MUSIC: B.I.G.'s Mom Says Diddy Loved Biggie... After He Died

In her new memoir, Voletta Wallace, the mother of the late Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace, says her son's friends used his memory for their own profit:

"I'm glad my son does not have to witness that the very people that he thought he could ride and die with wouldn't think twice about using his mother," Wallace writes in regards to Diddy and Kim. "I am glad that he's not here to see how they have used his image and his name."

Wallace also added, "I believe Sean loved my son - after he was dead. I used to tell Christopher all the time not to trust Sean."

P Puffy Daddy rode Notorious B.I.G.'s death to his own stardom with the Police-sampling "tribute" song "I'll Be Missing You", cranked out mere months after his friend's death.

Voletta Wallace also alleges that another of Biggie's friends, Lil' Kim, stole from her:

Meanwhile, Lil' Kim has borrowed countless lines from the rapper and even adopted some of his aliases, namely Kim's 2000 album which was titled, Notorious K.I.M. Furthermore, in the book, Wallace alleges that Kim stole from her New Jersey residence after she let Queen Bee use the home for a magazine interview.

"The first picture I saw was Kim wearing my son's mink coat, holding his chain and wearing his hat. I was in shock. I felt violated," Wallace revealed in the book. "I read the entire article and learned that not only was Kim wearing things belonging to my son, but she claimed that the home belonged to her as well. This experience helped me draw my own opinions about Kim. And they weren't good."

The memoir, $29.95, in stores October 25th.

is this any shock? i mean, i saw the interview sean combs did with kurt loder after biggie's death, and i was thinking, this guy is going to use his death as the basis of his career. sometimes i wonder if he had anything to do with biggie's death.

I don't think Biggie is rolling in his grave, he always said he was about the paper, hence the phrase "Get Money" or the lyrics:

How you livin' Biggie Smalls?
In mansions and benzes,
givin' ends to my friends
and it feels stupendous...

But oh, boo-hoo, woe is me. Buy the book.

Does this surprise anyone? Puffy used a ghostwriter to pen his "heartfelt tribute to a fallen friend". He actually paid someone money to tell him how he felt about his dead friend. The man is a fucking ghoul.

I've thought he did from the moment the tribute came out.

You do realize the Murda Mase and Killa Kam('ron) started off as hardcore rappers in the vein of Mobb Deep right? They switched styles when they found they could make more money in shiny suits and pink cars.
