Weta Wallace played a significant role in the life of Notorious B.I.G., whose real name was Christopher Wallace. Raised primarily by his mother after his father left when he was just two years old, B.I.G. witnessed firsthand the hard work and resilience of his mother as she juggled multiple jobs to provide him with a better life. This foundation significantly influenced his career and artistry, establishing him as one of the most iconic figures in East Coast hip-hop.

Faith Evans and Notorious B.I.G. married in 1994, just eight days after they first met, solidifying a bond that would leave a lasting impact on the music industry. B.I.G. is celebrated not only for his talent but also for his role in elevating New York City’s profile in hip-hop during a time when West Coast artists dominated the scene.

In her tribute, she concluded with, “May your spirit live on in the lives you have touched, and your wisdom continue to be a lesson for us all.” The music community mourns the loss of Weta Wallace, who will be remembered for her unwavering support and love for her son and his artistic journey.
