Lil Kim, Christian Combs, Faith Evans, CJ Wallace, Lil Cease, and other prominent figures gathered for a group photo after paying their respects at the funeral service of Voletta Wallace, mother of the late rapper Biggie Smalls.
The funeral service, held at Frank Campbell Funeral Chapel in Manhattan, saw a diverse mix of attendees from various stages of Biggie’s life coming together to honor Wallace. Notable figures such as Faith Evans, Lil Kim, CJ Wallace, and others were present, showing their support and love for the Wallace family.
Voletta Wallace, who passed away on February 21 at the age of 78, played a crucial role in managing her son Biggie’s estate after his tragic death in 1997. She was dedicated to empowering youth, particularly in disadvantaged communities, to help them steer clear of violence and pursue their aspirations through the Christopher Wallace Foundation.
While Wallace has been laid to rest, there are lingering concerns about the handling of her son’s estate. Allegations have surfaced regarding possible exploitation of Wallace’s declining health for financial gain, with claims that associates of Sean “Diddy” Combs were involved in negotiating lucrative deals related to Biggie’s music catalog while Wallace was unwell.
The special bond shared by Biggie's closest friends and family members was evident as they came together to honor and remember Voletta Wallace, highlighting the enduring legacy of the hip-hop icon and the importance of supporting and preserving his musical contributions.
