Fresh Controversies: Lawsuits and Diddy Allegations Resurface in Late 2025
The current chapter of the Biggie-Faith Evans story is dominated by two major, highly sensitive issues: a legal battle over Biggie's multi-million dollar estate and the renewed public scrutiny surrounding P. Diddy.The Battle for the $100M Catalog: The Voletta Wallace Trust Lawsuit
In one of the most significant recent developments, Faith Evans is facing a major legal challenge over the control of The Notorious B.I.G.'s intellectual property. * The Plaintiffs: The lawsuit was filed by the Voletta Wallace Trust, which represents the interests of Biggie’s late mother, Voletta Wallace, who passed away recently. The trustee of the estate is Wayne Barrow, a former manager and long-time associate of Biggie. * The Core Claim: The suit, which had details unsealed in July 2025, alleges that Faith Evans is attempting to seize unilateral control of Notorious B.I.G. LLC, the company co-owned by Evans and the estate that manages Biggie's music catalog, merchandise, and other assets. * The Stakes: The legal action centers on the alleged withholding of proceeds from the sale of Biggie’s catalog. The estate claims that Evans is violating the operating agreement by managing the company without the trust’s approval, a move that undermines the trust's 50% ownership stake. The value of the catalog is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions, making this a pivotal fight for the future of Biggie’s financial legacy.Faith Evans Denies P. Diddy Murder Allegations
Amid the intense public and legal scrutiny surrounding Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, the long-standing, dark rumors about his alleged involvement in Biggie’s 1997 murder have resurfaced. Faith Evans was forced to publicly address the claims once again. * The Allegations: The rumors, which have circulated for decades, gained renewed traction due to the recent legal issues facing Diddy. Specifically, a rumored "diary" from Diddy’s late ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter, allegedly claimed Diddy orchestrated Biggie’s death and even manipulated Faith Evans's relationship with Biggie. * Evans's Denial: Faith Evans has strongly denied any belief that Diddy was involved in her husband’s murder. She has publicly stated that she does not believe the allegations that Diddy had anything to do with Biggie's death, distancing herself from the sensational claims that have been widely circulated online. Her denial is a critical current update, providing a definitive statement from Biggie’s widow on one of hip-hop’s most persistent conspiracy theories.Protecting the Legacy: Faith, Family, and the Future
Despite the legal and personal turmoil, Faith Evans remains committed to preserving Biggie’s artistic legacy for their family. Her work on the 2017 duets album, The King & I, which paired her vocals with Biggie’s recordings, was a testament to their enduring musical connection. The ongoing legal battles, particularly the lawsuit from the Voletta Wallace Trust, underscore the immense value of Biggie’s work and the complex power dynamics involved in managing a deceased superstar's estate. The future control of Notorious B.I.G. LLC will determine how the next generation of fans experiences the music of one of hip-hop’s most revered figures. As the legal proceedings unfold, the world watches to see who will ultimately be the gatekeeper of the Notorious B.I.G.’s $100 million empire.Detail Author:
