Even after finally hitting it big, The Notorious B.I.G.'s career was marred with legal troubles, coastal rivalries, and a feud with a former friend that ended in both their untimely murders. Here is the tragic real-life story of The Notorious B.I.G.
Christopher Wallace was born on May 21, 1972, in Brooklyn, New York, to Voletta Wallace, a Jamaican preschool teacher.
When the future hip-hop star was just a toddler, his father left the family, leaving Voletta to care for her son as a single mother. According to Classic Hip Hop Magazine, the man had already married another woman by the time he left his wife and son.
Though he was born and raised in Brooklyn, Biggie's Jamaican ancestry occasionally came out in his music. He used Jamaican slang words in his songs and also appeared as a featured artist on the remix to the song "Dolly My Baby" by popular Jamaican deejay Super Cat. The music video for his song "One More Chance" featured popular Jamaican dancehall and reggae singer, Patra.
