Biggie's son claims that he and his sister were removed from their grandmother's will
Christopher "C.J." Wallace, son of Notorious B.I.G., claims that he and his sister T'yanna were removed from their grandmother Voletta Wallace's will two weeks before her death. Voletta Wallace, who protected her son’s estate for years, passed away earlier this year, and shortly before her death, significant changes were reportedly made to her will. The situation raises questions about the reason for this change and who will now benefit from the inheritance, as the Wallace family finds itself back in the spotlight.
The Notorious B.I.G.'s estate is once again at the center of a legal battle. This time, the dispute centers on the will of Voletta Wallace, the mother of the legendary rapper who safeguarded his estate for nearly thirty years.
Christopher "C.J." Wallace, Biggie's son, claims that he and his sister T'yanna were removed from their grandmother's will just two weeks before her death. This claim raises questions about what happened in the final days of Voletta's life.
Voletta Wallace passed away earlier this year. For decades, she was the cornerstone of the management of Biggie’s legacy. After her son’s murder in 1997, she dedicated her life to protecting his legacy. She founded the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation, spoke at schools, and ensured that the name Notorious B.I.G. was treated with respect.
C.J. now claims that significant changes were made to the will shortly before her death. Details about who is named in the will and what the exact inheritance entails have not yet been disclosed. It is also unclear what might have prompted this alleged change.
The situation is painful. T'yanna and C.J. are Biggie's only children—T'yanna from his relationship with Jan Jackson, and C.J. from his marriage to Faith Evans. Both children grew up in the shadow of their father’s murder and the immense legacy he left behind, both culturally and financially.
Voletta was known as the guardian of that legacy. The fact that her grandchildren now claim they were excluded at the last minute adds a bitter twist to a story that already has its share of drama.
It is not yet known whether legal action will actually be taken. What is clear, however, is that the Wallace family is once again in the spotlight—and not because of their music.
Biggie's impact on hip-hop is timeless. His albums *Ready to Die* and *Life After Death* are still regarded as blueprints for lyrical excellence. But his legacy—both financial and familial—remains a minefield even decades after his death.
The question remains: What happened during those last two weeks? And who stands to benefit from Voletta’s will?
