Born in Jamaica, she raised her son (whose real name was Christopher Wallace) as a single mom in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. Voletta Wallace worked two jobs to support the young Notorious B.I.G., including as a preschool teacher.

Also known as Biggie Smalls, the rapper released just one album during his lifetime, 1994’s Ready to Die. Enjoying immense success, he was set to release the follow-up, Life After Death,16 days after he was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, California. Biggie was just 24 years old when he died on March 9, 1997.

Reeling from her son’s still-unsolved murder, Voletta Wallace threw herself into activism. She started the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation, dedicated to community empowerment through arts and education.

Six months prior to Biggie’s death, his lyrical arch-nemesis, Tupac Shakur, also died in a drive-by shooting, in Las Vegas.

Afeni Shakur died in 2016 at age 69. “they’re together again,” one YouTube user wrote.
