about his one-time tension with Jones. But Max has made it clear he wants to move forward.
He took it upon himself to dead their feud in June during an appearance on Drink Champs, saying his time incarcerated shifted his outlook.
Jones, meanwhile, addressed the potential for reconciliation on his Let’s Rap About It podcast earlier in November. And while he didn’t shut the door completely, he doesn’t appear willing to be the first to extend an olive branch.
“I may forgive, I don’t forget,” he said. “And even if I forgive, I’m not here to make anybody feel comfortable.”
Still, he clarified that he’s not interested in escalating the situation: “I don’t give a fuck about what nobody do. I’m not actively pursuing nothing but this money.”
For now, both Harlem veterans seem focused on moving forward — even if the past continues to echo through the speakers.
