The Entrepreneurial Empire: Cannabis, Clothing, and Social Justice
C.J. Wallace has proven that his ambition extends far beyond the entertainment industry, establishing himself as a serious entrepreneur with a keen focus on social impact. His business ventures are intentionally tied to his father's legacy, but with a progressive, forward-thinking twist.
Think BIG: A Mission-Driven Cannabis Brand
One of Wallace's most high-profile and recent projects is the cannabis brand, Think BIG. This company is more than just a business; it’s a mission. The brand’s name is a direct homage to his father, but the mission is focused on challenging people to "think bigger" about their lives and the world.
The company's social justice component is particularly significant. A portion of the proceeds from Think BIG products goes directly to the Prison Arts Project, a program dedicated to providing arts and creative expression to individuals who are incarcerated. This initiative reflects C.J.'s commitment to criminal justice reform and addressing the disproportionate impact of cannabis prohibition on minority communities.
Frank White: The Lifestyle Brand
Alongside his cannabis venture, C.J. co-founded the lifestyle brand Frank White, named after the alias his father used in the classic hip-hop film New Jack City. The brand serves as a creative outlet that spans clothing, art, and content, further cementing his role as a custodian of his father's cultural influence while carving out his own identity.
The Diddy Lawsuit Controversy: C.J. Fights Back Against Shocking Claims
In what is arguably the most significant and shocking news surrounding C.J. Wallace in 2024 and 2025, he has been dragged into the widening legal fallout surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs. The claims, which C.J. vehemently denies, have forced him to take legal action to protect his reputation and his family's legacy.
The Allegations and C.J.'s Denial
The controversy stems from a lawsuit filed against Diddy by a music producer, Jonathan Hay. In a series of interviews conducted in late 2024 and early 2025, Hay, a former publicist for Faith Evans, alleged that C.J. Wallace was involved in a scheme to lure him to an alleged sexual assault by Diddy. The claims also disturbingly referenced a piece of clothing belonging to The Notorious B.I.G.
C.J. Wallace has responded forcefully, denying any involvement in the alleged events. He has taken the offensive, filing a lawsuit against the producer and publicist, accusing them of engaging in a "calculated smear campaign." Wallace's legal team argues that the claims are false and are designed to exploit the current high-profile legal battles involving Diddy for personal gain.
This lawsuit is a critical moment for C.J., as he works to distance himself from the sensational accusations and protect the integrity of his family name, which has long been intertwined with the Bad Boy Records universe. The legal battle is ongoing and is expected to be a dominant storyline throughout 2025.
Beyond the Name: Acting, Music, and Honoring Biggie's Legacy
While his business and legal life have dominated recent headlines, C.J. Wallace remains a creative force. He first gained recognition by embodying his father in the 2009 biopic, Notorious, a performance that was both challenging and deeply personal for the young actor.
Musical Endeavors with Non Fixtion
Embracing his musical roots, C.J. is also a member of the hip-hop group Non Fixtion. This project allows him to honor the musical tradition of both his parents—The Notorious B.I.G. and R&B icon Faith Evans—while developing a unique sound that is entirely his own. This move into music demonstrates his desire to create a legacy separate from his father’s genre-defining work.
The Future Documentary Project
Looking ahead, C.J. has indicated his intention to be heavily involved in a future documentary about his father. This project is expected to offer an intimate and unique perspective, allowing C.J. to personally uncover and share the true story and cultural impact of The Notorious B.I.G., moving beyond the well-trodden narratives. This documentary is a major anticipated project for fans of Biggie and the hip-hop community.
C.J. Wallace: Charting His Own Path
Christopher Jordan Wallace was born into one of hip-hop's most iconic and tragic stories, losing his father when he was just six months old. Despite this profound loss, he has always felt a strong connection to his father's spirit and impact, guided by his mother, Faith Evans.
Today, C.J. is a mature, multi-talented individual who has successfully leveraged his unique heritage to build a platform for progressive change. From the cannabis industry’s social equity movement to his creative pursuits in film and music, he is clearly focused on creating a legacy that is both respectful of his past and radically focused on the future. His current legal battle, though challenging, highlights his determination to protect his name and define his own narrative in the public eye, ensuring he is seen not just as Biggie Smalls' son, but as a formidable force in his own right.
