Voletta Wallace, the mother of the late Notorious B.I.G., recently expressed her feelings towards Diddy in a candid statement. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Wallace admitted to feeling disgusted by the allegations against the Bad Boy Records founder. She even mentioned wanting to physically confront Diddy, stating, “I hope that I see Sean one day and the only thing I want to do is slap the daylights out of him. And you can quote me on that.” Wallace also shared her disappointment and shame over the situation.
The controversy erupted after surveillance footage from 2016 surfaced showing Diddy assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie. Following the release of the footage, Diddy issued a public apology on Instagram, taking full responsibility for his actions. The incident has sparked a wave of investigations and reports, including an in-depth investigative piece by Cheyenne Roundtree and Nancy Dillon for Rolling Stone. According to CNN, a federal grand jury may soon hear testimonies from multiple accusers.
Biggie, who was signed to Bad Boy Records, plays a central role in the unfolding narrative. Speculations about his strained relationship with Diddy and the label have resurfaced, with claims that he was planning to leave Bad Boy before his untimely death. Both his debut album, “Ready to Die,” and the posthumously released “Life After Death” were released under the Bad Boy imprint, showcasing his undeniable talent and influence in the music industry.
The legacy of Biggie, who was tragically shot and killed in 1997 at the age of 24, continues to resonate with fans and musicians alike. His impact on the rap genre can be felt through his timeless hits and collaborations. The tribute track “I’ll Be Missing You,” released by Diddy and Faith Evans in honor of Biggie, became a chart-topping success and won a Grammy award. Despite his premature passing, Biggie’s legacy lives on through his music and the fond memories shared by those who knew him.
