French Montana Celebrates Birthday and Reunion with Max B at Intimate NYC Dinner
On November 9, global hip-hop heavyweight French Montana rang in his birthday in true New York fashion — not with a flashy spectacle, but with an intimate dinner surrounded by close friends and family at AYA Nightclub in Manhattan.
The night was more special than your average birthday celebration. Less than 24 hours after his release from prison, Harlem legend Max B reunited with French, marking the duo’s first time together in more than 15 years. For anyone who’s followed their story, the moment was a long time in the making.
The two shared a brotherhood that helped define a pivotal era in New York rap. French and Max’s undeniable chemistry helped shape a sound that bridged mixtape hustle and mainstream success. Their reunion was more than just nostalgia, it was a modern-day hip-hop moment in time.
French summed it up best on Instagram, writing:
“CAN’T MAKE THIS UP! MY BROTHER REALLY CAME HOME ON MY BDAY!”
The dinner pulled together a select, high-profile guest list that blended royalty and rap royalty alike. French’s fiancée, Sheikha Mahra, Princess of Dubai was in attendance, alongside UK rap phenom Central Cee. The vibe was refined yet energetic, with a curated menu and Monster Energy added a sleek, elevated touch to the night’s partnership.
Inside AYA, the atmosphere was equal parts celebration and reflection. Laughter, storytelling, and gratitude filled the room as glasses clinked to new beginnings. It was a toast to both French Montana’s continued run and Max B’s long-awaited homecoming.
For French, the night wasn’t just about another year of success; it was a reminder of how far he’s come. From his humble beginnings in the Bronx to hip-hop stardom, the evening felt like a victory lap for loyalty, perseverance, and legacy.
Because at the end of the day, as French reminded everyone in the room, the real milestones aren’t measured in numbers or plaques, but in the people who made the journey with you.
