Voletta Wallace, the mother of legendary rapper The Notorious B.I.G., has died at the age of 78.
A press release from the Monroe County Coroner’s Office, said Wallace passed away peacefully in hospice care at her home in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, due to natural causes.
Wallace was a devoted advocate for her son’s legacy, working tirelessly to keep his memory alive after his tragic death in 1997 at the age of 24. The Notorious B.I.G., also known as Biggie Smalls, was a rising star in the hip-hop world when his life was cut short in a shooting.
In the years following her son’s death, Wallace became a vocal advocate for justice and a fierce protector of her son’s legacy. Last year, she made headlines when she expressed her outrage towards Sean “Diddy” Combs, her son’s former friend and producer, who is currently facing federal sex crimes charges.
Wallace’s passing marks the end of an era for fans of The Notorious B.I.G., who will remember her as a devoted mother and a champion of her son’s legacy. Her tireless efforts to keep Biggie’s memory alive have ensured that his music and impact will continue to inspire generations to come.
